Owners say, "It’s been a great family home with a lovely peaceful feel to it, while having all the convenience of being walking distance to the schools, shops, rivers and countryside, and just a short drive to the local beaches!"
This is quite simply, a delightful turn of the last century town house, likely to have been built around the early 1900's, there is still much of the character of the original house, you can see it and feel it as soon as you step through the front door into the high ceiling, Victorian tiled HALLWAY. The SITTING ROOM is a lovely light space and generous enough for a couple of large sofas for family evenings together. There is an open hearth, , although this is not currently used as a working fireplace. Step through to the large and lengthy family space, this is the kitchen and dining room combined yet with the feeling of being the hub of the house. The DINING AREA is lovely and cosy with an attractive fireplace and the KITCHEN/BREAKFAST AREA is generous and light, with large roof light in the ceiling and wide windows on either side, with large patio doors opening onto the terrace. It is big enough for a very good-sized dining table and chairs, an ideal space for friends and family to gather, and on warmer days, to spill out onto the terrace and garden. There is a very useful UTILITY ROOM just off the kitchen with space and plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer and the boiler is also housed here. Back into the hallway and there is a useful CLOAKROOM with W.C. and washbasin.
The bedroom accommodation is all located on the first floor. Here you will find 2 generous DOUBLE BEDROOMS and a large SINGLE BEDROOM, all flooding with light from large sash windows and with original built-in cupboards. The FAMILY BATHROOM is also a good size, with bathtub and shower over, wash basin and W.C., and natural light coming from a wide window. The ATTIC has sturdy timber ladder steps to it, with additional cupboard storage at the top of the ladder, vendors currently use this attic space as useful storage and office.
There is a side access from Mill Lane into the garden, ideal for bikes, kayaks and tumbling in from the beach! From the kitchen and the utility room you have access straight onto the large timber decked TERRACE, a perfect spot for outside meals and entertaining, quiet and completely private, it really is delightful. Up a few stone steps and you are onto a large lawned GARDEN, bordered by high walls, mature trees and shrubs, this really is a surprisingly large space, and quite unusual for the centre of town. There is often on road parking outside the house or further down Mill Lane, or indeed, many of the adjoining roads.
