Located towards the top end of St. James Road, close to St. James Church itself, a well presented, good sized five bedroom, two bathroom, semi detached property with a wealth of period features and flourishes. The current owners have taken considerable care to maintain the character of this Victorian home and rightly so. The property has generous entertaining space in the form of a large lounge and a further larger dining room, a ground floor study and a particularly good sized kitchen/breakfast room. An attractive period banister sweeps up to the first floor, which is especially interesting given it divides onward via two separate staircases offering bedroom space in the upper first floor as well as to the second floor. The bedroom sizes - most especially the original bedroom spaces - are particularly impressive and recent installations of both further bedrooms and bathrooms have been done to especially high specifications. Externally the property has generous off road parking to the front in the form of a cobbled driveway and attractive, enclosed gardens to the rear. A glance at the attached photographs and floorplan will give an indication as to the style and quality of this extremely attractive proposition.
