4 bedroom terraced house for sale

Originally built in the 1870's as a railway workers' cottage, Sage Cottage forms part of a terrace of attractive brick built houses that occupy a convenient position within the village.

Set behind an attractive dwarf brick wall the property has a delightful double fronted facade under a clay tiled roof. Once inside, the flexible accommodation is perfectly suited to family life, with two lovely reception rooms sitting either side of the central staircase. To one side is the sitting room, which features a beautiful cast iron period fireplace with a solid mantel and surround, and to the other a dining room, another charming room which also features a character fireplace with an oak mantel; the rooms are linked via an opening beneath the stairs, giving them a lovely sociable flow, perfect for entertaining and families alike.

Beyond the sitting room a Victorian shaker style door opens through to the kitchen and utility room beyond. The kitchen is well fitted with a good range of farmhouse style wall and base units with a contrasting black counter top, an integrated dishwasher, cooker, and there is plumbing for a washing machine and space for a fridge/freezer. Laid out on a practical tiled floor, the kitchen also has a large window to the rear that looks out over the garden. To the left of the kitchen is a handy utility room, with a ground floor cloakroom, further storage within built in cupboards and open shelving, there is a door to the garden and space for a tumble dryer.

On the first floor you will find four good sized bedrooms and family bathroom. The main bedroom has a pretty cast iron fireplace with two front facing windows, there is a second double room to the front and a large single and a double to the rear.

Outside, the property has a good sized lawned garden, with a garden shed, mature borders and a beautiful Clematis plant. As is tradition with railway worker cottages there is a pedestrian footpath for the cottage owners from one end of the terrace to the other, to allow easy access to the garden without going through the house.

In recent years, the property has had some replacement windows, a new central heating boiler, and a new roof. The loft is also boarded, with a light and ladder.

What we love about this property... Sage Cottage has a warm, welcoming feel from the moment you arrive. The bright, double-fronted layout offers great space for both relaxing and entertaining, with two character-filled living areas that connect effortlessly. The garden is a standout – private, well-kept, and full of charm - perfect for summer gatherings, kids’ play, or simply unwinding in the sun!
