The Property

This charming period cottage is a superb example of its type, offering beautifully presented accommodation over two light and spacious floors. On the ground floor there are two very comfortable inter-connecting reception rooms, a sitting room and a dining room. The sitting room features an exposed brick chimney breast with an inset log-burner and fitted storage cupboards and shelving to the alcoves. Both rooms have attractive wooden flooring, and the dining room has a useful recessed office space, while also leading to the garden via French doors.

Beyond the dining room is a superbly presented kitchen/breakfast room, shaker style cabinetry is combined with beech block counter tops, a feature ceramic sink, tiling to both the floor and splashback areas and integrated appliances including a gas hob, electric oven, extractor, fridge/freezer, wine cooler, washing machine and dishwasher. A further door to the back garden is then followed by a stylishly appointed shower room.

To the first floor are two very well-proportioned double bedrooms, the principal bedroom at the front of the house has another pretty exposed brick chimney breast with fitted wardrobes either side, and a further fitted wardrobe can be found in the second bedroom, also a double, with an area used as further home office workspace. Access via a hatch leads to the loft space above.

Throughout, the house combines many lovely character features, combined with well-considered neutral interior design, and every home comfort, including a recently refitted gas fired combi-boiler to central heating via recently refitted radiators, a log burner in the sitting room, double glazing throughout, and low energy lighting throughout.

Outside

Outside, the house sits behind a painted brick-built façade beneath a pitched roof. To the rear of the house is a well-proportioned garden. Enjoying a westerly aspect there is a central lawn, and two paved terraces, one immediately to the rear of the house and one at the far end of the garden, both providing the ideal space for al-fresco dining and entertaining. The garden is surrounded by fenced boundaries, some planting to beds, and last, but certainly not least, a gate leads to a private block-paved driveway, providing the very rare advantage of off-street parking for one car, with access from Dalton Street, Location

Bernard Street is a highly sought after residential road in a popular and convenient central conservation area location within easy reach of the city centre, mainline station, highly regarded schools, and extensive local amenities.
