The Property

It still retains many of its original features to include, exposed timbers and curved sash windows. Stepping through the front door you are welcomed by the spacious entrance hallway with its high ceiling and fine staircase which ascends to the first floor. Beneath the staircase is a useful storage cupboard, perfect for hoovers, coats and boots. To your right is the sitting room, the focal point of this room is a feature fireplace which has a marble surround and pamment tiled hearth. The room has original floorboards and a large sash bay window to front aspect. From here you make your way back into the entrance hallway and into the kitchen/diner. Having recently been completed, the kitchen is a lovely bright room with a fully fitted selection of units. The built in appliances include an eye-level double oven, four ring hob, dishwasher and a inset sink. The room has pamment tiled floors, inset spotlights, a curved sash window and plenty of space for a dining table. Beyond the kitchen is a utility room with a butler sink, further storage cupboards and a stable style door leading out into the courtyard. This room used to originally be the kitchen and benefits from plumbing for a washing machine, space for further appliances and could be transformed to accommodate a downstairs cloakroom. As you climb the stairs to the first floor you will find a large square landing with a number of useful storage cupboards. All three bedrooms are accessed directly off the landing with the smallest single directly to the right hand side. The further two bedrooms are good sized doubles, one to the front and the other to the rear of the house. The master bedroom is to the rear and has a refitted en-suite bathroom comprising a low level wc, hand wash basin and bath with shower over. The room is partially tiled with a fixed heated towel rail. Bedroom two has a sash window to the front aspect, with views onto King Street, a feature fireplace and a cleverly designed en-suite, which has recently been installed. The en-suite wet room comprises an electric power shower, low level wc and hand wash basin. The room has been finished to a high standard with sandstone tiles, a heated towel rail but yet retains many of the original exposed beams.
The property has recently been re-wired and benefits from secondary glazing, in part to the first floor.
