This attractive double-fronted Grade II listed property is set along a peaceful pedestrian pathway within a highly sought-after terrace of 17th century weaver's cottages, and enjoys show-stopping vistas over the town and surrounding landscape. The current owners have carried out extensive renovations to create a welcoming home, which offers a tasteful blend of modern convenience and open plan living, while retaining the character and charm of a period property. The location itself is wonderfully tranquil, yet is just a short distance from the town’s shops, schools, bus stops, and the all-important railway station. 

Set across three thoughtfully arranged floors, the interior benefits from well-proportioned rooms. A mix of working sash and casement windows allows for an abundance of natural light, which creates a wonderful sense of space throughout. 

On the ground floor, a stable door welcomes you into a modern open-plan kitchen/dining room, designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The space features well-arranged storage within high-quality cabinetry and plentiful drawers, complemented by white tiling, elegant work surfaces, and integrated appliances that include a cooker, hob, and dishwasher. A separate utility cupboard provides a dedicated area for laundry appliances to be neatly hidden away. Newly installed spotlighting ensures the room is always bright and inviting. Opposite this kitchen/dining room, on the other side of the ground floor, is a versatile snug that can serve as a playroom, study or second sitting area / reading nook. It offers excellent storage and conveniently houses the combi-boiler, which was installed in 2019. A sleek and contemporary shower room with W.C, sink and heated towel rail completes the ground-floor accommodation.

The first floor hosts a well-presented bathroom often filled with natural light from its stone-mullioned window, equipped with a full-length bath with shower and a W.C, sink, built in storage cupboard, and radiator. This level also includes the largest of the double bedrooms, complete with built-in wardrobe with shelving, lovely wooden flooring, and stunning views. On the opposite side of this hallway, the third bedroom (a good single) is likewise appointed with fitted storage and desk space, providing practical and attractive sleeping arrangements for those who need to accommodate children.

The second floor is a particularly impressive feature of the house, with a glorious living room measuring approximately 17 feet in depth. An exceptional setting for relaxation or hosting, this superb space is frequently flooded with natural light and provides captivating elevated views across the town and beyond. A spacious landing provides additional storage and an ideal study area, leading in turn through to a delightful 12-foot double bedroom, perfectly suited as a guest room or teenage bedroom, also with fitted storage.

Outside at the front, the enclosed and mature south-facing garden has been arranged to maximise enjoyment of the sunshine and the peaceful surroundings. Offering a delightful retreat, this inviting space is accented by small trees as well as pretty plants and shrubs that fill the beds, and largely enjoys the same appealing far-reaching views that the house does. Separated from the front of the property by the pedestrian pathway, a few steps lead down to a level outside space which comprises of a fair expanse of lawn further to patio seating areas on two different levels that are ideal for hosting, relaxing, or just enjoying a peaceful meal in the evenings. 

Blending beautifully into the garden is a stone-built garden office with a living roof. Measuring almost 12 feet in length, it was finished to a high specification in March 2020 and benefits from energy efficient, sound-proof triple glazing, full insulation, underfloor heating with an additional electric radiator, lighting, and a power supply, as well as a separate storage room.
