Property Summary

A character Grade II Listed town cottage with much interest including 2 double bedrooms, first floor bathroom, 2 reception rooms plus cellar. A delightful partly walled rear garden faces the sun and includes an additional area of garden beyond.

Property Details

4 Lowgate Street is a fascinating period cottage formed from a larger timber framed building possibly of Hall House origins as many of the town cottages were. The interior is superior to many in that from the front entrance door a hallway extends through to the rear. Furthermore, upstairs two double bedrooms combine with a first floor bathroom all from a sizeable landing. Downstairs, two reception rooms combine with useable cellar space plus a character kitchen with range of handbuilt bespoke units. Gas fired radiator heating is installed and windows include a number being secondary glazed. Of particular note is the extent of character details including timbers, floorboards and period doors along with a good headroom throughout. Furthermore, in addition to the main initial garden space, part of which is walled, a further section of garden belongs to the property and together makes for quite a sizeable plot given the nature of the property.

Outside
The rear of the property is a delight whether one looks up at the house to see the contrasting rooflines or looks down the garden to enjoy the red brick walling, planted borders and greenhouse alongside the path.

Beyond the gate lies an additional piece of land having been laid out as a formal garden but currently in need of taking in hand.
