Accomodation
St Thomas Church was built at about 1857 by Samuel S Teulon, a prominent Victorian Architect with an adjacent vicarage. He also designed St Thomas Terrace which was completed in 1868 and given Grade II listing in 1988.The terrace is within it's own walled gardens with a drive entrance from North Road. This leads into the individually owned parking areas and a gravelled path leads to the pathway which runs in front of all the houses. No. 3 is a delightful mid-terrace Victorian house which is presented to an exceptionally high standard. The house retains its period character and style with beautiful Victorian Gothic windows, stained and painted floorboards and stairs and original cast iron fireplaces. These are complemented by gas central heating and a contemporary well fitted kitchen and a modern shower room.

The front door opens into a hallway with the staircase and understairs cupboard. A door opens into the sitting room which overlooks the garden and has a fireplace with side alcoves. Next to it is a dining room with 2 door openings, a window overlooking the courtyard and a fireplace.It's worth noting that other similar houses have created an archway between these 2 reception rooms to create one larger room.

The kitchen has a quarry tiled floor and has been totally refitted with an excellent range of fitted floor and wall units with worksurfaces, sink unit and tiled splashbacks. Integral appliances include a double oven incorporating a microwave, a 4 ring gas hob with an extractor above, a fridge and separate freezer. There is also space for a small breakfast table. An arched fully glazed door opens into a utility room again with a quarry tiled floor. Here is a further sink unit and fitted cupboards together with space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer.. A door opens into a cloakroom with a wc and basin and a stable door opens to the rear courtyard.

First Floor
Painted stairs lead to the first floor landing which has loft access.Again it's worth noting that in the adjacent similar house a large room has been created in the loft area.The landing gives access to 3 bedrooms and a shower room.Two of the bedrooms retain their fireplaces and are double size rooms whilst the third is a smaller room but is still a good size.The shower room is well equipped with floor and wall tiling, a hand basin, wc and a large shower cubicle.

Cellar
From the hall a flight of stairs leads down to two cellar rooms which currently provide a workshop and storage area.
