Property description
THE PROPERTY This beautifully presented Grade II Listed double fronted town house enjoys a prime position looking out onto The Green in the heart of the town and within an easy level walk of all the local shops. Set back from the road and with a most attractive south facing walled rear garden, this comprehensively refurbished, well-appointed home consists briefly of entrance vestibule into an excellent sized living room with exposed ceiling beams and a natural stone feature fireplace housing a multi fuel stove. A central rear hall then leads past an office/study on the left with double French doors onto the rear garden, and a utility room on the right with a flagstone floor. At the back of the house and also with views into the garden is a very pretty kitchen/breakfast room with a range of cream Shaker style units of base cupboards and drawers, Belfast sink with beech block work surfaces and a flagstone floor.
Below the main reception room are two cellars, whilst staircases lead up from either end of the reception room to the first floor which has two good sized inter connecting bedrooms, both of which have adjacent bathrooms. Staircases then lead up either side of the building to the second floor with two more impressive double bedrooms with exposed beams, and windows to the front overlooking The Green.
Included in the owners restoration programme over the last 9 years has been the installation of two new bathroom suites, refitting the kitchen, new wiring and plumbing and gas fired central heating system. The walled south facing rear garden has been designed for the minimum of maintenance and therefore maximum enjoyment and relaxation and has a colourful variety of flowers and shrubs within its borders.
