Situated in a popular central town location and within a minutes walk of all the amenities the town has to offer, this lovely Victorian-era home offers truly deceptive accommodation thanks to the addition of a two-storey rear extension. 

Antrobus Street lies just to the north western edge of the town centre, literally, a minute or two's walk from the heart of all the amenities the town has to offer. Although the location is so convenient that one does not actually require the use of a car, this particular property benefits the very rare feature of secure off road parking.

The beautifully presented accommodation is far more spacious than it would appear from an initial pavement glance. The previously mentioned extension has created a naturally bright dining kitchen, allowing the original separate living room and dining room to remain as versatile living accommodation - ideal to create a roomy open-plan snug to the neighbouring kitchen, whilst either retaining a more formal living room, or perhaps a spacious office to the front reception room. A very useful small basement provides great storage. 

This home has so obviously been lovingly maintained over the current vendors ownership, and this can be personally witnessed by an internal inspection, or initially by viewing the images that have very recently been taken. The decoration is neutral throughout and helps keep the accommodation bright and airy.

Benefitting great outside space which can be enjoyed as a spacious cottage-style garden, or as permanent, or occassional off road parking. North Street lies immediately to the rear of the property; here, access via wide gates offers the opportunity to access the property by car, or by personal gate to allow bicycle access, etc.

The accommodation features PVC framed double glazing, allowing almost maintenance-free upkeep, whilst also assisting both energy efficiency, and acoustic soundproofing. A gas combination boiler efficiently serves both the central heating, as well as providing for the hot water supply.

Although the accommodation is outlined in greater detail below, a brief summary includes; entry from Antrobus Street via a recently installed composite security-graded front door, opening to a lovely front reception room, which is currently utilised as a cosy cottage-style lounge. A separate spacious dining room is located neighbouring the lounge, with the aforementioned extended kitchen combining to provide an informal dining area too. Sympathetically, both reception rooms retain their original chimney breasts, with the dining room featuring a period-style fireplace with an inset gas living-flame fire - ideal for cooler evenings and winter months. The lounge chimney has a recess which may be suitable to create an open fireplace, or perhaps to install a lovely woodburner (subject to consulting a qualified professional for clarity that either option may be possible).

An enclosed staircase rises from the dining room to the first floor accommodation. Here, a landing with loft access (fitted ladder, light & boarding for storage) separates and connects the two double-sized bedrooms and the extended bathroom. Both bedrooms benefit built-in wardrobes. The bathroom is of a good size and features a white bathroom suite, to include a bath with a mixer shower over the bath.

Outside, as previously mentioned, there is a good sized rear cottage-style garden with a hardstanding base, suitable for siting a large garden storage shed, whilst also permitting secure off road parking for a vehicle.

This is a truly lovely home and will ideally suit a first-time buyer, downsize, or an investor looking for a property that offers everything that will appeal to the widest possible audience.
