The town centre, which can be reached on foot in less than 10 minutes, offers all the normal amenities you would expect from a bustling market town, including two supermarkets, an M&S Food Hall, a medical centre, a cinema, a leisure centre and both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and is home to the Britannia Royal Naval College. There is always plenty to do, with several festivals being held throughout the year, the South-West.

12 Above Town is a truly special Grade II listed terraced cottage, beautifully upgraded and stylishly presented throughout. A superb addition, The Tuck Away, is a converted barn, brimming with charm and character, and is situated within the delightful south-facing gardens, providing independent guest or ancillary accommodation.

The main cottage, believed to date from the late 1800s, is arranged over three floors with great attention to detail and an abundance of period features, including exposed timber and stone, vaulted ceilings, and polished wood floors. The ground floor (street level) comprises an entrance hall and double bedroom with an en suite shower room, and a circular staircase, rises to the first floor, which offers a second double bedroom and stylish bathroom with rain head shower. The top floor opens into a breath-taking open plan living and dining room, with a high vaulted ceiling, open fire, and an elegant kitchen, fitted with a range of units, butler’s sink, and integral appliances, including a dishwasher, a fridge freezer, a gas hob, and an electric oven. Trifold doors concertina back to ensure the full-width south-facing terrace and beautifully landscaped gardens beyond are fully enjoyed.

Set within these tranquil gardens, The Tuck Away has been cleverly converted to provide flexible and well-finished accommodation, ideal for guests, extended family or working from home. The Tuck Away comprises a double bedroom and shower room, and a well-appointed kitchen / dining room which is open plan to a charming sitting room. The level below offers a large playroom / studio and a workshop. The Tuck Away has separate access off Crowthers Hill, ensuring any guests can access the barn without the need to come through the house.
