Property description
This is a substantial and appealing older town house, occupying a prominent elevated position on the fringe of the town, literally within a few moments walk of the main town centre and all amenities.
With mature terraced gardens to front and surprisingly large secluded and mature gardens to rear, the property combines this convenient town location with an almost rural feel, particularly to the rear.
The property offers versatile accommodation over three floors with a basement room under, currently used as a small gymnasium with shower and toilet facilities. Historically, the accommodation has been used for room letting, with the owner occupying the attic suite, hence most rooms, including the lounge and study, have ensuite facilities.
The accommodation is served by gas fired central heating, complimented by double glazing, the majority of which is UPVC framed. In line with the previous usage, there is a comprehensive fire alarm system within the property.
There is a driveway alongside leading to the rear providing a parking hardstanding area for numerous vehicles. The main rear gardens are elevated with steps approach from the parking area and an ingenious timber decked elevated walkway from the first floor giving a level approach to the garden.
Combining this property's prominent position, large and versatile accommodation, and parking, it could well suit the larger family, potential for dual family occupation, or those seeking a home with income potential, perhaps via bed and breakfast or room letting.
The following room description and accompanying floorplans will give some indication to the accommodation, though the property can only really be appreciated by a personal viewing appraisal, early appointments for which are advised.
