Description

11 Downes Street is a handsome and substantial Georgian town house believed to date back to the early 1800's with brick front and natural stone rear elevations under a slate roof. The property is Listed Grade II of Architectural or Historic Importance and until very recently the house was utilised as offices. Under the current ownership it has been newly converted and refurbished professionally to a very high standard (the contractors were the well respected and award winning local builders C.G. Fry & Ltd). The well-proportioned accommodation is both extensive and versatile being arranged over 3 floors (plus the cellar and attic/play room) enjoying pleasant views over the town to the distant countryside and hills including the well known landmark of Colmers. There is a wealth of character features typical of its period including high ceilings, sash windows, cast iron fireplaces, fanlight, picture rails, panelled doors and flagstone flooring. A particular unusual feature is the former safe/strong room with arched/vaulted ceilings.

The very impressive specification includes:-
* Newly installed gas fired central heating
* New quality fitted kitchen with granite worktops
* Comprehensive built in kitchen appliances – gas hob, eye level electric double oven, stainless steel cooker hood, integrated fridge and freezer
* New quality period style bathroom/shower room fittings
* Newly redecorated with period style colours
* New floor coverings including fitted carpets, laminate wood flooring and vinyl
