Elegant townhouse with period features in abundance and generous accommodation over four floors. Updating required and wonderful potential.

OVERVIEW   Within level walking distance of the town centre, station and amenities, 3 Windermere Road is an elegant double fronted townhouse with a wealth of period features waiting to be rediscovered.

In the same ownership for nearly 70 years, this much loved home has proved to be perfect for families with space for everyone.

The accommodation is over four levels - two light filled reception rooms are at the front plus there is a kitchen diner and a wetroom on the ground floor.

Three generous double bedrooms and an attic bedroom mean there is plenty of options for occupants and visitors, the front facing bedrooms have a lovely view towards Fellside across trees and Maudes Meadow.

Externally, there is a courtyard and a useful outhouse perfect for DIY tools and bikes.

Completing the picture are four cellar rooms with scope for storage, hobbies or additional accommodation (subject to relevant consents).

ACCOMMODATION   A traditional forecourt with neatly clipped hedges and central pathway leads up to the modern front door and into the hallway.

The period features begin to reveal themselves, setting the tone for the rest of the property. Embossed wallpaper adds texture and the eye is drawn towards the impressive staircase towards the rear.

The two reception rooms both lead off from this initial space - both ideal for relaxing, entertaining and TV watching. The larger of the two has a brick fireplace with grate for an open fire.

-   The kitchen is accessed from the rear of the hallway - a good sized room fitted with cream shaker style units, dark worktops and a stainless steel sink.

The traditional two ring/two oven Aga is a lovely feature - it is gas powered and also heats the hot water.

Ideal for hobbies, storage or further conversion (subject to consents), the cellar is a real bonus.

-   Ascending the stairs to the first floor, pause to look up at the lovely circular stained glass lantern above.

The sweeping period handrail has a wonderful patina and continues onto the galleried landing.

The third double is at the rear with two built in wardrobes and wall mounted Ideal boiler. Competing the first floor is a fully tiled bathroom fitted with a traditional coloured three piece suite.

-   The attic bedroom is the final room within this generous home. Running the width of the house, there are three rooflights and three built in double wardrobes.

Exposed beams add character and there is access to eaves storage and inspection areas.

-   Externally, the pretty forecourt at the front is in keeping with the period of the house and neighbouring properties.
