Property description

A Victorian six double bedroom bay fronted detached property on a tree lined road within walking distance of the town centre, mainline railway station and the Harpur Trust schools.

The property is one of fourteen town houses, which were converted, refurbished, and fully restored by Storey Homes in 2010. The 3,783 sq. ft. of accommodation is set over three floors with contemporary style features combined with period features including moulded ceiling cornices and roses throughout. The entrance hall has a high ceiling, a staircase with individual balustrades and exposed wood effect Karndean flooring which continues into the open plan kitchen/breakfast/dining room which has a utility room leading off. There is also a cloakroom and a tanked storage cellar with power. The principal bedroom has a walk-in dressing area and a refitted en suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms, a family bathroom and a first floor study which could be used as a single bedroom. The three remaining bedrooms are on the second floor, with an en suite and a bathroom.

The dual aspect sitting room has character features including high ceilings, and two traditional fireplaces, one with an open grate and the other housing a log burning stove. A bay window overlooks the driveway and the other window overlooks the rear garden. The family room also overlooks the driveway and has a built-in cupboard.

Kitchen/Breakfast/Dining Room

The open plan kitchen/breakfast/dining room has glazed double doors with wing windows to the rear garden. It is fitted in a contemporary style range of high gloss units with granite work surfaces incorporating a sink and drainer.

It has a block paved terrace and a raised decked outdoor entertaining area. There is a timber storage shed.
