Set in a lovely position that faces predominantly south-west, The Cott looks out across The Green, a wide open space lined with a selection of attractive, period houses that reflect the famous architectural heritage of the town. The house itself is a handsome and unlisted property built in the 19th century and is a lovely example of a townhouse of the period. It is built of dressed local stone and fronts directly onto the street, with two storeys plus a suite of converted attics. Its tall sash windows let in high levels of natural light and the house's clay-tiled roof is adorned with two gabled dormer windows that have fantastic views out over the rooftops. The house has lovely high ceilings and due to its position and layout has a light and airy feel throughout with best use being made of the available space. It has recently been sympathetically refurbished to a high standard with great care being taken to retain many of its original architectural features. These include the flagstone floor in the dining room, fireplaces, and timber floors. The house has two reception rooms, one either side of the small hallway. The sitting room has a timber floor of varnished pine, an open fireplace, tongue and groove wainscot panelling and windows on two sides including a small bay window. The dining room has an impressive flagstone floor and its fireplace is fitted with a 2-oven AGA. Immediately adjacent is the fully fitted and compact kitchen, which also has a flagstone floor and is equipped with a range of units and built-in electric appliances including an induction hob, all under timber work surfaces. A door at the rear of the kitchen opens onto the rear, high walled courtyard that is both private and peaceful, providing a lovely outside seating and dining area in fine weather. The first floor has two double bedrooms, both with windows on two sides with lovely views out over the town and both rooms share use of a separate WC. Within the roof space is a galleried landing that leads to a further double bedroom, a walk-in storage room and the family shower room equipped with a good-sized shower stall and twin pedestal basins.
