The Property - With good size accommodation typical of the era, this lovely Victorian terrace house is well placed within easy reach of both the town centre facilities and local countryside. The kitchen, family bathroom and downstairs WC have been tastefully updated in a contemporary style and those who enjoy cooking and entertaining will love the particularly well-appointed kitchen with its range of appliances.
Accommodation - A traditional storm porch opens into the entrance hall where there's a useful understairs area and small built-in cupboard. The dining room and sitting room are almost open-plan letting the southerly light from the large bay window flow through into the dining area where there is ample room for a good size table along with other furniture. The house is well-placed along the street being one of the few that enjoys the more open aspect over adjacent gardens across the street and therefore making the most of the views across town towards the countryside beyond. A Minsterstone fireplace with gas fire creates a nice cosy focal point.
From the hallway steps lead up to a fabulous kitchen / breakfast room - practical for a family and a lovely sociable space with room for a table for more informal dining. It overlooks the garden at the rear and has been refitted with a range of stylish warm grey contemporary units comprising extensive floor and wall mounted cupboards incorporating 4 NEFF ovens including a combi / microwave and steam oven perfect for bakers. Alongside is a large NEFF induction hob with stainless steel extractor, as well as integrated recycling / bin unit and dishwasher. The vendor is also intending to include the washing machine and freestanding fridge / freezer. Finished with fitted shelving, lighting and TV point it's a practical and sociable kitchen for keen cooks and families. An adjoining utility area offers useful extra storage and room for an additional appliance such as a freestanding freezer. The freestanding tumble dryer can also be included in the sale. To one side is a neat and tidy, well appointed downstairs cloakroom.
On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, with a particularly spacious main bedroom at the front enjoying far reaching views. There's a useful separate WC off the landing, as well as a stylish family bathroom with separate shower cubicle finished in neutral tones.
On the second floor, the attic is accessible by a wooden steps and is boarded out with velux windows and under eaves storage. Used historically as a hobby room / studio space, it offers scope for creation of a fourth bedroom subject to the necessary consents and alterations.
Outside - The pleasant garden at the rear enjoys a good level of sunshine thanks to its slightly elevated position, with a shadier courtyard closest to the house including an outside tap and steps leading up onto a traditional lawn with flower borders. There is also a useful timber garden shed. A rear gate leads onto a shared pedestrian access track running along the rear of the terrace.
