Offered to the market for the first time in over sixty years, Rose Cottage is a charming period home dating back to the 1860s and available with the added benefit of vacant possession. Rich in character, the property features a beautiful brick-built open fireplace, wooden ceiling beams, and well-proportioned rooms throughout.

Ideally positioned toward the end of a quiet no-through road, the cottage enjoys a convenient location within walking distance of Shirley’s vibrant high street, the city centre, and the central railway station. A wide range of local shops, cafés, bars, and schools catering for all ages are also close by.

The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hallway with useful built-in storage, a practical lean-to utility area, a welcoming sitting room to the front of the home, and a separate dining room-perfect for family meals and entertaining. To the rear, there is a generously sized family bathroom, a well-appointed kitchen, and a good-sized conservatory overlooking the rear garden.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three double bedrooms, with one bedroom accessed directly from bedroom two. The generous proportions of bedroom two provide the potential to create a temporary inner landing, if desired.

Externally, the property benefits from ample off-road parking on the driveway and a generously sized, private, enclosed rear garden. Flat, child- and pet-friendly, this outdoor space is ideal for relaxation and social gatherings alike.
