A handy covered area leads up to the front door, which opens in turn to the central hallway of the house with stairs leading up to the first floor accommodation and a further door opening into the Living accommodation. This is the principle room for downstairs and is a spacious, welcoming Living room with large window overlooking the road at the front. Built in cupboards provide plenty of storage while a gas fireplace provides a focal point in the room.

An opening leads through the breakfast area/dining room with half glazed door out into the garden. This part of the property enjoys lovely views across the rear gardens which have been cleverly designed to create a lovely patio area and pretty flower beds providing colour throughout the year. 

Upstairs there are two good sized bedrooms, each with a view across the gardens or surrounding town, and a bathroom. The bathroom has a panel bath, W/C and pedestal basin. 

Throughout the property there is a fantastic opportunity for someone to put their own stamp on their next home, right in the heart of the town.
