This attractive Grade II listed 17th-century townhouse combines period character with recent modernisation, creating a compact and comfortable town-centre home. Low ceilings, exposed beams and original fireplaces give the principal rooms strong historic charm, while the modern kitchen, utility and recent gas combi boiler make day-to-day living straightforward.
Practical benefits are clear: a long south-facing walled garden, greenhouse and detached single garage provide rare outdoor space and secure parking right behind the property. The cellar and boarded attic add useful storage or hobby space, and the town centre location puts shops, rail station and Abbey Gardens within easy walking distance.
A frank note on constraints: the Grade II listing means alterations will be restricted and may require listed‑building consents. The timber‑frame construction (originally without insulation) and character features mean insulation and some modern upgrades could be limited or costly. The EPC is currently D (potential C).
Overall this newly renovated, characterful townhouse will suit a buyer who values central location, period detail and outdoor space, and is comfortable with the practical realities of owning a listed older home.
