House For Sale £150,000
Tower Street Boston. Such a historic street, rich in its history, and for good reason! One of the most photographed streets in town - as the beautifully imposing tower of The Stump glares silently straight down the middle of the road. Dating back to the 1870's! Irby Terrace is a modest, well built, stoic line of deceptively large properties. They have stood here and outlived two world wars with not so much as a scratch! Families have come and gone over the decades, with their mark left on the brickwork down the side of the house where dates and names of occupants have been scribed in. You'll be at one with part of Boston's history with Irby Terrace on Tower Street.
Commensurate to its age, these properties go on, and on! You have two great sized reception rooms, a kitchen, utility AND a four piece bathroom - all downstairs. That's just indoors! Outside, the property has a wonderful sun-trap courtyard, plus once you've stepped across the pathway which grants your neighbours access to the street, you're in your very own, private, lovely lawned garden area - again with that stunning historic church tower looking down on you.
You can find a series of Victorian era properties lining the local streets in this part of town - within a few minutes walk, these historic streets lead to the Train Station, the Police Station, the footbridge into the market place, supermarkets and more. For somewhere so centrally located, you just have to view it to believe how sleepy and quiet this road is. Bliss!
Climbing the stairs, you'll find that this well maintained home has a large principle bedroom, a decent sized second bedroom and still a very modest sized third bedroom - which is currently used as a home office. The solid old bricks don't matter here at all when it comes to online productivity and streaming - the current owner has had lightning fast home broadband installed - offering an amazing 1000mbps download speed!
This property includes:

Come take a seat! This comfortably sized lounge has the added bonus of a bay window providing even more space, flooding natural light in to this lovely room.

This room also has it's own chimney breast, the current owner has chosen to mount a television up here with a two seater sofa on the opposing wall. You can see that there's still room for the dining table in here, the modular shape of the room lends itself to being really quite flexible on how you furnish and use the room. - 04 - Kitchen
3.02m x 2.44m (7.3 sqm) - 9' 10" x 8' (79 sqft)
This room has seen some great meals prepared in it! Ample worktop space lines the left aspect wall with an integrated hob & oven in the centre, overhead extractor fan completes the set, with wall-fitted and under-counter cupboards above and below. You can find even more work space on the opposing side along with the sink and draining board, with space for a tall fridge freezer on the end.
Tiled splashback and vinyl flooring finish the kitchen off, with an open doorway to the utility and rear door to the courtyard also here. - 05 - Utility Room
2.44m x 1.19m (2.9 sqm) - 8' x 3' 10" (31 sqft)
Ideal space for exactly what's currently in here. You can find plumbing for a washing machine, as well as a slimline dishwasher, with further work surface topping the white goods allowing space to organise your pots and laundry. Well lit with it's own window also, there's space still for even more storage in this little room, as the current owner has a decent sized cupboard in place. - 06 - Bathroom
The bathroom has been fully tiled which of course makes it easy to keep clean, and just looks nicer.
You can find a fairly modern four piece bathroom suite in here. The separate shower is a corner unit, the bath tub has it's taps on the side so you can lay either way, and wash basin and toilet is well spaced to ensure this good sized room is of a comfortable layout. The double glazed window overlooks the side aspect, and you'll also find a light and extractor fan in here to round this room off. - 07 - First Floor Landing
The hallway has doors leading to all three bedrooms, plus an over-stairs storage cupboard. - 08 - Bedroom 1
4.62m x 3.66m (16.9 sqm) - 15' 1" x 12' (182 sqft)
Situated at the front of the home, the master bedroom has two double glazed windows, a radiator to the centre, and lots of free space along the side walls for equipping the room with good sized furniture. A great room to kick off upstairs! - 09 - Bedroom 2
3.96m x 3.02m (11.9 sqm) - 12' 11" x 9' 10" (128 sqft)
The second bedroom has the chimney breast continuing up from the dining room down stairs, which breaks the room up nicely, and allows furniture to be placed either side with the illusion that it doesn't impose on the room as much. The radiator is against this wall also, and the double glazed window is to the rear aspect... - 10 - Bedroom 3
2.97m x 2.44m (7.2 sqm) - 9' 8" x 8' (78 sqft)
Another signature feature of this aged home - The third bedroom has a step down into it, with a sloped, but not restricted height ceiling. Currently used as a spacious home office, this room is perfectly sized to be a decent single bedroom. A double glazed window overlooks the rear garden, again in-theme with the rest of the home, this room is lovely and well lit with lots of natural light coming in. A calm and quiet room ideal as an infants bedroom, a guest room, hobby room, or as it is now - an office that will allow you to have no distraction from the outside world. - 11 - Courtyard
Stepping out of the Kitchen, you'll be in the concreted courtyard. This is a great area, sized adequately for outdoor furniture and even a BBQ perhaps! Being the end terrace property, you have the joy of being able to slip straight down the passageway next the the house to the street (don't forget to look out for the scribed names and dates in the bricks!)
There is a pathway/right of access which allows your neighbours to reach their gardens from the front also, and directly across from this, is your own lawned garden.... - 12 - Rear Garden
Another benefit of being the end of terrace house - your garden is that big bigger. The lawned area is wider (as the passageway to the side of the property allows the extra space), so you can enjoy a broader-than-the-rest garden area, bordered nicely with stone, and an old solid brick out-building to use as storage, or even another usable room given some planning, time and TLC!
This brick building measures just over 11ft x 8ft, has a high vaulted ceiling, and an original large open fireplace. We're told that many years ago, fish that were caught in the river Haven at the bottom of the street, were prepared and hung up in here to be cold smoked! Amazing! - Please note, all dimensions are approximate / maximums and should not be relied upon for the purposes of floor coverings.
