We have pleasure in offering to the market this attractive bay fronted, three storey period, semi detached home occupying a delightful, lovingly established and generous plot located within a short walking distance of the heart of this well served and much regarded market town.
This pretty, traditional home has been in the same family since the 1960s and was partly operated as a horticultural business. The gardens have been lovingly established over the years being not only of a generous size but also stocked with an abundance of interesting trees and shrubs, creating a fantastic outdoor space of generous proportions. In total the plot approaches 1/5 of an acre and extends to almost 300ft. in length, comprising initial more formal gardens which encompass a generous brick built workshop and further small outbuilding, with central lawn, well stocked perimeter borders with established trees and shrubs including a magnificent wisteria which wraps round the rear elevation of the property. The gardens face due south with the former horticultural area running down towards Melvin Drive at the rear and creates a further generous space again stocked with a variety of tress and shrubs.
Internally the property offers approximately 1,450sq.ft. of accommodation spanning three floors and retains some of it's original period features including high corniced ceilings, deep skirtings, some period fireplaces and inherent character such as an attractive walk in bay window to the front elevation and a tiled porch.
In it's current layout the property offers four double bedrooms, first floor shower and separate WC, and to the ground floor two main reception areas and breakfast kitchen as well as a useful cellar.
Although the property is likely to require a general program of modernisation much of it's inherent character has remained and this provides a blank canvas for those wishing to create a stunning period home to their own taste.
As well as it's accommodation and wonderful plot one of the main advantages is it's fantastic central location, placed within walking distance of a wealth of local services and amenities while it's idyllic garden allows you escape the hustle and bustle of the centre of the town.
Overall the only way to truly appreciate both the current accommodation but also onward potential is by internal inspection.
