Property description

A period part brick, part stone three/four bedroom detached cottage with a private enclosed garden, countryside views, requiring renovation and modernisation, and no onward chain.

Built in 1833, Quinbury Cottage has approximately 1,220 sq. ft. of accommodation arranged over three floors comprising an entrance porch with stairs to the landing, a door to a dual aspect sitting room, and access to a dining room overlooking the front with a feature brick surround fireplace. This opens to a separate kitchen which leads to a glazed rear porch with doors to a utility room and a cloakroom. The principal bedroom, a second double bedroom and family shower room are on the first floor. Both bedrooms have an elevated outlook across open countryside to the front. Behind a door on the landing, stairs rise to a third double bedroom measuring over 15 ft. by nearly 12 ft. with a gable end window. An opening leads to a similarly sized attic room which could serve as a fourth bedroom, a hobby room, or a study. The cottage requires renovation and modernising and is offered for sale with no chain. Please note, there is no off street parking, but street parking is available nearby.

Outside

Quinbury Cottage is set back from the road on an elevated position overlooking countryside views to the front. The cottage is approached through a gate in a brick wall which leads to the front terrace, the entrance porch, and gated side access. The rear porch opens immediately to the enclosed rear garden with a paved seating area for al fresco dining and steps leading to a raised lawn bordered by established flower beds and mature trees. At the end of the garden is a greenhouse and a timber garden shed.
