Property Summary
Property Details
36 Castle Street is the central section of three properties evolved from the early 17th Century timber frame evident within each. This central section is unique however having an impressive hallway laid with pamment tiles and Georgian design influences to the staircase rising to the first floor. Furthermore, the layout comprises not only two distinct reception rooms but also a kitchen beyond, a cellar below and a useable attic space at the very top, accessed via an early flight of stairs. The property is also fortunate in having the central section of three parts to a period outbuilding which provides this house with a garage space and room for workshop activities. The current owners have enjoyed their time in this lovely house since 1984. Improvements, repairs and renovations have been carried out along the way including the installation of gas fired radiator heating.

Outside
The accessway from the road, for pedestrian and vehicular access serves 34,36, 38 & 40 (Regency House). 34, 38 and Regency House have all been sold by Harrison Edge in the past fifteen years, the point being these are now Registered and the shared nature of the access and 'yard' area, clearly established. No 36 is fortunate in owning part of the small Barn, set to one side of the Yard and now providing garaging and workshop space. No.38 Castle Street owns either side. With an up and over door, the internal space measures approximately 13'1 x 12'4 (4m x 3.78m) plus the tiled 'outshut' to the front which at some point in the past was extended to allow a car to be parked within. The garden to No.36 sits, as with the neighbours, across the Yard and is the central section with greenhouse. In the lee of the house is a patio area for sitting out.
A further 'Shed' belongs to No, 36 and is found behind the garage in a separate small building shared with No. 38.
