Keating Close, Lawford, CO11

Set on a peaceful corner of Keating Close in Lawford, this one-bedroom terraced home feels like a hidden gem — compact yet full of charm, smartly updated, and cleverly laid out to make the most of every inch. As you approach, the property sits tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac, with a green open outlook and a sense of privacy that’s rare in homes of this size. A handy full-height store sits just to the side of the front door, ideal for bikes, bins or tools, and could easily be integrated into a private garden space with a bit of fencing if desired.

Stepping through the front door, you’re greeted by a small entrance hall with the bathroom just to your right. Straight ahead, glazed French doors invite you into the open-plan living space, and the first thing you’ll notice is the ceiling, soaring up to a vaulted apex, it creates a real sense of airiness that sets this home apart. The large, full-height window looks out to the greenery beyond, flooding the room with soft natural light and giving you a peaceful view from the sofa. A striking gas fired stove sits neatly beneath the chimney breast, complete with a sleek black flue that rises up towards the rafters, giving the space both warmth and character. The soft grey carpet underfoot adds comfort, while the clean white walls give a fresh, neutral backdrop that suits almost any style of décor. The open timber staircase leads up to the mezzanine above, and the space beneath could easily be fitted with storage or left open to keep the layout feeling generous.

Just off the living room, the kitchen has been designed with both function and style in mind. Glossy white cabinets with chrome handles line three sides of the room in a practical U-shape, offering a surprising amount of storage and plenty of workspace for cooking. The tiled splashbacks wrap around in a smart grey tone, complementing the wood-effect worktops and keeping things feeling clean and cohesive. There’s a freestanding electric cooker with an oven and four-ring hob, plus a washing machine already in place — a simple but well-planned space that’s ideal for everyday use.

Back through the living area and up the stairs, the mezzanine bedroom overlooks the space below and captures the same light, open feeling thanks to the vaulted ceiling and a large Velux-style window. The room is neatly finished with the same soft grey carpet and white walls, making it feel calm and restful. A large built-in wardrobe with mirrored sliding doors spans one wall, providing excellent storage while also reflecting light around the room. There’s a lovely sense of privacy despite the open layout, and with the balustrade framing the edge, it feels stylish and connected rather than closed off. This space works beautifully as a bedroom but could just as easily double up as a home office, reading nook, or creative studio, anywhere you want to feel inspired.

The bathroom, accessed off the entrance hallway, is simple but well presented, with a clean and modern design. Soft beige tiles line the walls around the bath and basin, and a pale blue feature wall adds a splash of personality without overwhelming the space. The suite includes a full-length bath with a mixer shower, a pedestal basin with a floating glass shelf and mirror, and a modern close-coupled WC. Everything you need, tucked away in a compact footprint, and all finished to a good standard.

This is a home that surprises. It's not just the layout that makes it feel bigger than you'd expect, it’s the height, the light, and the clever use of space. Whether you’re curling up by the fire, working from home on the mezzanine, or enjoying the view through that big picture window, it’s a property that feels calm, considered and just a little bit different. There’s no onward chain to worry about, and with residents’ parking outside and the shops and train station just a short walk away, it’s a spot that balances privacy with convenience. A genuinely unique opportunity for anyone looking to get onto the ladder or downsize in style.
