Loft Space
The property was built in approximately 1895 as a two storey apartment above shop premises, for the shopkeeper's family to live in. The top storey had two bedrooms with a staircase leading from the first floor with a proper wood floor. In the late 1960s the property changed use to a dentist's. The dentist removed the second staircase (which is still up there) and only used the top floor for adjusting false teeth and the like via a trapdoor and folding ladder. Following this there was a period of use as a solicitors' office. In 1993 the flat reverted to residential use but the second floor was not used until the early 2000s when a tenant boarded the side walls of it and used one room. There is a great opportunity to complete the reinstatement of the original layout of this floor to make it a three or four bedroom flat.
