A deceptively spacious, extended Victorian 3/4 bedroom semi-detached cottage, enjoying a convenient location within the heart of the Old Town, just a short walk from the historic High Street and mainline railway station beyond with fast direct trains to Kings Cross in approximately 23 minutes.

In addition, there is a generous rear garden, hard landscaped for low-maintenance with useful out buildings. Further practical benefits include gas-fired central heating and double-glazing whilst in full the accommodation comprises of a comfortable lounge, a dining room, a practical utility room, ground-floor bathroom, extended and impressive open-plan kitchen/family room. The first-floor landing leads to three bedrooms, the master bedroom being a particularly good double size room. Whilst the original garage has been converted to provide an occasional ground-floor fourth bedroom or study. Viewing is recommended.
