A wonderful opportunity to purchase an attractive Grade II Listed period cottage situated in a highly sought after street within a short walk of the town centre amenities. We believe the property dates back to the late 18th Century and has been tastefully extended to provide a delightful home with generous living accommodation.
The front door opens to a long welcoming entrance hall. Immediately to your left is a well proportioned sitting room with a stone fireplace as its centrepiece. To the right of the hallway there is a cosy snug featuring an inglenook fireplace with bressummer beam and wood burning stove. The kitchen has a sociable layout with space for a large table ideal for family meals. There is a good range of units and a former inglenook being the perfect size for a range style cooker. A door connects to a large conservatory providing a light and airy room to sit and relax whilst enjoying an outlook over the garden. Completing the ground floor is the convenience of a cloakroom and utility room.
Moving upstairs, there is a large family bathroom and four bedrooms with the master bedroom being a particular feature with an arched window providing a delightful view over the garden. The doors throughout the house are of solid oak.
The garden is a true delight being of a generous size with mature shrubs and plants providing interest and colour throughout the year. An insulated summer house offers the potential for homeworking, or simply a retreat to enjoy the peace and quiet of the garden. There is access to a large single garage/workshop to the rear of the garden.
