An opportunity to acquire a really interesting, individual detached, period home located close to the heart of the town and within easy walking distance of the wealth of amenities making it ideal for those wanting ease of access to local services, perfect as a downsize dwelling or for single or professional couples.
The original part of the property is understood to date back to the 1800s and offers a wealth of character and features with many rooms affording exposed beams, a feature fireplace to the main sitting room and attractive pitched ceilings to the first floor.
The accommodation is particularly versatile in it's layout, approaching 1,100 sq.ft. and comprising an initial, enclosed entrance hall which leads through into a breakfast kitchen with attractive, part vaulted ceiling and exposed timbers and southerly aspect into the courtyard garden. An inner hallway leads to a useful utility/cloak room and, in turn, the main reception which is a generous space large enough to accommodate both a living and dining area. Adjacent to the living room is a versatile space currently utilised as a ground floor double bedroom but could make an additional reception.
To the first floor there are two further bedrooms, one of which has been subdivided to create an additional walk through room which would be relatively straightforward to return back to one single bedroom. In addition there is a good sized bath/shower room.
As well as the internal accommodation, located off the courtyard garden, is a really useful "studio space" converted from an original brick workshop which has been insulated to create a useable space and has been utilised as an occasional office or reception. However as it doesn't have full building certification it can't be considered as permanent accommodation but creates a useful and versatile space.
The property occupies a low maintenance plot with a pleasant, enclosed, courtyard garden which benefits from a southerly aspect and, to the northerly side of the property, is a parking area which would be suitable for one vehicle.
Overall, this is a really interesting, individual home with viewing coming highly recommended to appreciate both the accommodation and also it's convenient location.
