Accommodation
Entry is from Charlotte Street, just up from Commercial Street, the front door opening to a lobby with a handy recess for coats, boots, etc., a tiled floor and an inner door to a carpeted hall leading to the kitchen and living room and also the door to the basement, a further recess behind the door providing further space for coats. A carpeted stair with an original banister leads up to the first floor.
The kitchen / dining room is a particularly attractive space with a window looking out over the yard area, the room being laid with a tiled floor, the ceiling being clad with stripped and varnished pine. There is space for a table & chairs, a built-in cupboard off the dining area providing storage and also housing the District Heating unit, the dining area being lit by a fishermen’s style lantern light fitting. The well-equipped fitted kitchen has units in a cream finish set off by tiled splash backs and solid wood block worktops, the layout being well designed to make the most of the available space with plenty of storage, the units also including an inset ceramic bowl sink with wooden drainer, an integral wine / plate rack and a glazed display cabinet with integral lighting which supplements the two ceiling spotlight fittings and additional worktop lights. All the appliances are included namely the dual-fuel ‘Rangemaster’ cooker and matching cooker hood over, the fridge / freezer and washing machine along with a slim line dishwasher and microwave neatly housed in an extra matching peninsular unit, again with solid wood work surface, this unit having a hanging pan / utensil rack over.
Accessed by a glazed door at the end of the hall, the living room is a cosy space, again with the window overlooking the yard area, the ceiling and window reveals being clad with pine tongue & groove. Two shelved recesses provides space for books, display, etc. And there are two wall lights and wood laminate flooring.
The staircase from the hall leads up to a landing lit by a high level Velux roof light, original painted panel doors opening to two bedrooms and the bathroom. Both bedrooms are good-sized doubles with laminate flooring, and both enjoy a dual aspect, the main bedroom on the left having windows on opposite walls, the east-facing window looking down Back Charlotte Street lane with a glimpse of the sea between the buildings opposite. Original cornice, wall shelves, centre light and matching wall light. The second bedroom has windows to the north and west, a built-in cupboard providing useful storage space and a centre light fitting.
Finally the bathroom is attractively tiled with decorative border tiles at dado and ceiling level, the flooring also being laid with blue & white checkerboard tiling. There is a white three piece suite including a ‘period’ style WC and wash hand basin, the bath having electric shower over. Heating is provided by a ‘period’ towel rail / radiator supplied by the District Heating.
Hatches on the landing and in one of the bedrooms provide access to storage space in two loft spaces.
Back off the hall, a door behind the stair opens to a ladder stair down to the substantial basement, a small cupboard at the top of the stairs providing a handy storage space. The basement comprises two carpeted, lined out rooms, both providing a huge amount of very usable space with a floor-to-ceiling height of 1.8m / 1.9m (5’10” / 6’3”). The first room which has recessed ceiling spotlighting and plenty of power points, provides lots of storage / office space, this room leading through to a further games room to the rear with pool table with three piece light fitting over being included in the sale.
