The Property

The perfect pied-a-terre or low maintenance pad for period home-lovers - this Grade II listed home has been imaginatively created from the former servants quarters at the rear of a prominent Georgian property. The property has been extensively and sympathetically improved in line with the necessary regulations, retaining much of the original character features with a sprinkling of contemporary chic. Tucked away behind a secure communal entrance way, it has a beautiful outlook at the rear over the period rooftops towards the parish church, and yet lies within easy reach of the all the town centre facilities including high street stores, Antique shops, the local Waitrose store and Aquacentre Pool and Gym complex.

Accommodation

Much of the original character has been saved, including stone skirtings, sash windows with solid oak window sills and flagstone floors, whilst sympathetic upgrades have been used where appropriate including modern double glazing, gas central heating via a modern Rayburn range, and clever choices of fittings and cabinetry. It's a quirky yet practical home, with a great blend of modern convenience and olde-worlde charm.

An initial entrance vestibule with panelling and exposed stone and brickwork offers space to hang coats and sets the scene for the rest of this special home. The hall opens up into a spacious area with original flagstone flooring and the first of several period style radiators to complement the property's past. The downstairs cloakroom is a real style statement with contemporary black WC and porcelain wash basin, with the more traditional and well-proportioned dual aspect living room to one side, with its original French windows and black slate fireplace. Off the hall is a very useful pantry area with high level window providing natural light and tall wall cabinetry, oak worktop and pan drawers to make the most of the fabulous ceiling height and create maximum storage. It's an excellent extension to the kitchen, creating more space in the kitchen itself for a table and chairs. The kitchen itself is stylishly fitted out with a range of grey and deep blue units, with Italian Roman stone Bianco Venato worktops incorporating a ceramic sink, whilst the units also incorporate an integrated spice rack, slimline dishwasher, fridge, combi microwave / convection oven and electric hot plate, with the majority of the day to day cooking and central heating provided by the up to date gas fired Rayburn range.

The first floor landing is beautifully light and airy, with Velux windows and dual aspect sashes flooding much of the first floor with light. A vaulted ceiling adds to the feeling of space and there's a useful loft storage area accessed via double doors. A box room to one side acts as a laundry / linen cupboard with plumbing for washing machine and useful shelving. The master bedroom is one of three double rooms, and has a lovely view over the surrounding roofscape and parish church. There's both a walk-in wardrobe and tastefully modernised en suite shower room. Bedroom two has a vaulted ceiling with skylight windows, whilst bedroom three is enjoys the same pretty outlook as the master bedroom. A stylish main bathroom includes a luxurious freestanding bath, separate walk-in shower with dual head controls, heritage sink and WC.
