THE PROPERTY
This charming, detached property, superbly located within the sought-after medieval grid, is a Grade II listed two storey brick and flint former stable, which was believed to have been converted and extended in about 2004 and now offers comfortable modern accommodation with electric underfloor and ceiling heating. A panelled front door leads in from the wall and gate enclosed courtyard to the kitchen/dining room. This open-plan room has laminated timber style flooring and features the stairs leading to the first floor, with under stairs storage cupboard, obscured 2ndry glazed window to the rear(side) and single glazed to the front and side, and the kitchen is fitted with a range of base and eye level units, roll top timber effect work surfaces with an inset stainless steel sink unit, electric hob with Bosch electric oven below and extractor fan above and space for a washing machine/dishwasher. The sitting room is well-proportioned and benefits from timber framed double glazed French doors with side screen windows facing south and overlooks the enclosed private courtyard garden. There are two ground floor bedrooms off the hall to the rear, both with built-in wardrobe cupboards and a family bathroom with space and plumbing for a washing machine. On the first floor there is double bedroom with built-in cupboards and dressing table, hay-loft window with banister and across the small landing, with airing cupboard housing the hot water tank, is a second family bathroom.

OUTSIDE
Large double gates give access to the low maintenance, wall enclosed and mainly paved courtyard garden with herb and flower beds, which is a versatile space offering parking for several vehicles or alfresco dining/entertaining. A narrow-gravelled path leads around to the rear fenced boundary of the property, which abuts the rear garden. The superb garage/workshop opens with a personal door and window to the enclosed courtyard and an electric roller door to the front and onto the street – this building clearly gives excellent further scope and versatility as parking can alternatively be utilised off road within the courtyard, if preferred.
