The House...
A charming four bedroom character cottage, extending to approximately 1,270 sq ft, situated on a popular, established residential road within a convenient distance to the town centre and mainline station.

The property has been owned by the current family for 27 years, which is a true testament to both the house and its location. The accommodation is well proportioned and spread over three floors and the ground floor comprises of an entrance hall with understairs cloakroom, an inviting sitting room with log burner and 18ft kitchen/diner.

Across the rear of the house is a superb and most imaginatively designed extension (2007) which has created a fantastic split level family room. The kitchen/diner leads to a wrap around ‘mezzanine’ level with steps leading down to the lower level which has ‘French’ doors opening on to the garden. This lower level combined with the vaulted ceiling & three' rain sensor velux’ windows, results in excellent volume providing a truly light, airy space. There are also deep storage areas under the mezzanine floor.

On the first floor the central landing leads to three well proportioned double bedrooms and the family bathroom with white suite & overhead ‘Mira sport max’ shower.

The loft space was converted in 2002 to create an impressive master bedroom on the second floor. This triple aspect room extends to 16’9 max x 14’9 max. There is scope for installing an en-suite, if required.

Further attributes include gas fired central heating, double glazed windows, smart oak internal doors and hardwired smoke detector system.

Outside...
The rear garden enjoys a favoured westerly aspect, providing afternoon/evening sun and pleasant green outlook – a benefit many properties on this side of the road do not enjoy. The garden is laid mainly to lawn with established borders. There is a patio immediately adjacent to the house providing an area for barbecues and two sheds. To the side is a driveway providing off road parking for several vehicles.

There is also a small area of garden to the front.

Scope/Potential
In our opinion, there is also plenty of scope for further extension, if required. Some neighbouring properties have extended to the side and/or added a dormer extension in the loft to create even more space. This would of course be subject to gaining any required planning consents.
