Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home isn't the typical Plum affair and lacks a few amenities that some may see as essentials. No microwave, dishwasher or laundry facilities to be precise. If you can see past this, then this eclectic urban cottage could be a great fit for you. It's incredibly well-sized for two people and the kitchen, up-cycled from old butcher worktops, and a large garden, make it a unique spot. While the cottage has old bones, it's been finished to a high standard, with modern touches such as the underfloor heating, which will come in handy given the reputation of Britain's weather.
