This is a charming character cottage which occupies a generous established plot lying in the region of 1/5 of an acre with a rear garden approaching 250ft. in length creating a fantastic outdoor space, all situated right at the heart of this well served market town within walking distance of a wealth of amenities.
This delightful cottage has seen a tasteful program of improvements over the years but still retains it's attractive brick facade beneath a pantile roof. Behind cream UPVC double glazed windows with woodgrain effect foil finish lies a versatile level of accommodation which as been extended to the rear with a substantial single storey addition that has created a fantastic open plan living/dining kitchen. Leading, via a utility, is a useful additional reception area which has been used as a home office but alternatively would make a further sitting room or even potential ground floor bedroom with adjacent cloak room. The kitchen is a fantastic space and has undoubtedly become the hub of the home, generously proportioned and flooded with light having a pitched roof, inset skylights and French doors leading out into the garden all of which benefits from a westerly rear aspect. In addition there is a cosy sitting room with an aspect to the front, having attractive fire place and solid fuel stove, all leading off a central hallway with beautiful spindle balustrade turning staircase rising to the first floor landing with high vaulted ceiling giving access to three bedrooms and a modern bathroom.
The property is neutrally presented throughout, benefits from a great of character and would be ideal for those looking for a central location close to local schools and amenities, making it perfect for young families, but could well appeal to both professional couples or those downsizing from larger dwellings but still wanting an excellent level of outdoor space at the heart of the town.
Overall viewing is the only way to truly appreciate both the accommodation, location and garden.
