4 bedroom townhouse for sale

The entrance porch with a beautiful ornate portico opens into the hallway where there is a useful under stairs storage cupboard. Steps then lead down to a cloakroom which comprises a WC, wash basin and cupboard housing the Vaillant gas fired boiler which provides domestic hot water and central heating. On the left side of the hallway is the drawing room; this lovely dual aspect room faces both east and west and has a feature fireplace. Adjacent to the drawing room is the dining room which has amazing views up the historic Quay Hill, bookshelves and built-in display cupboards. From here, bi-fold doors and two steps lead into the kitchen/breakfast room which can also be accessed from the hallway, and is fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted units incorporating a double electric oven and four ring gas hob with extractor over, Bosch dishwasher, full length fridge and an attractive bay window which overlooks the garden. Leading off from here is the utility room with an integrated washing machine and space for a tumble dryer, as well as further cupboards and coat hanging space.

From the hall, the staircase leads to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms. The main bedroom overlooks the garden and has built-in wardrobes as well as a small dressing area with bookshelves. This room also benefits from an en suite bathroom which comprises a panelled bath, corner shower enclosure, bidet, WC and wash basin. Bedroom two is a good sized double having built-in wardrobes and lovely views up Quay Hill, and this bedroom is serviced by an en suite bathroom which comprises a panelled bath with folding shower screen, WC, wash basin and large airing cupboard. From the landing, a curved staircase leads up to the second floor where there are two further bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study and the other having built-in cupboards. There is a modern shower room with WC and wash basin between the rooms. The roof space offers useful storage with more available under the eaves.

Outside, the property can be accessed on foot from the cobbled Quay Hill, and by car from Mill Lane via a sliding electric gate which leads to a 2-3 car parking area and double garage. This has an electric up-and-over door, power and light as well as useful eaves storage space. The garden lies entirely to the rear of the house and has been beautifully laid out with a central lawn and flowerbeds being interspersed with a variety of shrubs, plants and trees including a Hawthorn and an Amelanchier. There is also a paved terrace with a crazy paved pathway leading around the house to the back door via three steps, and beneath the drawing room is the large cellar/wine store, albeit having restricted headroom.

A significant additional benefit of the house is the award-winning garden studio which also serves as an excellent home office. The studio was designed by architect Natalie Skeete of Forest Architecture and includes a wet room and ample cupboards/storage with ceiling light and bi-fold doors opening out onto the south facing garden patio.  

SERVICES All mains services are connected to the property. Cat 5/6 cabling runs throughout the property, including the studio. 

EPC RATING The property is Grade II Listed and therefore does not require an EPC.
