Description

Tucked away in this peaceful location just off the High Street, 5 Wellington Place is an exceptional Grade II listed cottage with attractive red brick elevations, relieved by sash hung casement windows under a tiled roof. The property is full of character, arranged over three floors and is well presented throughout.

Originally two cottages, the property has been thoughtfully combined to create a wonderfully spacious home of c1500 square feet with excellent proportions. Both the generous sitting room and the equally impressive dining room overlook the charming courtyard garden, creating bright and inviting reception spaces. To the rear of the house, the modern kitchen has wooden worktops and fitted with a comprehensive range of units and appliances, while a shower room and separate utility room are positioned just off the kitchen for added convenience.

A particular feature of the property is its flexible first-floor layout, which is accessed via two separate staircases. A spacious double bedroom lies to one side, enjoying good proportions and an ensuite bathroom. Opposite is a substantial additional reception room which could easily serve as an additional bedroom or home office depending on requirements.

The second floor provides two further well-proportioned double bedrooms, both of impressive size and benefiting from extensive built-in storage. Together, the upper floors provide highly adaptable accommodation with a layout that can evolve to suit a variety of lifestyles.
