About
A very attractive, four double bedroom semi-detached property, sitting on a generous, walled south facing garden plot, in the highly desirable Castle Quarter with no upper chain.
Highlights include recently stripped and stained floors, a refitted kitchen and large four piece bathroom.
There is original cornicing, picture rails, sash windows, fireplaces, an arch with corbels and stripped doors.
To the front an enclosed walled front garden with gate lead to the front door up a black and red tiled pathway. The entrance hall is a good size with both reception rooms leading off.
The sitting room is to the front on the house with a bay window and marble fireplace. A comfortable proportion room with plenty of original details.
The living room is directly behind with French doors to the side return garden, fireplace and built in cupboards in the alcove.
There is a storage cupboard under the stairs and then a cloakroom with storage cupboard opposite. At the back of the house is the kitchen dining room.
A large space with three side windows and French doors to the covered terrace. The kitchen has navy blue fronted cabinets in a shaker style with wooden worktops.
There are pretty tiles around the induction hob and a butler sink with window to gaze away the washing up. Built in dishwasher, double oven and plenty of storage.
On the first floor the main bedroom is at the front of the house with two lovely sash windows for plenty of natural light.
There are built in wardrobes and cupboards to one wall providing a mass of storage.
Bedroom two and three are also doubles on this floor and there is a large four piece bathroom with freestanding bath and shower cubicle.
The washing machine is away from the kitchen in a laundry room to contain the noise.
On the top floor, bedroom four, a loft conversion with two Velux windows providing southerly light, two eaves storage cupboards and slightly restricted head height as the roof line slopes.
Outside the rear garden has gated side access, shared with the neighbour. A surprise in size with nearly 70' of south facing garden space.
There is a patio area close to the house which is covered for all year useage. There is astro turf with a step half way down the garden. Planted borders and a high degree of privacy.
Located at the town end of Castle Road with The Embankment two roads back and the High Street a short walk away.
The local area boasts a wonderful community spirit and is highly regarded for its amenities.
