House For Sale £575,000
A beautifully & sympathetically, refurbished town house with attached annex and courtyard garden, set within a short walk of Market Place
60 West Street is a beautiful home with a degree of versatility. Dating from the 1700s and Listed Grade II, the house offers tremendous character that has been retained during a fastidious program of refurbishment. The formal, gatehouse appearance to the front, was a result of gentrification of the three old cottages, carried out after the battle of Waterloo.
On walking through the arched carriageway, the depth of the property becomes apparent, with its beautiful limestone walls, sash windows and tall chimneys. The property is in two parts, with the original house to the front, and an annex to the rear, converted from one of the cottages and former pump house. Though split now, the two parts were used as a single dwelling in the past and could be again, very easily, by the removal of two blocked doors. The services and heating are shared.
The main house has a lovely timber door to the hall. The cellar door is opposite. The elegant sitting room is to the front of the house and has an open fireplace as a focal point. Either side are handcrafted bookshelves and cupboards. The sash window has a seat beneath. The dining kitchen is across the hall. This atmospheric room has a bay window to the side and an inglenook to one end, where the cooker is set. Bespoke furniture, with hardwood worksurfaces and inset sink, is set along one wall. The floor has limestone flags, with heating beneath, which extends through into the annex. The understairs recess provides a useful utility area. A blocked door beside the inglenook could be reopened to give access to the annex, beyond.
The first floor offers a split landing with access to three double bedrooms and the main bathroom. The principal bedroom to the front, has an ornate fireplace with wardrobes to one side. The en suite shower room is adjacent.
A winding staircase leads from the landing to characterful attic bedroom.
The annex accommodation has its own front door opening to the stone floored hall. Storage cupboards and the cloakroom are set to one side.
The live-in kitchen is a wonderful room with a full height, pitched ceiling and a warm brick floor. Along one wall there is a range of bespoke furniture with hardwood worksurfaces, fitted hob and inset sink. An oven is fitted below. The gable is south-facing and glazed with a bespoke pair of doors, which open to the courtyard garden.
A door opens from the hall, to the stairs that lead to a double bedroom above. Again, a blocked door could be reopened to allow access to the main house.
