An elegant Victorian town house, close to the town centre, no doubt built for someone important!

Hidden behind this handsome, but unassuming exterior is a beautifully presented character town house with surprisingly spacious rooms and many fine features.

The house has been the subject of extensive refurbishment throughout including a new kitchen and bathroom, flooring, fireplace with a cast iron stove, en-suite bathroom, and decorative wall panelling to name but a few.

The house is set back from the road, a gated low maintenance front garden offers a path to the front door and there is a gate to the garden.

The traditional solid wood front door opens to reveal a long reception hall, a high ceiling with an ornate moulded plaster arch and moulded cornice, the attractive travertine tiled floor is practical and easy to keep clean, and the addition of double-glazed French doors to the garden provide a light and welcoming reception. A central turning staircase rises to the floors above.

Doors open to the reception rooms, the impressive dining room at the front of the house can be separated from the sitting room with impressive double sliding doors. Engineered dark oak flooring runs through the reception rooms, bringing the two spaces together – great for family gatherings, but should you wish for solitude, perhaps to read a book from the seat the vendor has created in the fireplace alcove in the dining room, or to work from home, the heavy wooden sliding doors can offer you the peace and quiet you seek!
The dining room offers an open fireplace, but the stove in the sitting room is the pièce-de-résistance. The feature stone fireplace has been lovingly built by the current owner, the wood burning stove creating the perfect room in which to relax and watch a movie on the large flat screen television (this is included in the sale, by the way). A door opens to the courtyard at the rear of the house, giving access to a store (perfect for keeping your logs in!).

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed, and offers plenty of storage and work surface, with an integrated fridge freezer, dishwasher, double oven and a gas hob. A door leads to the rear courtyard and the flooring is a continuation of the travertine tiles from the entrance hall.

The impressive turning staircase runs centrally though the house, rising to the first floor, where you will find two double bedrooms and a large bathroom. The master bedroom at the front of the house is an excellent size, featuring picture rails, deep skirtings and moulded ceiling cornices, an attractive ornamental fireplace and wardrobes built into the recesses on either side. A wide landing offers space for a desk, and a door leads into the third bedroom (in size), which can accommodate a double bed but is currently used as a home office.

It is rare to get a bathroom of this size, with a separate shower cubicle with a thermostatically controlled, mains connected shower, a bath, and a floating sink and vanity unit. The airing cupboard occupies one corner.

The second floor offers another double bedroom, with under-eaves storage, and an en-suite shower room. There are pleasant views from here to outlying countryside.

To the side of the house is a fully enclosed, low maintenance garden, being decked, the perfect space for sitting out in better weather. Space for a garden shed. A secure gate leads to the front of the house and French doors into the entrance hall.

I know that Estate Agents say this about lots of houses, but this one really is worth taking a look at!
