Description

4 BARTON HILL is an impressive and deceptively substantial Grade II listed period townhouse built of local stone elevations under a tiled roof. The property has been loved and enjoyed by the same family for many years offering versatile and adaptable accommodation arranged over three floors comprising of five large bedrooms, a sitting room, study, dining room, lounge, kitchen, utility room, shower room and a cellar. Presented in good order through out the property now offers the right buyer a unique opportunity to make their own mark by way of cosmetic refurbishment, remodelling the existing layout or even converting the second floor into a self contained flat (subject to necessary permissions).

Situated conveniently close to the town centre with all High Street amenities a short level walk away, the property further benefits from a large private rear garden, the unique advantage of gated off road parking for multiple vehicles, no onward chain and original character features.
