Property description
AGENTS NOTES Set well back from the road in a generous south facing plot and enjoying quite staggering city views, a substantial detached 1297sqft Victorian cottage with garage, driveway and beautiful gardens. Currently configured as four double bedrooms, two receptions, kitchen, bathroom and dressing room but offering further scope to re-arrange or enlarge. Once the heart of a market garden, Rose Cottage already ticks lots of boxes for potential buyers with the size of the accommodation, gardens and parking but also offers an incredibly rare combination of character, seclusion and views in an extremely sought after location on the southwestern slopes of the city.
Accessed by a long drive shared only with one neighbour. The garage and private parking area are located to the right of the house as you approach the property.
Internal accommodation currently arranged as;
Ground floor - sitting room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom 4 with ensuite loo
First floor - three double bedrooms, bathroom and dressing room
The property has a generous rear plot which faces directly south and is divided into two unequal portions, the upper part of which was added to the property at a later date and once formed part of the designated playground area for Oriel Grove. The lower garden is immediately behind the house whereas the upper garden is positioned more behind the parking area at a slightly higher level. When our clients first purchased the property, they were informed outline planning permission had been obtained for building on the upper garden but, since many years have elapsed since then, any future potential will require new applications. Alternatively, the upper garden would be a fabulous spot for a home office, annexe or outbuilding.
