King Street

Beyond, the kitchen introduces a more contemporary note. Ink-blue cabinetry paired with leather handles and crisp quartz worktops creates a considered palette; classic in tone, modern in execution. Integrated appliances – a dishwasher, induction hob and electric oven – are neatly arranged, with space for a fridge/freezer, while the plan flows naturally through to the rear of the house. The bathroom sits at ground floor level, well appointed with a bath and overhead shower, vanity storage and a separate utility cupboard providing discreet housing for laundry appliances.

Upstairs, two generous bedrooms unfold, with simple lines and wooden floors, offering calm, adaptable spaces that can evolve with changing needs. Each room shaped by light and proportion rather than excess.

Outside, the rear garden is deliberately low maintenance: a block-paved terrace giving way to gravel, raised beds and mature planting. A striking ceanothus tree anchors the scheme, softening the boundary and bringing seasonal colour. To the front, a gated lawned garden sits behind a low wall and shared pathway, contributing to the familiar rhythm of this historic street.

As is often the case with cottages of this era, there is a neighbour’s right of way across the rear garden – a small reminder that these homes were built for community as much as privacy.

Offered with no upper chain, this is a house that understands its scale and place. Built for Victorian town life, it now offers something increasingly rare: simplicity, walkability and the chance to live lightly within the fabric of the town; not on its edge, but right at its heart.
