Description - 3 Ashfield House is a fascinating and unique wing of an attractive Georgian style mansion house which was built circa. 1849 from Ashlar Stone by William Cole Wood who, at the time, was a principal tradesman and landowner in the town. It has been renovated under the current ownership to create a fantastic, quirky property with a distinctive yet homely personality and, unusually for properties of this type, this Grade II Listed home is freehold and benefits from private parking, garage in block and a sizeable area of garden.
Accommodation - Internally the accommodation is spacious, with high ceilings and large sash windows in many rooms creating an airy environment with lots of natural light. The ground floor is occupied by a marvellous open-plan living area with kitchen, dining and sitting spaces. Authenticity is abundant here with original shutters on one of the windows and beautiful floorings; exposed floorboards in the sitting and dining areas, along with a feature, gas-flame fire, help to create a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere whilst the mosaic tiled floor in the kitchen is complemented by an attractive shaker-style kitchen with a wooden work surface and spaces for free-standing appliances, which may be available by separate negotiation.
The classical style with which the ground floor is presented is continued on the first floor. Upon ascending a wide staircase from the entrance hall, there is a large, galleried landing, which has been cleverly utilised as a study with a charming raised library area. The sitting room has exposed floorboards and a fireplace, making this a lovely place for more formal entertaining. There are two double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, along with a family bathroom.
The entire top floor, which is accessed via a concealed staircase, is the third bedroom which has been decorated with great flair and benefits from multiple storage solutions within the adjacent roof spaces. A seating platform, reached by a wooden ladder, has been created with further storage beneath. Another interesting feature of this room is the skylight, which forms a square "turret" with panels of glass on each face and a contrast ceiling rose, providing another element of intriguing character as well as ample natural light.
Domestically, there is a utility room/larder adjoining the kitchen which has space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and there is an alternative entrance into the property which leads to the formal front door. Storage solutions are abundant throughout with cupboards on all levels and an easily accessible roof space. On the lower ground floor level, there is a sizeable cellar divided into 2 rooms, which was originally the wine cellar for the house and consequently features vaulted ceilings and flagstone floors, providing further excellent storage space.
Outside - Ashfield House is approached along a sweeping tarmac driveway, culminating in a wide parking and turning area and giving a wonderful sense of arrival. This area provides parking for all 4 properties formed from Ashfield House, and a side drive leads to a block of garages, one of which is owned by number 3. Additionally this property benefits from a private parking area for 2 vehicles which is also accessed from the side drive.
The private entrance to the property is accessed from the parking area via a paved pathway, along which a neighbour has right of way. A well proportioned area of garden lies to the front of the property which enjoys areas of lawn and patio bordered by mature flower and shrub beds as well as a section of soft fruits and fruit trees including Apple, Pear, plum and Cherry. The outbuilding has power and light, ideal as a hobby workshop or garden storage.
