38c Hound Street is a top floor apartment, forming part of a Victorian building which was once part of Fosters School (the former boys grammar school in the town) and which was converted in the 1990’s into three apartments, one on each floor. This residence would be ideal for anyone looking to move into the heart of the town, or living part of the year abroad and wanting a secure ‘lock up and leave’ home. This apartment has excellent proportions, with high ceilings, picture rails and sash windows. This is complimented by recent upgrades to both the fitted kitchen and en suite facilities.
A communal entrance with lift and stairs serves the apartments and is in good decorative order. The apartment has its own landing, with access into a wide entrance hall with all rooms leading off. The sitting room is light and dual aspect, with southerly and westerly views over the town. There is also a feature fireplace with gas fire inset. The fitted kitchen/ breakfast room has a host of comprehensive modern units, pantry, electric oven and hob, with under counter space for white goods. There are two excellent double bedrooms, both having the benefit of fitted wardrobes. The principle bedroom has the benefit of a sizeable en suite shower. The apartment also offers a separate WC. A large loft hatch with folding ladder in the hallway leads up to a large attic space which is an excellent storage space and it is thought that, subject to any necessary consents, this attic could be converted into additional accommodation if so desired.
