Step Inside

The house presents a smart façade to the street, with its decorative cornicing, porticos and pretty bays. Inside, an entrance vestibule leads through to the hallway and from there to the two reception rooms, with the kitchen located on a slightly lower level at the rear.

The main reception room/family room, is spacious, front facing and illuminated by impressive bay windows. Original wooden flooring runs underfoot, a wood burning stove sits at its heart with period cornicing across the high ceilings. The heritage fabric of this room lends a welcoming elegance. A series of shelves, built-in units and wall spaces provide useful storage and an opportunity to display art.

The second reception room sits behind the main room. Currently utilised as a family/music room, this space would also work as a more formal dining room or large study.

The kitchen, which lies to the rear of the floorplan, is a bright spacious room, well-appointed, overlooking the pretty rear garden and leading through to a glass conservatory to its right. An open concept design with the dining/breakfast space on entry leading to the cook space, both areas given their dual identities by clever use of contrasting flooring materials and fabrications but tonally linked. The kitchen employs a considered palette; contemporary materials including UrbnRok recycled glass worktops worktops and pale dove décor throughout. Minimalist units provide a smart backdrop and ground the space. A one and a half bowl sink sits beneath the window that draws light in from the garden, and the grey slate effect floor tiles create harmony, pulling the room together to create a cohesive environment. A range of integrated appliances complete the functionality.

Glazed doors lead out from the kitchen space to the conservatory, built to extend the floor plan laterally and provide a bright seating/storage/utility room plus a throughway to the garden. Dual aspect French doors enable access to both the side of the house, perfect for bikes, sports equipment or muddy feet or paws, and to the idyllic landscaped garden.

First floor – A family bathroom together with the third double bedroom sits on a mezzanine level as the stairs ascend to the first floor, with the second double bedroom plus sizeable primary room situated on the first floor proper.

The primary bedroom is located to the front of the property with an abundance of space for storage and plenty of natural light flow through the large bay and additional window. High ceilings and period cornicing add a charm to this expansive room. The arrangement of this space offers potential for a luxury ensuite if required.
Both of the additional bedrooms are good sized doubles, with a contemporary family bathroom well-appointed for shared use.

The loft is yet to be converted and offers exciting options for a good size double room with eaves storage.

Step outside

A pretty walled landscaped garden at the rear offers a great space to suit all family requirements . Currently paved with a patio area, brick pathways, planters and some beautiful well-established trees and shrubs, it is the ideal place to enjoy al fresco dining and relaxing afternoons in the summer sun.
