Summary
A charming and deceptively spacious 19th-century railway worker's cottage, offering characterful accommodation arranged over three floors. Featuring a country style kitchen, a dining room overlooking the attractive rear garden, and a lounge centred around a wood burning stove. Further benefits include a recently re-tiled roof. Situated in the sought after village of Blackwell, the property enjoys a peaceful semi rural setting while remaining conveniently close to the larger neighbouring village of Barnt Green, with its excellent local amenities and transport links.

Description
The property is entered via the front door into a welcoming and generous south east facing lounge, offering ample space for seating as well as a practical area by the entrance for coats and shoes. A charming wood burning stove creates an attractive focal point.

A traditional latch door leads through to the country style kitchen, fitted with a Belfast sink, oak worktops, integrated oven and hob, and space for a fridge/freezer. Double glazed doors open into the dining room, a bright and versatile space overlooking the rear garden, with double doors providing direct access outside and creating an ideal setting for entertaining and everyday family living.

The staircase to the upper floors is accessed from the lounge behind a latch door. On the first floor, the landing serves two well proportioned double bedrooms, both offering space for wardrobes, together with a family bathroom.

A staircase rises to the second floor loft conversion, currently arranged as a home office but equally suited as a third bedroom. This versatile room benefits from a Velux window and useful built-in storage cupboard.

Outside
The rear garden extends to approximately 23 metres (75 ft) in length and enjoys a pleasant, established feel. A paved patio seating area adjoins the property, with steps leading through planted borders to a long lawn and a garden shed positioned at the far end. A locked side gate provides access to a shared passageway, offering a practical route for bin storage and the removal of garden waste etc.

To the front, the property is set behind a small landscaped area incorporating lawned and planted areas, with a pathway leading to the entrance. On road parking is readily available along Linthurst Newtown.
