" This handsome semi-detached town house is thought to date back to 1897, the year in which Queen Victoria celebrated her Diamond Jubilee but also the year the first publication of "Country Life" magazine went on sale. Although this home is certainly of that calibre, its premium position within the Dry Hill area is possibly a little too central. On approaching the house the wrought iron balcony effect and sash windows show off the property's fabulous character. The quarry tile flooring to the Porch and glazed wood front door are small features but add to the splendour. The Entrance Hall is long and has a high ceiling typical of the period. The Sitting Room and Dining Area stretch to nearly 30ft. with feature fireplaces and sash windows overlooking the garden. The modern fitted Kitchen and Breakfast Room is a real focal point for this family home providing a great space for family meals and entertaining alike. Behind the Kitchen is a very useful Utility Room. To the first floor there is a Master Bedroom with en suite Shower Room, two further double Bedrooms and a family Bathroom. On the second floor there are two double Bedrooms. External benefits include an attractive paved driveway with off-road parking for 2/3 vehicles. The rear garden is laid to lawn and patio and there is side access to the front of the house.

Location
Occupying a fine position in a sought-after conservation area on the northern side of the town conveniently located for the town centre and about three quarters of a mile from the main line station.
