Property description
THE PROPERTY This wonderfully situated natural stone detached family house has considerable character and probably enjoys one of the best locations in the town.
The property has been completely renovated and improved over recent years and now consists of entrance porch into entrance hall with staircase to landing. The lounge has a feature fireplace housing a log burner. There is an extremely impressive kitchen/dining room with a range of Shaker style units on an Italian sandstone floor and double French doors lead out into a handsome dwarf walled Edwardian style conservatory. There is a useful rear hall/boot room/utility which provides access to the shower/cloakroom complete with steam cabinet. At first floor level the excellent landing provides a useful office space. There are three double bedrooms with a very pleasant open aspect to the two at the front, and the family bathroom has a Heritage style white suite. A second staircase leads up to the master bedroom, complete with shower room, with lots of Velux windows affording the views from both the front and rear.
A detached garage stands to one side of the property, and to the other side there is ample space to park several cars. There is sufficient space for an extension to be built to the side of the house if required, subject to planning constraints.
The property has the benefit of gas fired central heating with a modern boiler, replacement cream coloured double glazing, damp proof coursing and timber treatments have been carried out and it has been largely re-plumbed and rewired. All internal doors are stripped and waxed. A significant feature of the house is its large rear garden which includes a summerhouse and offers an excellent degree of seclusion.
