Property description
THE PROPERTY Number 1 Market Place is an extremely versatile and deceptively spacious, individual Period town house with retail accommodation and established Visit England 4 Star Silver Bed and Breakfast business, and all within a quiet but central position in the heart of the town centre.
The property commences with a double fronted shop (of some 497 sq feet) which is believed to have plumbing in one corner for a cloakroom, and which currently trades as a 'top end' chocolateer and card shop together with café serving tea, coffee, cakes and sandwiches.
The shop is very versatile and could be used for a range of retail businesses. From here there is access to the inner hall which has a staircase to the main landing plus a cloakroom, plus a staircase to a very attractive first floor sitting room or for fifth bedroom. Back on the ground floor the main lounge has a superb Inglenook fireplace housing a log burner and twin sets of French doors onto the courtyard garden. This in turn leads through to the kitchen/dining room with an impressive range of Winchmore bespoke units and 10ft wide patio doors onto the courtyard garden.
At first floor level, the double aspect bedroom at the front of the building has an en-suite cloakroom and adjacent shower room, there is an attractive twin room (bedroom three) at the back of the house with adjacent full bathroom, and a staircase from the first floor landing leads up to a study area at second floor landing level which in turn provides access to two further bedrooms, the latest one created into the roof space with an impressive walk-in wardrobe and dressing room. Here there is also a second bathroom, and the fourth bedroom is a very attractive double room with exposed beams in the vaulted ceiling.
The property has the benefit of a gas fired radiator central heating system, a very useful cellar, previously mentioned courtyard garden plus an amazing roof terrace above the kitchen/dining room which makes the most of the sunshine throughout the day.
DIRECTIONS From our office in the centre of town the property is easily reached on foot by walking across the road under the Market Hall where no 1 Market Place will be seen in front of you slightly to the right.
