GUIDE PRICE £500,000 - £525,000. A charming and characterful period cottage, situated on the Common and within a short walk of the town and station offering spacious and well presented accommodation comprising two double bedrooms, both with ensuites, kitchen and separate utility room as well sitting room with inglenook fireplace and sunny, private gardens.
Tucked away behind mature foliage and a charming picket fence, this exquisite period cottage offers the perfect blend of timeless character and modern living. Overflowing with original features, the property boasts beamed ceilings, a solid oak staircase, an impressive inglenook fireplace, and beautiful latch doors-each detail a testament to its rich heritage.
A quaint pathway guides you through a secluded front garden, complete with a central patio courtyard and manicured lawn, before arriving at the welcoming original front door. Step inside to a practical porch area, ideal for coats and boots, which opens into the entrance hall. From here, a latch door leads down to a useful cellar, perfect for storage.
The spacious sitting room exudes warmth and charm, featuring a delightful box window and a magnificent inglenook fireplace-an ideal setting for cosy evenings. The kitchen marries classic style with modern convenience, fitted with contemporary shaker-style units, a solid butcher's block worktop, and space for a compact Range cooker, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer.

At the rear, elegant double doors open into a conservatory that enjoys tranquil views across the beautifully landscaped, low-maintenance gardens. Raised beds, defined seating areas, and thoughtful planting create a calm oasis ideal for entertaining or quiet retreat.
Ascend the handcrafted oak staircase-an original Grade II listed feature-to the first floor, where you'll find a generously proportioned double bedroom complete with fitted wardrobes and a stylish ensuite bathroom. The top floor reveals a second double bedroom, equally characterful, with its own private ensuite shower room.
Perfectly positioned, the cottage lies just a short, scenic stroll across the common to the vibrant High Street, the iconic Pantiles, and the mainline station. Despite its central location, the property remains a hidden gem, cocooned in privacy by mature trees and shrubbery.
