Property description

Of great intrigue and much charm, an individual older style detached house offering true family sized accommodation and 4 car spaces handily placed for the town centre, water meadows and both pedestrian and road routes.

Description
The roll call of accommodation includes 4 bedrooms, 2 bath/shower rooms and 3 reception rooms centred on an impressive and versatile 26' long kitchen. A utility room, cloakroom, hall and porch, invaluable on-site parking and a good sized garden complete the complement. Believed to date from the early part of the Twentieth Century, this multiple gabled house has been enlarged, enhanced and improved over the years. Notable also for its sheer size, characteristics include exposed floorboards, a bay window, open fireplace, stripped pine doors consistent with the era of the house and 6 rooms enjoying at least two aspects. The present owners improvement programme has included the refitting of the kitchen, bathroom and shower room, together with the creation of the family room. Heating is via a gas system with radiators and there is also part double glazing. This represents a marvellous opportunity to acquire a family home also ideal for entertaining with its garden offering privacy unusual for a home so easily accessible to the town's major facilities.
