The rear kitchen has been refitted and has a convenient side door leading to the street. On the first floor, there are two bedrooms and an additional versatile room which can be utilised as a home office amongst other uses.

The main bathroom is located on the first floor and has been sympathetically updated with a roll-top bath and circular basin over an exposed timber surface. The principal bedroom occupies the entire top floor comprising a characterful double bedroom complete with fitted wardrobes and newly refitted en-suite shower room.
From the street side, the cottage is hidden behind a door opening to a shared passageway which leads to the cottage positioned behind the terrace. Accompanying the cottage is an equally surprising garden which is of very generous size for a town centre property. The sunny garden is elevated at the same level as the first floor, accessed by steps. A lovely secluded seating area is positioned at the back of the cottage with steps up to a lawn terrace and additional terrace at the top. On street parking is available outside on St Johns Street.
