The Property
A secure door entrance opens from Woodmarket to a well-kept, shared stairwell. A carpeted stair then extends to the private main entrance to the property. The first floor landing opens to the Studio apartment and Office area; currently this is used as self-contained accommodation which could be rented out and is ideal as a residential or holiday let. The apartment is finished in elegant tones with high quality fixtures and fittings continuous throughout the property. With a double window overlooking the cobbles and square below, fitted with high performance secondary glazing, the open plan studio is a charming space; including a separate shower room and selection of in-built storage and hanging spaces, with a cupboard housing the electric meters and such. Across the first floor landing, a secure door opens to a private office, linen cupboard and storage space, again offering scope to develop further or most convenient to service the turnover of potential rentals. The upper level hosts the main townhouse itself; a masterclass in property styling. With elevated outlooks from the reception area, a contemporary open plan public room hosts a modern kitchen with integrated appliances, allowing for socialising space, a dining area and comfortable living room. A separate shower room sits adjacent, with cloak and wardrobe storage along the hallway and with the beautiful principal bedroom to the far end. A further carpeted stair and landing provides access to the top floor; currently this extends the second floor accommodation by hosting a second bedroom and further lounge or bedroom three, though with its own bathroom on this level could be adapted to an entirely self-contained unit with plumbing and waste accessible and identified in the living room to create a studio in mirror of the first floor apartment.
