Dating back to 1890, we are delighted to present Armoury Cottage. Originally built with a single-story side extension serving as an armoury, this space was historically used to store rifles and was rented to the War Office as a yearly tenant.
Over the years, the property has been thoughtfully extended and transformed into a beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached family home with off-road parking. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that combines modern living with fascinating historical significance.
Offering over 1,450 sq. ft. of flexible living space, this well-designed Semi Detached property combines comfort and practicality, making it an ideal home for families or those seeking extra room to grow.
On the ground floor, a welcoming porch opens into a central hallway that leads to the heart of the home – a generous lounge/diner measuring 22’4” x 11’7”. This bright, open space is perfect for family living and entertaining, with direct access to the garden. The adjoining kitchen/diner offers plenty of room for cooking and casual meals, complemented by a separate utility room for added convenience.
Two additional reception rooms on this level provide superb versatility, functioning equally well as bedrooms, home offices or playrooms, depending on your lifestyle needs. A ground floor W.C. and useful storage cupboards complete the accommodation on this level.
Upstairs, the property features two well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a spacious double, while the second benefits from built-in storage. Both are served by a modern family bathroom with bath and shower facilities.
