About this 6 - Semi-Detached
Five minutes' walk from the centre of an attractive riverside market town but also only a few minutes' walk into the countryside, this property was built in about 1850. Formerly a farmhouse, it is now a townhouse facing directly onto the street. All the front windows are shuttered and double-glazed but the road is very quiet anyway. The front elevation gives no clue to the size of the property. There is ample car-parking in front of the house but there is also a two-storey garage with forecourt and tiny attached garden on the opposite side of the road. The house is entered by a small vestibule off which is a loo and washbasin and a glazed door leading into the salon. The entire property is oil-fired centrally-heated but in the salon is a very efficient wood-burning stove (handy for cooking soups and casseroles in winter!). The salon has a large fitted cupboard and storage under the staircase which is oak and dog-legged. The floor is tiled. A glazed door leads into the dining-kitchen. This is not state-of-the-art but has a good range of oak fitments and a gas/electric cooker. The walls are half-tiled and the floor is tiled and there is a water-softener. A glazed and shuttered door gives onto the lane at the side of the house. Another door leads into the large utility room which houses a cold-water sink and the central-heating boiler. From this room a door leads into a courtyard and spacious covered verandah with access to a two-storey workshop. Upstairs is a square landing containing a large walk-in wardrobe and three double-bedrooms, one of which has a built-in cupboar. A fourth room (which could be a single bedroom) is currently used as a dressing-room and ironing room. It has loads of storage, a Velux window and a cupboard housing the immersion heater. Off the landing is a tiled shower-room with loo and washbasin. Apart from the shower-room the floors are all chestnut floorboards. The pretty courtyard is very sunny and private and has a double gate with right-of-way onto the street. As well as various flowering bushes there is a small (very small!) fishpond. Double French doors (with louvred shutters) open into the summer sitting-room. This pleasant room has oak floorboards, an open fire-place and a corner kitchen. A bathroom with bath and over-bath shower, washbasin and loo is off this room. An oak staircase takes you up to two double-bedrooms (one with large fitted cupboard) and another lavatory. Outside, there is a path from the courtyard to the garden. This is not large by French standards but divided into two sections, both very well-stocked with fruit trees, a grape vine, raspberries, gooseberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants and strawberries. There is a stone potting shed with a pretty covered patio overlooking the countryside.
