A harmonious blend of late 18th century elegance and modern convenience in this central Grade II listed townhouse, thoughtfully updated to create a warm, welcoming and highly practical home.
The front door opens into a generously sized SITTING ROOM, its large North Street facing window filling the space with natural light and complementing the high ceilings and panelled walls. A glazed door leads to an inner lobby with a discreet CLOAKROOM with vanity basin and W.C., also serving as a practical utility area with plumbing for a washing machine.
Beyond lies the DINING ROOM, a delightful space bathed in natural light from a striking roof lantern. Double doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating an effortless connection between the house and its outside space. An archway leads to the KITCHEN, where the sink is perfectly positioned to enjoy garden views. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base units complemented by work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a Bosch™ dishwasher, Hotpoint™ oven, Neff™ ceramic hob and an integrated fridge/freezer, while glazed display cabinet and further wall mounted cupboards add further character and practicality. The INNER HALL features attractive flagstone flooring, an understairs storage and a wall-mounted Glow-worm™ gas-fired boiler.
A staircase rises to the first-floor landing, where a part-glazed door opens into a beautifully appointed FAMILY BATHROOM. Luxuriously fitted, it features twin wash basins set within a stylish vanity unit, a W.C., and a walk-in shower with both rainfall and hand-held attachments. Beneath a large window, sits an elegant roll-top bath on claw feet, creating a striking focal point to this impressive room.
The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is an elegant well-proportioned space with views over North Street. Rich in character, featuring exposed floorboards, a handsome period fireplace flanked by display shelving and deep skirting board, an inviting retreat. BEDROOM TWO, is a light and comfortable room with exposed floorboards, built-in wardrobe and a window overlooking the rear garden.
The bright second floor, is home to a charming GUEST SUITE with a bedroom enjoying elevated town views, a versatile DRESSING ROOM or home office and used as an occasional bedroom. Completing the accommodation is a shower room with enclosure, vanity basin and W.C.
Altogether, the accommodation combines late C18th charm with modern comfort. Its prime town centre setting and rear garden create a home that blends history, practicality and contemporary ease.
The rear garden is a standout feature — an amazingly tranquil and restful private space, remarkable in the heart of the town. Extending to around 80ft, it is arranged across several sections and levels to create a versatile outdoor retreat.
A patio sits directly behind the townhouse for outdoor dining, with steps to a further seating area ideal for the afternoon sun. A paved pathway winds through the garden, passing a small area of maintenance free artificial lawn and leading to two additional seating spots.
Planting is abundant and varied, with shrubs such as New Zealand flax, Portugal laurel, holly, paperplant, cherry laurel, Virginia creeper, Adam’s needle and boxleaf honeysuckle providing colour and structure year round.
At the far end, a timber gate opens to the driveway with parking for two cars, alongside a good-sized timber shed for garden storage.
This charming garden offers exceptional privacy and calm, a true extension of the home and a superb setting for both relaxation and entertaining.
