Charming Victorian Cottage with Modern Flair – Gallowstree Common

In the sought-after village of Gallowstree Common, this beautifully extended four-bedroom semi-detached Victorian cottage blends timeless character with contemporary comfort. Enjoy a peaceful village lifestyle, minutes from excellent transport links-ideal for families, professionals or anyone seeking a spacious retreat.

Enter via a charming, recessed porch into a welcoming living room with cosy log burner. At the heart is a bright 17ft kitchen/breakfast room, perfect for daily living and entertaining. A stunning 21ft triple-aspect sitting room is bathed in natural light with bi-fold doors to the rear garden and an open fireplace for year-round gatherings. A separate study with bespoke cabinetry provides the ideal home office or creative space.
Upstairs, the generous principal bedroom offers dual-aspect windows and a large en-suite, while three further doubles and a stylish family bathroom accommodate family and guests. Period features-original fireplaces, stripped floors, solid wood doors with iron latches-sit alongside modern upgrades including aluminium double glazing and gas central heating.
Outdoor Living

Double wooden five-bar gates lead to a spacious gravel driveway framed by granite edging. The private, mature garden is landscaped and mainly laid to lawn, creating a peaceful haven for relaxation or play. A detached garage and two versatile outbuildings provide excellent storage or potential conversion into a workshop, gym or studio.

Successful buyers will be required to complete anti-money laundering and proof of funds checks. Our partner, Lifetime Legal Limited, will carry out the initial checks on our behalf. The current non-refundable cost is £80 inc. VAT per offer. You’ll need to pay this to Lifetime Legal and complete all checks before we can issue a memorandum of sale. The cost includes obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required, and includes a range of benefits. Purplebricks will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in providing these checks.
