A well-proportioned Edwardian townhouse with characterful accommodation, within half a mile of the town

THE PROPERTY.
53 Temple Street is a particularly handsome mid-terrace residence which is located in a convenient position within a fairly level, half a mile walk of the High Street. There is also access to The Byes about 200 yards away, which offers a picturesque route to the town through its beautiful parkland and footpath which meanders alongside the River Sid.

The property itself was built circa 1901 and is a classic example of an Edwardian townhouse with its double height bay and cream coloured brick quoins. It is of traditional construction with brick and rendered elevations under a principally slated roof (which has been re-roofed in the past 5 years) and benefits from uPVC double glazed windows and mains gas central heating. The accommodation is well-proportioned and retains a wealth of character with features including a number a period fireplaces, picture rails, stripped pine floors and high ceilings. It has been the subject of a programme of refurbishment in more recent years and we understand that the electrics and plumbing have been upgraded, as well as the refitment of the main bathroom and en-suite shower room, and a new roof to the breakfast room.

53 Temple Street benefits from two spacious reception rooms and also a breakfast room which was added by the current owner. This opens into the kitchen which is fitted with pine-fronted units under bamboo worktops and has a larder/refrigerator cupboard. To the first floor there is a superb principal bedroom with a bay window with views to Salcombe Hill and an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is another delightful room which has a door giving access to a balcony. To the second floor is a third double bedroom which has a double aspect and eaves storage.

OUTSIDE.
To the rear of the property, and accessed via a shared walkway, is a small area of garden with a timber garden shed.

SITUATION.
