Outside, there is a pretty walled courtyard garden to the front with side access to the south-west facing rear garden. An attached brick outbuilding houses the boiler and offers garden storage. The patio area leads to a good size, level-lawned garden that enjoys sunshine throughout the day and evening, a perfect space for relaxing and entertaining with the potential for keen gardeners to fill with their favourite plants.
This cottage combines modern updates with classic charm, making it an ideal first home or rental investment and is for sale with no onward chain.
