Property description

THE PROPERTY With Elizabethan origins, this historic three bedroomed cottage in the heart of the town has recently been granted planning permission to be separated from its larger neighbour York House and therefore requires some conversion works including two staircases to become a charming centrally situated home of considerable character.



The house is Grade II Listed and has a very pleasant south east facing walled courtyard garden with a useful entrance courtyard to the side giving direct access to the courtyard from the street. From here a door leads into the entrance hall with steps down through a trapdoor into an excellent size cellar under the front sitting room, it is envisaged that a staircase will lead up from the dining hall to the first floor. Beyond the dining hall is an attractive kitchen/breakfast room with the door out into the courtyard, and another into the utility room. At first floor level the property has two very pleasant bedrooms and two bathrooms and a new staircase will be required which will lead into a third double bedroom on the top floor.



The cottage has the benefit of gas fired radiator central heating, and an early appointment to view is strongly recommended.

 

DIRECTIONS From our office in the centre of town the property is easily reached on foot by walking under the Market Hall, past the Post Office, round the corner to the right into Silver Street and Chapel House will be seen after a few yards on the left.
