Property description

Situated in a central and convenient yet tucked away location at the top of a no through road is this beautifully presented 2 bedroom character cottage with off road parking and no onward chain. The high street, sea front, Tunnels and Wildersmouth Beaches, as well as the picturesque harbour are all within minutes' walk. Must be viewed!

2 Brookfield Cottages is a beautifully presented link-detached characterful cottage situated in a central and convenient location tucked away at the top of a quiet no through road with no through traffic. There is no onward chain making the property ready for immediate occupation. The high street shops are just a stone's throw away and the sea front with its beaches, theatre, excellent restaurants and bars, the picturesque harbour and Damien Hirst's 'Verity' statue is just a short mainly level stroll away and readily accessible in a matter of minutes.

The cottage has charming and characterful accommodation arranged over two floors and has a high quality finish throughout with neutral decor and stylish fixtures and fittings. The property would make an excellent permanent home for those looking for convenience to the local amenities but equally could be used a second or holiday home or as a quality buy-to-let investment. Potential rental income would amount to approximately ?650 - ?675 per calendar month.

As soon as you step through the front door the high quality finish is immediately apparent as is a well thought out blend of versatile accommodation having been the subject of many stylish and contemporary upgrades including a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom, gas fired central heating and uPVC double glazing. There is also the considerable benefit of off road parking which is a real rarity for properties in this price range, especially ones so close to the centre of the town! An enclosed rear court yard garden area provides a pleasant outdoor space and is ideal for al-fresco dining, barbeques or for simply enjoying the days sunshine.

An enclosed entrance porch opens into the living room which has a bay window to the front. At the rear there is a chic and stylish 16ft long fully fitted kitchen comprising a range of modern base and wall units which include an integrated in oven, hob and extractor canopy. A large under stairs cupboard provides useful storage for the everyday essentials such as the vacuum cleaner and ironing board. Within the room there is a space for a dining table (a bespoke table has been made) and chairs and there is direct access on to the courtyard garden.

Moving to the first floor, on the half landing is a separate wc. The main landing has both bedrooms and the bathroom leading off and a hatch to loft space which provides further storage. The master bedroom is a double room at the front of the cottage and has a bay window. Bedroom 2, at the rear is a further good sized room and enjoys open views over the town towards the Torrs. The modern family bathroom comprises a bath with a shower attachment and shower curtain over, a low level wc and a hand basin set in a vanity unit with cupboard under. A further cupboard houses the Baxi gas fired combination boiler for the central heating and hot water.

Outside, at the front of the cottage there is a private gravelled off road parking area for 1 vehicle which is a real asset for town centre properties. The enclosed rear courtyard garden can be accessed directly from the kitchen but there is also further access from a side lane. The courtyard is sheltered yet benefits from plenty of the days sunlight and is a pleasant low maintenance sitting area and an attractive feature of the property. Within the yard is a really handy and useful lockable storage area suitable for an array of larger items such as bikes and other outdoor equipment. There is access from the side of the property.

2 Brookfield Cottages is a must see and can only be fully appreciated by an early internal inspection.
