Property description
Quirky by place, pleasant by nature this is how I would describe this three bedroom 18th century former farmworkers\‘ cottage which boasts charm and character throughout! Situated on the end plot of the row of terraced properties, not only do you get a house with such fantastic potential, but a private parking area, cottage garden and detached garage too! Inside you will discover a sitting room with original black leaded Range cooker and staircase to the first floor; a dual aspect lounge with open fireplace; kitchen with fitted units and door to the rear garden and to a guest WC. Upstairs are three bedrooms including the dual aspect master bedroom with built in wardrobe and there is also a good sized family bathroom with a modern suite and traditional porcelain wall tiling. The village of Derrington is becoming increasingly popular with families, particularly for falling into the catchment area for well reputed local schools. A property like this in an area like this is hard to come by so don\‘t let an opportunity like this pass you by!
