Set across three levels and extending to around 2,000 sqft, this double‑fronted stone end‑terrace offers unusually large living space for Market Street. The house combines period character — exposed beams and a traditional fireplace — with practical updates reported by the current owner, including an air source heat pump, full re‑wire and wall insulation. A private lawned garden and patio capture open countryside views and make this a good option for families who value outdoor access and room to grow.
The layout includes an open‑plan lounge/kitchen/diner plus additional lower‑ground reception rooms, giving flexible space for home working, play or formal entertaining. Three first‑floor bedrooms and a single family bathroom sit above living areas; the overall room count and generous proportions present scope for reconfiguration or enhancement to contemporary standards.
Buyers should weigh several material considerations. The property is in a broadly deprived area with a high local crime rate and a medium flooding risk — these factors affect insurance and upkeep costs. Heating details are mixed in the information provided: an air source heat pump is recorded, but main heating is also listed as portable electric heaters for most rooms, so confirm the current heating setup. The building is a pre‑1900 stone construction; some insulation and ongoing maintenance work may be required depending on inspection findings.
This freehold period house will suit a family or buyer seeking roomy, characterful accommodation with countryside access and potential for modernisation. Early viewing is recommended to assess condition, confirm energy and heating arrangements, and appreciate the scale of accommodation and garden.</p>
