The Property
The property is entered through a solid timber front door into a welcoming entrance vestibule, where attractive period features immediately set the tone. Decorative tiled flooring, cornice detailing and a timber and glazed door with matching side panels lead through to the spacious hallway. A cupboard houses the electric meter and switchgear, with coat hanging facilities also available.
The hallway continues the character of the property, boasting impressive ceiling heights, solid timber doors with decorative architraves and a beautiful solid wood staircase. Finished in neutral tones with laminate flooring, it provides access to the main reception rooms and family bathroom.
The sitting room is a particularly inviting space, featuring a recently installed multi fuel stove set on a slate hearth with brick backdrop and solid timber mantle. A large bay window overlooks the front garden and enjoys lovely views across the town. Further features include carpeted flooring, detailed cornicing, recessed display shelving and an attractive ceiling light fitting.
The family bathroom is fitted with a bath and shower over, wash hand basin set beneath the window with useful storage below, and WC. The room is finished with vinyl flooring.
To the rear, the dining/living room offers a generous and versatile space, with laminate flooring and a welcoming feel. A gas fire set within a black tiled hearth and backdrop, complemented by a solid wood surround, provides an attractive focal point. A recessed sideboard and cupboard offer useful storage, while the rear facing window enjoys views towards the garden.
A door from here leads through to the kitchen, which offers a good range of wall and floor units topped with solid timber work surfaces. The Belfast sink features a mixer tap and traditional drainer grooves carved into the worktop. There's a four burner gas hob with chimney style cooker hood over and tiled splashback, integrated electric oven and space and plumbing for a washing machine, together with space for a freestanding fridge freezer.

From the hallway, the beautiful solid timber staircase rises to a bright upper landing, where an impressive window to the side allows natural light to flood the space and provides lovely views. A small hallway at the turn of the stairs gives access to a bedroom and shower room. This bedroom is currently utilised as a home office, making it ideal for those working remotely, although it would equally serve as a fourth bedroom if required. Double aspect windows to the side and rear provide excellent natural light, complemented by neutral décor and carpeted flooring. The adjoining shower room comprises an electric shower within an enclosure, WC and wash hand basin, with vinyl flooring.
The upper landing provides access to three further bedrooms and a storage cupboard which also gives access to the attic via built in steps. This offers excellent additional storage, with lighting, power, carpeted flooring, a large Velux window and useful eaves storage.
Two of the bedrooms are positioned to the front, enjoying large windows with attractive views across the town. Both benefit from carpeted flooring, with one also featuring recessed shelving.
