An exceptional character townhouse, discreetly tucked away in the ‘old village area’.
Description
Tucked away in a private road and with a pedestrian gate directly onto Cumberland Walk, this fine period townhouse dates originally from around 1800, although it was later remodelled and expanded during Victorian times, to create this highly individual, character property which we see today.
The accommodation is laid out over two floors with a cellar beneath, and works very well for modern day family living. There are generous flowing rooms downstairs, ideal for entertaining, and with the informal family room having three sets of double doors to the impressive outside entertaining terrace, which directly leads to the secluded garden. Upstairs the bedrooms are a good size with a fine ratio of bedrooms to bathrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with its high ceiling, stunning shower room and quality fitted wardrobes.
Period features abound throughout downstairs, with three of the rooms having attractive fireplaces, including a high-ceilinged formal sitting room, featuring an almost full height sash style windows to the wide bay. The kitchen/breakfast room is modern, well fitted and equipped, with bespoke painted cupboards combined with granite work surfaces, limestone flooring and ceiling downlighters. Appliances include a two oven AGA, set under a canopied extractor, plus a separate electric Neff oven below a Miele induction hob, plus a Miele dishwasher. There is also a recessed, generous walk-in larder.
Outside, the light stone entertaining terrace has outside lighting and steps down to the lawned garden, with a retaining wall and hedging and planting to Eden Road on one side, and tall rhododendrons to Cumberland Walk on the other. In addition, there are hedging and trees to the rear, creating a good degree of seclusion, whilst being in the middle of town. In addition, there is a second decked patio outside the kitchen.
Finally, there is parking to the front of the single garage, with under croft storage and an outside WC below. In addition to the parking available at the house (for 3 cars), owners can apply for 2 x Zone A parking permits, plus additional visitor permits.
There is vehicle access to both Eden Road in one direction and Cumberland Yard to the other, as well as pedestrian access onto Cumberland walk, down to the High Street and The Pantiles.
