Charming period house with private south facing garden in a superb setting close to the centre of town
60 Hepburn Gardens forms the south-west corner enjoying a south-facing aspect over the gardens. The property is one of four houses dating from the late 1800s. Constructed of stone beneath a traditional slate roof, the property is distinguished by attractive bay windows to the front elevation. To the west elevation, an attractive brick-built utility/garden room opens onto a courtyard.
The property benefits from recently refurbished double-glazed windows throughout, while a striking cupola floods the hallway with natural light. The beautifully proportioned rooms retain an abundance of period charm, including original cornicing and fireplaces.
A paved pathway leads to the front entrance, framed by a stone pediment. Beyond the front door, a tiled vestibule with a glazed inner door opens into an L-shaped reception hall, featuring a WC and a useful understairs cloak cupboard fitted with hooks and hanging rails.
The drawing room, situated to the left, enjoys a bay window overlooking the south facing garden and a gas coal-effect fire set within a Victorian fireplace with tiled insets and a wooden mantel. This is complemented by a south-facing dining room, which also features a charming period fireplace.
A high-quality kitchen features a central island and sleek black granite worktops. Integrated appliances include a Falcon electric range cooker, sink, Miele dishwasher and fridge. An archway leads through to the utility/garden room, which benefits from two Velux windows and is fitted with a washing machine, tumble dryer, sink and fridge-freezer. A half-glazed door opens onto the paved courtyard, where there is an external store and a gate onto the path.
The first-floor landing benefits from an excellent storage cupboard with hanging rails. The principal bedroom enjoys a south-facing bay window, decorative cornicing, and a feature fireplace. Its en suite bathroom is fully tiled and fitted with a bath with shower over, WC, and wash hand basin. Two further generous bedrooms are located on this floor, along with a second well-appointed tiled bathroom.
On the second floor are two further bedrooms, together with a shower room. Bedroom four benefits from a dormer window and built-in wardrobe. Bedroom five also features a dormer window and provides access to a useful storeroom housing the Viessmann gas-fired boiler.
Gardens
60 Hepburn Gardens enjoys a delightful south-facing garden. Immediately outside the house is a paved terrace. Beyond lies a generous lawn bordered by flower beds and mature shrubs, creating a private setting. A high fence forms the boundary, and a garden shed is positioned in one corner.
At the end of the garden path is a shared outer garden, jointly owned by the proprietors of 54, 56, 58 and 60 Hepburn Gardens. No. 60 benefits from its own vegetable patch, fruit trees and an additional garden shed within this shared space.
