Summary Delightful 3-bed, 3-storey Victorian cottage provides historical charm & offers a cosy living room with original open fireplace, integrated kitchen, fence & brick walled courtyard garden with power to outbuildings.
Within easy walking distance of Needham railway station & Needham Lake. Call to view!
Description Station Yard Upon entering the cottage, you are greeted by a cosy living room, where the original open fireplace serves as the heart of the home.
The decoration is in pastel colours with wooden plank effect laminate flooring.
Adjacent to the living room is the well-appointed and recently refitted kitchen diner, featuring an integrated fridge-freezer and a Bosch oven with an induction hob and extractor hood.
An under-sink water softener operates automatically for the whole house. There is an understairs cupboard for additional cool storage.
A small lobby leads to a ground floor bathroom equipped with a four-piece suite of bath, separate shower, and toilet and washbasin set in a range of built-in storage cupboards.
Wall cupboards provide further storage together with a concealed shaver socket. The bathroom is illuminated with LED downlighters. The first floor has 2 bedrooms.
Bedroom one features a Victorian fireplace, which adds real character to the room. The flue is clean, capped and vented.
From bedroom two at the rear of the cottage, stairs lead to the second floor bedroom number three.
This light and airy room is well served by 2 conventional windows and a large Velux roof light, and could provide a very pleasant office for home working.
There are large storage cupboards under the eaves along one wall.
Outside, there is a courtyard garden, fully enclosed by panel fencing and brick walls for privacy, with a side gate giving access to Needham Lake.
The courtyard is a mixture of paved and gravelled areas, offering a secluded space for outdoor seating and alfresco dining, with gentle outdoor lighting. There are two brick-built outbuildings.
One is equipped with power and is plumbed currently for a washing machine and accommodates a chest freezer. The other acts as a log store for the open fire.
