6 Hill Street has undergone a programme of renovation, with some rooms still requiring attention. The current owners have retained the character and traditional features of the home. Access to the property is through a traditional wood-panelled door into the hall, which gives access to the living room, dining kitchen, ground-floor bedroom/sitting room, and staircase to the first floor. The hall has exposed wood floorboards which continue through to the living room.
Full details
The living room is a dual-aspect room with windows to the front and the side, overlooking High Street, where a sea view can be enjoyed from the window seat. The focal point of the room is the cast-iron open fire with tiled hearth and wooden surround. A shelved cupboard provides storage. The living room has a door into the dining kitchen and a glazed double door into the rear vestibule.
The kitchen is accessed from the hall as well as the living room and has a window overlooking the rear garden. It features a mix of wooden and laminate worktops with freestanding cupboards below, as well as fixed shelving. A large ceramic sink sits within its own unit, and there is a slot-in electric oven with extractor above. There is ample space for a dining set.
The ground-floor bedroom/sitting room retains many traditional features, including deep skirtings, decorative coving, picture rail, ceiling rose with thistle motif, and window panelling at the front-facing window. This room also has exposed floorboards.
Also on the ground floor is the rear vestibule, which accesses the utility/store room. The vestibule has a glazed door to the rear garden and a wooden door into the utility room. The utility has plumbing for a washing machine and also houses the boiler and a large ceramic sink. A frosted window overlooks High Street.
The first floor is accessed by a traditional wooden staircase with painted treads, newel posts, and spindles, with a carpet runner leading to the landing. The landing has a roof window to the front of the property and accesses both bedrooms and the bathroom.
Bedroom 1 is a large double with a bay window and deep display sill to the front of the property, painted in a heritage green with a complementary fitted carpet. Bedroom 2 is also a large double and is currently utilised as an additional sitting room. It has exposed floorboards, a wooden fire surround, a built-in wardrobe, and a door to the rear porch.
