Accommodation Summary

Entrance Hall, Open Plan Kitchen/Dining/Family Room, Lounge, Sitting Room, Five Bedrooms, Bathroom and Shower Room.

Accommodation

The ground floor layout works perfectly for family living; to the rear of the building is the open plan kitchen/dining/family room; a really social space which connects directly to the garden. The kitchen itself is fitted with a good range of farmhouse style units whilst the dining/family area boasts a large bay window overlooking the garden and a cosy log burning stove. On the opposite side of the hall is the sizeable lounge; this room enjoys plenty of light thanks to the large deep sill windows to the front and there is also an external door giving access off Black Bull Street if desired, although rarely used by the current vendors.

The turned staircase leads to the first floor accommodation. Extending off the landing to the front of the building is the sitting room, ideal perhaps as a more formal living space but again offering great flexibility depending on preference. As with the lounge, this room also has large front facing windows and a lovely feature fireplace which currently houses an electric flame effect stove; there was previously an open coal fire in this room which could easily be reinstated or indeed a further wood burning stove installed if desired. There are two bedrooms at this level, each with a lovely aspect over the garden below and both are served by the contemporary, recently refitted bathroom.

The staircase between the first and second floor features a lovely stained glass window with the landing giving access to three further bedrooms; a sizeable double room to the front with a dormer window affording a roof top view of the town and two further double rooms towards the rear, each with an original cast iron fireplace. A well appointed shower room on this level serves these three bedrooms.

External

The partially walled garden area to the rear is really sheltered and enjoys a good degree of privacy. Nicely presented with a paved patio area and neat lawn with planted borders; this garden is perfect for those seeking some outside space without too much maintenance and the orientation is such that is gets the sun for much of the day. A pedestrian gate allows access from the side of the building and timber shed provides good storage.
