GUIDE PRICE £625,000 to £650,000

Regent House is a character rich red brick Georgian home of excellent proportions found close tot he town centre. Double fronted, with large sash windows, exposed original floorboards and cast iron fireplaces to the front reception rooms and spacious bedrooms above the property has a traditional layout street side with two generous reception rooms mirroring one another either side of the welcoming hallway.

As you progress towards the rear of the house you will be greeted with a light filled kitchen (Southerly aspect) separated from the dining room by stripped Georgian panelling. From the kitchen a door behind the staircase reveals steps down to the cellar beneath which provides useful storage and a natural water supply which is pumped to be readily available for use in the garden.

Offset behind the kitchen to the right is a lovely snug offering a more cosy retreat adjacent to the garden and this leads to a useful utility room at the rear and essential ground floor cloakroom.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms are doubles with the first and second bedrooms being of an impressive size. Behind and connected to the first bedroom is a dressing room accessed via a couple of steps down and this has built in wardrobe cupboards and leads to a brand new (January 2025) fitted ensuite. The family bathroom (with bath and separate tiled shower cubicle) completes the first floor accommodation.

The garden at the rear is extremely well manicured and quite private. Interestingly it slightly extends behind the neighbour to the right hand side and fully extends behind the neighbour to the left, abutting up to Oxford Road. The seller advises that she has been advised that it would be possible to create a rear vehicular access here (subject to planning) and you certainly have the space to do so.

This wide garden commences with a paved patio with steps up between a retaining low level wall to a decent lawn with shrub borders retained by timber sleepers.

Rear Garden

The well manicured rear garden extends further than the width of the house behind neighbouring properties (butting onto Oxford Road). We are advised that pre-planning advice has been sought to potentially create a rear vehicular access with parking from Oxford Road by the seller. We hold information at the office.

The rear garden commences with a paved patio area with steps up to an immaculately kept lawn. It has raised flower borders retained by sleepers with established shrubbery. In the main part, the garden is unoverlooked. On the Oxford Road side of the property there is a recessed further paved patio and a shed.
