17 Fore Street

About this property

Painted a cheerful butter yellow in a street of pinks and blues, 17 Fore Street is Old Town living as it should be. The front door opens into a snug sitting room, with a second reception behind it that works as a dining room or home office. The kitchen runs across the back with French doors onto a walled courtyard garden, and upstairs there are three bedrooms - two doubles and a good single - plus a family bathroom.

Fore Street is a short stroll from the Thursday market, the independent shops on Chapel Lane and the harbour beyond. Like most of the Old Town the parking is residents' permit only, and the landlord has kept the traditional timber sashes, which were overhauled and repainted last spring - they look right and they run smoothly. The house is offered unfurnished, so you can make it your own.

Available from 1 August on a 12-month assured shorthold tenancy, with pets considered by negotiation - tell us what you have and we will ask the question properly rather than fob you off. Rent is exclusive of bills. A holding deposit of one week's rent applies, and the tenancy deposit, equivalent to five weeks' rent, is protected in a government-approved scheme. References and right-to-rent checks are required for all adult occupants.
