A four-bedroom house has today gone on sale for more than double the price it was sold for 23 years ago.

The semi-detached house on Bath Road in the Old Town has gone on sale for £725,000, more than double its 2001 price of £306,000.

The house is described as ‘picturesque and imposing’, and features a secret subterranean bar in the cellar, with an attached family room.

Also installed is a separate outbuilding currently used as a home office.

The house has undergone a refurbishment, which involved modernising its appearance and fitting a new garage and bathrooms.

However, the house also features original features, such as open fireplaces in the drawing room and big sitting room, as well as original garden walls.
