Welcome to this enchanting four-bedroom Victorian cottage, a spacious and beautifully maintained home dating back to approximately 1890, where period charm meets modern comfort. Upon entering, you are greeted by a striking hallway adorned with original Victorian tiles, setting the tone for the character features that flow throughout the property. The ground floor boasts two inviting reception rooms, each enhanced by exposed Victorian floorboards, offering flexible living and entertaining spaces for all the family. The heart of the home is the stunning garden room, flooded with natural light and providing a tranquil setting for relaxation or gatherings, seamlessly connecting to the rest of the house. The thoughtfully designed kitchen blends traditional style with contemporary fittings, while a convenient cloakroom adds practicality for busy households.

Throughout the cottage, classic Victorian features - such as decorative cornicing, sash windows, and original woodwork - create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The property also benefits from off-road parking for two vehicles, a rare advantage in such a characterful home and an enclosed rear garden with the addition of a summer house (which has access to it’s own phoneline which can be utilised as a home office).
