Property description
This beautiful two-bedroom character cottage is perfectly located in the heart of Newport, just a minute’s walk from the mainline railway station to London and Cambridge.
Offering charming features, a beautiful garden and off-road parking at the front of the cottage. This home is arranged across three levels, the accommodation includes an entrance lobby, a living room with a dual log burner, a dining room, and a well-appointed kitchen. On the first floor, there is a double bedroom and a bright bathroom, while the top floor hosts a large second double bedroom. The south-facing rear garden is a standout feature, providing a tranquil and spacious outdoor area, private gate backing on to the common and a shed.
Situated in the centre of Newport, the property is within walking distance of the railway station, primary schools, and Newport Free Grammar School. The village itself boasts a selection of shops, inns, and restaurants. For additional amenities, the market town of Saffron Walden is just two miles away, with convenient access to the M11 at Birchanger. Cambridge, renowned for its university, is also within easy reach.
Upon entering, the front door opens to an entrance lobby leading to the living room, which features polished wooden flooring, a sash window, and a Yeoman multi-fuel burner set within a brick fireplace with an oak mantel. The dining room overlooks the garden and includes a polished wooden floor, stairs with under-stair storage, and a rear-facing window. The kitchen, extending the full length of the house, is fitted with base and wall units, a single sink with a drainer, and appliances including plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher. A stable door opens to the garden.
On the first floor, the galleried landing offers a small built-in cupboard. The main bedroom includes a cast iron fireplace and a sash window with a front-facing aspect. The bathroom features a panelled bath with a drencher shower, a pedestal washbasin, and a WC, with checkered tiled flooring adding character.
The second floor houses a spacious loft-style second bedroom, featuring a window to the front, a half-landing window, and a frosted side window. This floor is accessed by a staircase, which also leads to a loft area. Also, the roof has been replaced in the last five years and a new boiler installed.
Outside, the front of the property offers off-road parking for a small vehicle, with side access to a generous, L-shaped rear garden. The garden includes a patio adjacent to the kitchen, leading to a lawn bordered by flower beds. It also features a garden shed and backs onto the recreation ground, enjoying a sunny southerly aspect.
