The property is set at the
Norfolk Street end of Gwydir St, close to the shops, yet is just a
short walk from the cosmopolitan Mill Road area, or the Grafton

cycling distance.
Percy Cottage is set behind a
neat front garden retained by ornamental railings. The front door
opens into an elegant and welcoming hallway with the staircase
leading up to the first floor. There are three reception areas all
of which are generously proportioned; the sitting room to the front
is cosy and has a fireplace and beautiful cornicing, and this opens
to a formal dining room which has doors out to a small private
terraced area. To the far end of the ground floor, there is a
bright living room which has a roof light and west facing patio
doors which flood the room with natural light. This room could be
used for a variety of purposes but is currently used as a dining
and sitting room.
The kitchen is set between
the hall and the living room and is a wide, galley type kitchen
fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted cabinets set above
and below the working surfaces. There is a built in double oven, a
hob with extractor over and space for a washing machine, dishwasher
and upright fridge freezer. On the ground floor, there is also a
bathroom fitted with a bath, w.c. and vanity unit with an inset
hand basin.
The first floor
landing opens to a family bathroom and three of the four
bedrooms. There is a lovely bright double bedroom to the front of
the house with fitted cupboards and a pair of traditional rise and
fall sash windows that flood the room with natural light. The
second double has a fitted cupboard, a shelved recess and a pretty
rise and fall sash window, and there is a third smaller single
room, which is dual aspect and enjoys lots of natural light. The
bathroom on this level is fitted with a bath, w.c. and hand
basin.
On the second floor, there is a further double bedroom with a
modern en suite fitted with a shower, w.c., hand basin and roof
light.
Outside there is a west facing garden that enjoys the best of
the afternoon and evening sunshine. There is a terrace adjacent to
the house and a lovely brick outbuilding, beyond which there is an
area of lawn with trees and mature shrub borders. At the far end,
there is an attractive brick wall and a pedestrian right of way
that gives access around the adjacent property and back onto Gwydir
St.
The property also has a basement which has a reasonable height
ceiling and a window. This is currently used for storage but could
provide further potential.
Residents parking permits are available to purchase in this
area.
