About this maisonette

The top two floors of a narrow brick house, five minutes from the market square.

Saltergate is the narrowest lane in the Old Town and one of the quietest, a cobbled run between the market square and the churchyard. Number 31 is a brick merchant’s house split into three homes, and this one has the top two floors and its own front door.

The living room is at the front, with a wide window onto the lane. The kitchen and bathroom are at the back, and the bedroom has the view over the rooftops. Beams cross every ceiling; the brick has been left bare where it was good enough.

It is a straightforward first purchase: a long lease, a modest service charge and no chain.

Features

  • Own front door onto a cobbled lane
  • Original beams and exposed brickwork
  • Double bedroom with a large sash window
  • 125 year lease from 2020
  • No onward chain
  • Ideal first home or pied-a-terre
