DESCRIPTION The subject of much renovation and improvement over the past five years, this double-fronted granite cottage has retained plenty of quirkiness to satisfy those wanting a charming home on a quiet, traffic-free terrace near the town centre. Through the porch and its beautiful panelled, stain glass door lies the ground floor to this cottage. To either side of the entrance hall are two equally delightful reception rooms with an abundance of very well-looked after original features. The sitting room on the left boasts a granite fireplace with woodburner, exposed beams, and picture rails, while the reading room across the hall has original cabinetry and built-in storage cupboards surrounding a multifuel stove on a slate hearth and painted floorboards. Both reception rooms, like the cottage as a whole benefit from uPVC double glazed sash windows and the beautiful original stripped doors. To the rear of the cottage, is a bright, modern kitchen/diner created by the current vendors - a thoroughly practical and inviting room that has access out to the rear garden and rooflights that fill the kitchen with natural light. Off the kitchen is the first of three bathrooms with a handy utility/laundry area and walk-in shower enclosure. To the first floor are two good-size double bedrooms; the master boasting an ensuite bathroom and sea glimpses. There is a third bedroom to the rear, as well as a further shower room - all accessed off an undeniably quirky landing that has a sunpipe to bring natural light in brilliantly. To the rear is an enclosed garden area currently laid to patio with plentiful pots and some planting to borders that leads up some steps again to a tarmac driveway/parking area that offers electric vehicle charging. Off the parking area is a single garage with mains power. The lawned front garden is also enclosed and benefits from afternoon and evening sunshine. The property has five solar panels, owned by the property that reduce energy bills and generate an income via a feed-in tariff.
