A handsome, end-of-terrace Victorian cottage of generous proportions and an abundance of character, occupying a highly sought-after location in Newnham.
Derby Cottage is a charming and spacious Victorian home, which occupies a highly convenient and sought-after location in the heart of Newnham, within around 15 minutes’ walk of the city centre. It benefits from a wealth of character courtesy of period features including, but not limited to, exposed floorboards, high ceilings, picture rails, fireplaces and sash windows.
The property opens into the entrance hall, which has stairs to the first floor with storage under and access to the principal rooms. The generously proportioned living/dining room has easterly and westerly windows and two attractive, working fireplaces. The kitchen would benefit from some updating, but currently includes a recently installed combination boiler, space for a cooker and a fridge/freezer, plumbing for a washing machine and door to the rear garden. Located to the rear, the family bathroom is partly tiled and fitted with a suite including a panelled bath with a shower attachment, wash basin, WC and a heated towel rail.
On the first floor, there are two similarly sized double bedrooms with original feature fireplaces and built-in cupboards. At the extended rear, there is a further double bedroom, which has a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams and a dual aspect including a stained-glass window. A further room could be used as a study or a nursery.
Outside, a private gate at the front provides pedestrian access to the rear garden, which enjoys a westerly aspect and has a paved area and a pond. It is predominantly enclosed by boundary walls and includes established trees, shrubs, a timber shed and a second gate located at the rear, which provides access to/from Newnham Croft Street.
Location
Derby Street runs between Barton Road and Merton Street in the heart of Newnham Village and lies about 1 mile west of the city centre.
