Directions From St James Church travel south along Upgate and after the zebra crossing, look for the house on the left, where Kidgate (one-way) emerges onto Upgate.
The Property This substantial end-terraced property has brick principal external walls beneath a double-pitched roof covered in a combination of slate and concrete tiles. The building has partial double glazing and a mains gas central heating system.

The present owners have improved the accommodation considerably and acquired a valuable parcel of garden land forming the return-frontage to Kidgate. A shared pedestrian access leads around the rear of the house where there is also a small rear courtyard.
The house also has a cellar with staircase down from the hall and this provides potential for further conversion.
