A Period Cottage with Real Character
Tucked away in a quiet part of St Leonards, this period cottage is a really interesting little house, with plenty of character and a good deal more personality than most. It is set in a discreet location, but still within reach of local shops, schools, parks and Warrior Square station.
This is not a house that has been modernised to within an inch of its life, and that is very much part of its appeal. It has clearly been lived in and cared for over a long period of time, and there is a warmth and individuality here that is quite hard to create artificially.
One of the main features is the handmade timber kitchen, which has been built with real care and suits the house extremely well. It gives the property a sense of quality without feeling showy or out of keeping.
The accommodation includes two bedrooms, along with a boarded loft room, accessed by one of the more memorable details of the house — a concealed bookcase doorway leading to the stairs. The loft room has a Velux window and provides useful additional space, with potential for different uses subject of course to any necessary consents.
Some buyers may want to make changes here and there, and there are areas that could be refreshed over time. But this is not a straightforward renovation project, nor should it be treated like one. The value here is in the character and atmosphere and the fact that the house still feels individual.
For anyone looking for a period home with charm, craftsmanship and a bit of soul this is a lovely and rather unusual St Leonards cottage.
Although these particulars are thought to be materially correct their accuracy cannot be guaranteed and they do not form part of any contract.
