The Property

A fantastic and rare opportunity for first-time buyers, or those looking to upsize or downsize, to acquire one of these attractive Victorian railway cottages set within the sought-after Highfield Cottages Conservation Area.

This spacious three-bedroom home is quietly positioned on a no-through road and enjoys a delightful westerly-facing rear garden backing onto allotments, the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy sunny evenings away from the hustle and bustle.

The current owners have thoughtfully updated and improved the property in recent years, creating a well presented home with a lovely standard of finish throughout. On entering, you’re greeted by a spacious full-width living room, where high ceilings enhance the sense of space and a charming feature chimney breast with fitted alcove cupboards adds character and warmth.

Towards the rear, a recently upgraded high quality Wren kitchen showcases a stylish range of classic shaker-style units, a central breakfast bar, and modern fitted appliances. The ground floor also benefits from a contemporary white bathroom, recently refitted with a modern suite.

Upstairs continues the home’s bright and characterful feel, featuring high ceilings, exposed timber floorboards, and an abundance of natural light. There are three bedrooms on this level, two generous doubles and a particularly spacious single bedroom.

Outside, the westerly-facing rear garden offers both style and practicality, featuring a timber-decked seating area leading to a lawned garden and a useful outbuilding providing additional storage.

Further benefits include gas central heating and double glazing to the rear.

This is a truly wonderful opportunity to secure a charming period home in a peaceful yet convenient location. Early viewing is highly recommended.
