EweMove – a charming character home believed to date back to the 1890s. This three-bedroom semi-detached property is located in an enviable non-estate position overlooking Woodland to the front. Situated in the popular village of Mortimer this well-maintained abode has been extended over time and has been lovingly refurbished by its current owners. The property offers three bedrooms, a refitted four-piece bathroom, a charming snug, downstairs cloakroom, open plan living/dining room and a generous kitchen/breakfast room.

The property is entered via a wooden front door and you are immediately greeted by a charming entrance hall which has wooden floors, a wall mounted radiator and part exposed brick walls. The entrance hall provides access into the inner hallway and to the downstairs cloakroom. The downstairs cloakroom has been refitted and features a low-level w/c with push button flush, wall mounted radiator, hand wash basin with mixer tap and tiled splashback, LED spot lighting and a front elevation frosted window. From the entrance hall an opening leads to the inner hallway.

The inner hallway provides access to all of the downstairs accommodation as well as the first floor. There is an understairs cupboard which provides a good amount of storage and houses the recently fitted Worcester Bosch Boiler. The inner hallway and snug benefit from sanded down original floorboards. The snug is located to the front of the property and is a cosy space with a feature fireplace, a wall mounted radiator and fitted blind on a front elevation window. The living/dining room is a brilliantly bright open plan space with hard flooring throughout. The living area features a characterful brick surround fireplace and a wall mounted radiator.

The dining room benefits from enough space for a six-seater table, has a wall mounted radiator and has sliding doors to the rear that lead out to the rear garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a very generous space, again courtesy of an extension, and has tiled flooring. The breakfast space features a wall mounted radiator and space for a good-sized family table. The kitchen features a range of eye and base level units with wooden work surfaces. There is space and plumbing for a washing machine, space for an undercounter fridge, space for an undercounter freezer, space for an electric oven and a stainless-steel sink with drainer & mixer tap. The current owners also have a further large American style fridge/freezer. The kitchen benefits from being dual aspect with side and rear elevation windows as well as a door that leads to the rear garden.
