Description - This semi-detached Victorian cottage is thought to have been built in the late 1890s and has been owned by the vendors since 2005. During this time, they have undergone an extensive refurbishment project, turning this Victorian cottage into a comfortable and modern property which retains much of the original Victorian characterful features. The property benefits from a right of way over the drive of the neighbouring property, through a timber 5-bar gate, which provides access onto the private gravelled area, with space to park a large vehicle. Adjoining the gravelled area is a former stone barn with a sliding garage door. This barn is currently used as a workshop but could be used to house a small car or, as it currently is, as a workshop with bike storage.
