Welcome to Friary Lane and this three-bedroom mid-terrace house, that combines both charm and convenience. The front door opens into the inviting ENTRANCE HALL from here, the option to explore the twin reception rooms or ascend to the first and second floors via the staircase.

The SITTING ROOM lies to the front of the residence and is centred around the cosy coal effect gas fire.

This pleasing reception room enjoys the morning sun courtesy of the generous sized window. The separate DINING ROOM can accommodate a sizable dining table and chairs for both casual or more formal dining. Sunlight graces this space through the south-west facing window. A door and quarter turn staircase (with restricted head height) descends to the BASEMENT CELLAR, measuring some 190 sq.ft this generous space is currently used for enviable storage but can be flexibly repurposed.

Leading off the dining room lies the KITCHEN.

Venturing up the stairs to the FIRST-FLOOR LANDING doors gain access to the principal bedroom and the shower room. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM embraces the morning sun.

The BATHROOM which lies adjacent has been converted to a shower room with double shower tray with side screen rainfall and separate hand shower attachment. The modern suite also comprises a wash hand basin and W.C.

To the second floor, you'll discover a spacious landing that offers a fantastic potential for a study area. From here, two equally sized bedrooms await, both offering views of the townscape and beyond. BEDROOM TWO sits at the front of the house, whilst BEDROOM THREE occupies the rear.
