Description
April Cottage comprises a relatively spacious three bedroom end of terrace property, that we understand dates from the late 1980s.  In all, the accommodation extends to nearly 850 sq ft (79 sqm) and comprises a good size entrance hall, 21’ open plan sitting and dining room, recently refurbished kitchen and cloakroom on the ground floor.  On the first floor there are two good size double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a bathroom.

Outside there is an enclosed courtyard garden to the front of the property, set within a low level brick wall, whilst to the rear is an enclosed, westerly facing garden that enjoys the sun during the latter part of the day.  The rear garden is predominantly laid to gravel and paving, and there is also a pergola attached to the rear of the property that provides a covered seating area.  

Beside the property is a shared driveway arrangement where two visitor car parking spaces are located, together with a single garage, that backs onto the garden.  The garage has power and light connected with personnel door at the rear.  It measures approximately 5.21m x 2.61m 

In recent years April Cottage has been let, and has recently been re-carpeted and redecorated both internally and externally.  A new kitchen has also been fitted.  The property also benefits from a Worcester combination boiler that was installed in 2017.

Prospective purchasers should note that April Cottage did suffer from flooding during Storm Babet in October 2023.  A flood resilience report was commissioned in December 2024, a copy of which is available to interested parties on request.
