Conveniently situated just a short walk from the historic Old Town High Street, a deceptively spacious and much-improved two-bedroom, two-bathroom Victorian cottage with the rare advantage of both a GARAGE and DRIVEWAY. The property has been significantly improved by the current owner and combines many fine period features with contemporary fixtures and fittings, creating a perfect balance of character and modern open-plan living. In our opinion, the property would represent an ideal first-time purchase or, alternatively, an individual home for those looking to downsize. Highlights of the accommodation include a most generous open-plan lounge/dining room with two feature brick fireplaces, a sleek refitted kitchen and the practical benefits of a utility area and downstairs cloakroom/WC. The first-floor accommodation provides two bedrooms, with the master bedroom being of excellent proportions. The second bedroom benefits from a generous modern en-suite shower room, while there is also an opulent four-piece family bathroom incorporating both a bath and separate shower cubicle. It is worthy of note that the first-floor accommodation could be remodelled to revert the property back to a three-bedroom home, if so required. Practical benefits include impressive contemporary-style black aluminium double-glazed windows and doors and gas-fired central heating. A single garage is situated immediately opposite the property, with a driveway providing off-road parking for one vehicle, while the property also enjoys a private landscaped rear garden. Viewing highly recommended.
