Eastgate is located within an easy walk of the town centre, with its wide grass verges and mature avenue of lime trees, planted to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. It is made up of mostly older period properties, with No.43 being a Grade II listed cottage within the conservation area of Eastgate.

For more than 30 years this cottage has been used as a much-loved second home by the vendors, and all the fittings and furniture (with the exception of a few items of sentimental value) are being offered by negotiation. The living accommodation is over two floors with a charming sitting room to the front of the cottage with shelved alcoves and a coal effect gas fire within a stone fireplace. A dining room then links with a good quality, solid wood under granite 'Stirling Jones' fitted kitchen with a rear door and windows overlooking the courtyard garden. Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a white suite bathroom. From the landing a hatch with pull down ladders offers access to a useful boarded, loft room.

The rear walled courtyard offers a private and sheltered area to sit out or dine. It is lined with herbaceous well stocked beds, gloriously colourful hydrangea plants and has a built-in stone and stainless steel BBQ. There is also a gated footpath that allows access, by foot, to Hawthorn lane.
