Description

Charming 2 Bedroom Cottage with South-Facing Garden, Views and Modern Upgrades.

This charming two-bedroom cottage has been beautifully enhanced by the current vendor, creating a warm and inviting home that blends character with comfort.

Set back from the road, it enjoys views over its own garden and beyond to the green open space of “Westexe Park,” with its mature trees, ponds, bowling green and even a bandstand.

The front garden has been transformed into a beautiful and natural lawned space with mature shrub borders, perfectly complementing the cottage’s setting. South-facing, it’s an idyllic spot to enjoy a cappuccino or glass of wine on a sunny day.

A stable door opens into the sitting room, where the focal point is a stunning renovated open fireplace with a log burner, adding to the perfect cottage feel. A deep windowsill frames views over the front garden, and the space is light and welcoming.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully improved, now benefitting from an additional window which floods the room with natural light.

Fitted with cream gloss units, stainless steel fittings, granite-effect laminate work surfaces, inset gas hob, electric oven and stainless-steel hood, it offers both style and practicality.

From here, a stable door leads to the rear courtyard/path, the utility room with plumbing and lighting, and rear access to Melbourne Street. Additional under-stairs storage adds to the home’s practicality.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms. The main bedroom is south-facing with lovely views across the green space, while the second bedroom – currently used as an office – enjoys plenty of natural light and overlooks the rear.

The bathroom has been updated to include an enclosed double shower, complementing its fresh and modern feel.

This is a little gem of a cottage, combining charming period features with tasteful updates, making it ready to move into and enjoy.

  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
  • Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
