THE PROPERTY
Brewsters is an outstanding and highly versatile town centre home that was built around 17 years ago by Mothersole Builders for the current owners to a very high standard and specification. The property offers luxurious comfort and space throughout being over 4,300 sq ft and connects to No.10 Sparhawk Street, a Grade II listed building with character features.

Brewsters presents a buff brick double fronted main elevation under a slate tiled roof with subservient rendered frontage incorporating the gated under croft access, under a clay pantile roof with charming characterful Driel window feature and side door access. No.10 Sparhawk Street is attached to the rear of Brewsters and is believed to date back to the C16th being timber framed with a rendered, jettied front elevation under a plain tiled roof to the front.

The spacious, well designed and arranged accommodation that Brewsters offers, benefits in the main from high quality hard wood timber framed double glazing and gas fired underfloor central heating to the ground and first floor and radiator heating to the second floor. The Sparhawk Street portion of the property enjoys double glazing to the extension, with secondary glazing to the front and single glazing to the rear with radiator central heating.

The accommodation in brief, leads in from the columned front porch and panelled front door with window light above, into a gracious entrance hall which features the stairs to the first floor, ½ glazed double doors into the kitchen/breakfast room and dining room and doors to a well-appointed cloakroom and understairs storage cupboard housing the underfloor heating manifold. The kitchen/breakfast/family room is well located within the home and has doors leading out to the under croft, rear terrace and parking areas and glazed double doors into the sitting room. Fitted with a comprehensive range of bespoke hand built ‘Bryan Turner’ base and eye level units with polished granite worksurfaces, underset sink, gas fired Aga range cooker with electric Aga mate to the side, integrated Fisher & Paykel drawer dishwasher, Neff microwave oven, oversized fridge/freezer and an island unit. Of particular note is the floor hatch that lifts to give access to a spiral staircase leading down to a ‘cylinder’ wine store. The room enjoys a lantern roof light and benefits from an air conditioning unit. The sitting room features French doors out to the rear courtyard garden and doors to a cloakroom and former kitchen (No.10 Sparhawk St) now used as a utility/store. A door leads down to a fabulous brick lined arched cellar below. There is also a games room and study which open from the Sparhawk Street entrance and stairs lead up to two exceptionally comfortable bedrooms, a landing room and two bath/shower rooms.

Continuing on the ground floor, separate from the main house and accessed from the rear, under croft and front side door is a utility room, bedroom and a shower wet room.

On the first floor the landing with stained glass porthole window to the rear gives access to the master bedroom suite, drawing room and a cloakroom.

The drawing room is well-proportioned with a wonderful outlook over St Mary’s church to the front and through French doors to the rear to a roof terrace. The room enjoys a semi-vaulted ceiling with speakers and downlighters and there is an open fireplace with stone mantle and surround, currently housing a log effect gas fire. The master bedroom has a double aspect to the front and side and enjoys views over St Mary’s church, The Great Churchyard and Cathedral Tower beyond. The room benefits from built-in and walk-in wardrobes and there is an en-suite bathroom with a bath, shower, double bowl wash basin unit, wc and bidet.

On the second floor there are two bedrooms and a shower room.
