House For Sale £190,000
Centrally located in Oadby and within walking distance of the town centre, this two-bedroom Victorian property has undergone an extensive refurbishment to include a newly fitted roof (September 2022), a full damp-proof course and repointing of the chimneys. Characterised by generous proportions, the home features a thoughtful colour palette that complements the textured elements of the original cottage, including exposed wooden beams, original oak-framed doors and open brickwork.
Upon entering through the hallway, you are welcomed into the front reception room, meticulously curated with attention to detail. A large double-glazed sash window at the front allows natural light to permeate the downstairs area, accentuating the dark teal feature wall positioned at the centre of the space. The room retains its historical charm with exposed wooden beams, original oak-framed doors, and oak hardwood flooring. Towards the rear, a spacious fitted kitchen, larger than average, boasts exposed wooden beams and brickwork, Victorian-inspired tiling, a newly fitted electric hob, integrated oven, concealed extractor and ample oak surface preparation area. Large double-glazed windows and stable-inspired wooden doors provide both convenient access and pleasant views of the extensive North facing rear garden.
Ascending a narrow staircase leads to two double bedrooms on the first floor and a stylishly appointed three-piece family bathroom. The larger bedroom features a large double-glazed sash window, a captivating dark green colour palette, exposed wooden beams and oak-framed doors. A separate fitted cupboard offers additional storage. The second bedroom, currently configured as a dressing room, has access to both the family bathroom and a second-floor open space functioning as a large home studio, easily convertible into a third double bedroom (subject to necessary consents). This space is illuminated by two large VELUX skylights overlooking the rear garden and accommodates the combi-boiler and space for free-standing furniture. The property is equipped with gas central heating. The recently upgraded split-tier North-facing garden to the rear comprises a laid-to-lawn greenery and a raised patio area, ensuring privacy from neighbouring properties. Convenient on-street parking is readily available directly outside the property.
In a market where freehold two-bedroom cottages under the £200,000 bracket are a rarity in the immediate area, this property is a standout opportunity. Early interest is highly recommended by the agent to fully appreciate this fabulous starter home in a thriving suburb.

Vendor comments:
" Nestled in a welcoming neighbourhood, my home exudes character, warmth and fun. I've always been captivated by the timeless appeal of its original features. From the intricately crafted doors and charmingly wonky frames to the unique ironmongery that adds a touch of antique charm. The kitchen boasts a period brick surround fireplace and the bedroom even holds a mystery safe, adding an air of intrigue to the space. The attic was served as my personal studio for many years now, a haven where creativity flows. It's a place where time seems to stand still, adorned by rustic beams that tell a story of the past. In the winter months, I watch many firework displays up there. In spring, the garden comes to life with lively wild poppies homing an abundance of wildlife. I've loved the unique blend of history and modernity in this charming terraced house, where every corner holds a story waiting to be told. "
