4 Alkington Road, Whitchurch, £145,000

Pretty, quaint, characterful – all adjectives that often apply to cottages – properties that you expect to find in the country. However the property in the spotlight is actually in the town, albeit a relatively quiet backwater!

The same adjectives still however apply and on top of that, there is an extended refitted kitchen, a refitted bathroom, a comfortable sitting room with beamed ceiling and two upstairs bedrooms.

However, it is not just the fabric of the building that has been improved; it is the lovely rear garden that raises an eyebrow (or two!) because it's far larger than you would expect.

There is ample off-road parking at the rear, for several vehicles, including access to the enclosed back garden via a five-bar gate to a further, secure gravelled parking area.

The cottage will appeal to first time buyers, couples and investors. An internal inspection is thoroughly recommended.
