Accommodation

This lovely Georgian town house combines the old with the new superbly with a plethora of character features, such as a large feature fireplace with log burner on a slate hearth in the sitting room and stripped wooden floorboards, in addition to a range of more modern features including substantial built-in wardrobes to bedrooms 1 and 2, an en-suite shower to the main bedroom and a utility room, making it a great prospect for a wide range of buyers.
