A great opportunity to purchase a charming, characterful mid terraced cottage with two double bedrooms, presented to the market with the bonus of no onward chain and ideally located just a short walk to local facilities, which include a Co-op, hairdressers and public house. The property is also within easy reach of the town centre and mainline train station. The cottage forms part of a Wesleyan Methodist church that was built in 1792 and converted to residential dwellings in the 1850s. This unique property has been the very much cherished and enjoyed home to our seller for the last thirty two years. During this time it has been well maintained and offers comfortable living with the option to further update and mark to one's own style and design. The cottage boasts many character features, such as fireplaces, windows with deep sill, exposed timbers in the attic store, a wonderful pane glass internal sliding window and some of the wood panelling made from the church pews. Catering to modern day expectation, the cottage has gas fired central heating from a brand new combination boiler and uPVC double glazed arched windows with pane glass style bar, in keeping with the original church windows. The property offers an easy to use layout with well proportioned rooms, a fabulous, large garden and a viewing is vital to truly appreciate how this lovely home will satisfy the needs of many - from those looking for their first step on the housing ladder to those looking for a downsize in their leisure years, as well as fulfilling many other needs. An early viewing is recommended to avoid missing out on the chance to be the next owner.
