An enchanting double-fronted cottage, beautifully appointed with period features and timeless character, situated within this historic market town.
A charming two-bedroom character cottage, rich in period detail and timeless appeal. The property showcases the warmth and individuality synonymous with traditional cottage living, with features such as exposed beams, traditional brickwork, and beautifully proportioned rooms that create an inviting and homely atmosphere.
Living in a period cottage offers a rare blend of history, craftsmanship, and character. Thoughtfully designed layouts promote a sense of comfort and intimacy. Each room tells its own story, lending a unique personality and enduring charm to the home. This delightful cottage provides an ideal balance between heritage and everyday practicality, offering a peaceful retreat with a strong sense of place. Perfect for those who value authenticity, character, and a home with a story, it presents a truly special opportunity to enjoy the enduring benefits of period living.
The kitchen with dining area complements the cottage’s character perfectly, offering an excellent range of country-style storage units, a Belfast sink, and a desirable dual aspect that fills the space with natural light. A door leads to generous understairs storage, while the adjoining rear lobby provides access to the charming courtyard garden and a convenient ground-floor WC. The sitting room offers a warm and inviting space, thoughtfully proportioned to offer an elegant setting for both leisurely moments and stylish entertaining.
To the first floor are two beautifully presented double bedrooms, one benefiting from a good-sized built-in cupboard. The bathroom is well appointed, featuring a mains-powered shower over the bath, full tiling, and a heated towel radiator.
The attractive courtyard garden is a true highlight, enjoying sunlight from the south, west, and east, and offering uninterrupted views towards the spire of All Saints’ Church—an idyllic setting for relaxation.
Pem Lane is a quiet no-through road, ideally positioned for easy access to Waterloo Lane, the Market Place, and Market Street, where a diverse selection of independent retailers can be enjoyed. This central and convenient location forms part of the historic heart of the town. The area is steeped in local history, once closely associated with brewing, and it is believed that the name The Malt House originates from its historic connection to the production of malt for the town’s former breweries.
