About
Full of period character and thoughtfully updated, Primrose Cottage is a Victorian semi-detached home that combines high ceilings, plenty of natural light and a practical layout.
The property is not listed, has uPVC double glazing and planning permission already in place for a double garage with a garden room and WC, there's still scope to shape the property around your own needs.
The kitchen is fitted with cream shaker-style units, solid wood worktops and a ceramic sink, along with an integrated dishwasher, electric oven and five-ring gas hob.
Tiled flooring continues through to the bathroom, creating a practical finish that's easy to maintain.
The lounge is a bright, south-facing room with high ceilings and a brick fireplace ready for a wood-burning stove should you wish to install one.
A door opens directly to the front garden, while the more widely used entrance is conveniently positioned to the side of the cottage.
The ground floor bathroom is generously sized and includes both a separate bath and a corner shower with a traditional-style shower fitting, along with a vanity unit providing useful storage.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a comfortable double overlooking the front of the property and enjoying a sunny south-facing aspect.
The remaining two rooms are generous single bedrooms, with the rear room looking out across open fields.
The loft has been boarded and is accessed via a fitted loft ladder, providing excellent additional storage.
Outside, the front garden sets the cottage back from the road, while the rear courtyard includes useful storage sheds.
Beyond this is a surprisingly large garden with mature sycamore and fruit trees, wrapping behind the neighbouring property to create a lovely outdoor space with plenty of potential.
The property benefits from mains gas, mains water, a modern combi boiler and uPVC double glazing throughout. Agent's Note: The property is served by private drainage.
Buyers are advised to make their own enquiries regarding the drainage system as part of the conveyancing process. Please see the floorplan for room sizes.
