A pretty two bedroom terraced cottage situated in a quiet riverside setting only a short walk away from the town, seafront and beaches.
This charming period cottage (in a terrace of 4) is believed to have been built about 200 years ago as an artisans cottage for the local silk mill. The walls are principally of stone, rendered externally beneath a tiled roof. The cottage has been carefully modernised and is an attractively presented character home. It is successfully holiday let and this arrangement can continue if the purchaser is seeking an investment property/holiday retreat.
The property enjoys a delightful setting backing into the River Lym, well away from busy traffic and just a few minutes level walk alongside the river and through the picturesque old town (Mill Green and Coombe Street) to the town centre shops and seafront.
The accommodation with double glazing throughout is accessed via front door into the sitting room with feature woodburning stove, underfloor heating and window seat that look onto the gardens.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern shaker style units with fitted appliances including electric induction hob and oven, fridge and dishwasher. Larder cupboard with space and plumbing for a washing machine. A bathroom with panelled bath with shower unit, WC, wash hand basin, tiled flooring and electric ladder style radiator/towel rail completes the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor benefits from two double bedrooms both with storage cupboards and the main bedroom looking over the communal gardens.
Outside
The cottage enjoys a quiet and picturesque setting with a southerly aspect. Adjacent to the front is a sunny verandah and the delightful communal gardens which include lawn, shrubs and trees and which is screened from the lane by a substantial stone wall. There is a pedestrian gate from the riverside walk leading through the gardens to the cottages. The tiny River Lym runs along the lower side.
