The accommodation is accessed via an entrance vestibule leading into a hallway, which also provides access to the cellar. A turning staircase with the original bannister rises to the first floor landing, where a tall arched window allows natural light to flood the space.
The principal reception rooms are arranged across the first floor. To the front, a spacious sitting room features twin sash windows, creating a bright and inviting living area. The dining room, positioned between the sitting room and kitchen, provides a versatile space ideally suited to both entertaining and everyday use. The kitchen is fitted in a galley style and includes a door opening onto a timber-decked terrace, which in turn leads down to the main garden.
On the second floor, the property offers two bedrooms and a generous bathroom. Both bedrooms feature sash windows, while the principal bedroom provides ample space for wardrobes and additional furnishings.
Externally, the maisonette is further enhanced by a sizeable and secluded garden. Predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by mature shrubs and a pond, the garden is enclosed by natural stone walling, offering a high degree of privacy and a rare green retreat in the centre of town.
In summary, this property represents an excellent opportunity to purchase a characterful home in a highly convenient location. With a private garden, large cellar and a number of period features, it offers a combination of charm and practicality seldom available in this setting.
