Positioned in the heart of Crosspool, this stunning three-bedroom detached cottage dates back to 1820 and was formerly the village bakery. Finished to an exceptional standard throughout, it beautifully combines period character with high-quality modern updates, all just a short walk from local shops, cafés, highly regarded schools and with easy access into the city centre.
Entry is via the front door into a welcoming lobby, leading through to a bright and spacious living room. Wood-effect, hard-wearing porcelain flooring runs seamlessly across the ground floor, creating a cohesive feel. With windows on three sides and French doors opening onto the garden, the space is filled with natural light. The feature fireplace, complete with a wood-burning stove, limestone hearth, slate detailing and timber mantel, provides a striking focal point and a cosy place to unwind.
The dining kitchen offers an excellent balance of style and practicality. There is space at the front of the room for a dining table and chairs, ideal for everyday family life and entertaining. To the rear, the timeless Shaker-style kitchen features sage green units above and below walnut-effect worktops, complemented by a white herringbone tiled splashback and brick-effect tiles to the opposite wall. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer, along with an extractor fan, while the range cooker is also included within the sale. A rear door provides direct access to the garden.
Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a beautifully appointed bathroom. The principal bedroom is a generous double with built-in wardrobes either side of the chimney breast. Bedroom two is a slightly smaller double with fitted cupboards, while bedroom three is a good-sized single, ideal as a child’s bedroom, guest room or home office, with additional storage above the stairs.
The bathroom has been finished to a superb standard, with full tiling and contemporary fittings. A freestanding bath, large shower cubicle and built-in vanity unit with integral sink and WC create a luxurious yet practical space.
Externally, the south-east facing garden can be accessed from both the living room and the rear of the property. Private and enclosed, it features a sizeable patio area perfect for summer evenings and BBQs, along with a lawn and surrounding flowerbeds, an inviting space for relaxing or gardening alike. There is off-street parking to the side of the property.
