Description
BRIEF DESCRIPTION ** This delightful Grade II Listed townhouse, dating back in parts to the 18th century, is brimming with character and period charm. Originally part of the historic White House School, the property features classic sash windows, exposed beams, elegant fireplaces, and solid wood flooring throughout. Ideally located within easy walking distance of the town centre and local schools, the house is arranged over four floors and offers spacious, versatile accommodation. On the ground floor, an impressive entrance hall with wood flooring leads to a welcoming lounge and a separate dining room, which opens directly onto the rear garden. The kitchen is well-appointed and includes a staircase that leads down to a generous basement. This lower level currently serves as a utility and laundry area and also benefits from a convenient toilet. The first floor comprises two bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a sitting room, along with a family bathroom featuring a heritage-style suite. A further staircase leads to the second floor, where two additional bedrooms and a second bathroom provide ample space for family or guests. Outside, the property enjoys a charming enclosed rear garden, mainly laid to lawn with a paved patio area and a variety of mature shrubs and plants. To the rear, there are two private parking spaces, adding further practicality to this elegant and historic home.

Known for its strong sense of community spirit and historic character, Whitchurch is home to a diverse range of independent shops, four major supermarkets and other well-known national retailers, ensuring residents and visitors alike have everything they need close at hand. Education is well catered for, with both primary and secondary schools in town and the surrounding villages, making it a great choice for families. The town also boasts a recently constructed health centre which also stands next to a brand new retirement development for over 55s looking to embrace retirement in the area. There is also a recently constructed leisure complex featuring an inclusive swimming pool and a range of fitness facilities for all. The renowned Hill Valley Hotel, Golf & Spa is located on the outskirts of the town which also offers great recreational amenities.
