A most charming semi-detached home with driveway parking, occupying a sought-after private road setting just minutes on foot from the town's vibrant High Street.

Externally, the house is enveloped by its attractive gardens which are plentifully stocked with cottage style planting and encompass a sheltered west-facing terrace, ideal for relaxed summer entertaining.
A useful outbuilding with power provides useful storage as well as potential to establish a detached workspace, whilst the driveway accommodates two cars.
