Rooms

In more detail
From the solid oak floors and doors to the subtle heritage tones of the tasteful colourful scheme, this period townhouse has been lovingly renovated with a wonderful attention to detail and comes complete with its original parchment deeds. Dating back to the 1830s when the street was originally built, this house went on to be heavily featured in the 2008 film 'Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging' starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson and comedian Alan Davies.

Ground floor
A demi-glazed solid oak door opens onto a distinguished yet welcoming living/dining room where sash bay windows look out onto the quiet street amply lighting the open plan space. Generously proportioned, an exposed brick fireplace with its cast iron wood burner adds to the charm and character of the house, while French doors open directly onto an enclosed courtyard garden. Sleek granite countertops with their etched drainer grooves nestle beneath textured cream metro tiles in the bespoke family-sized kitchen. Fully fitted with a wealth of Shaker-style cabinets and an under-mounted Armitage Shanks butler sink, a well-appointed array of integrated appliances includes a contemporary Smeg oven and hob. A tall Velux rooflight lets natural light down on the ideal place for a breakfast table, while contemporary bi-fold doors offer further access to the courtyard garden, perfectly extending this sociable and versatile ground floor still further.

Upstairs
A double glazed sash bay window in the master bedroom offers further views of the surrounding period properties. Deep chimney breast alcoves and a wall of tasteful fitted wardrobes emphasise the ample space that this room has to offer. The refined décor adds to the feeling of peace and relaxation, while air-conditioning keeps you cool during the summer. The soft tones of the master continue in the adjacent double bedroom where a picture-perfect sash window offers views of the garden below. On the half landing a solid oak tongue and groove door opens to reveal a perfectly proportioned family bathroom arranged in a pale stone tile setting. A traditional Burlington basin features crosshead Beaumont taps, while a rose head shower flows into an inset bath for an added touch of luxury. A separate utility room/WC discreetly houses a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Outside
The impressive black iron railings, topiary and coastal pebbles of the front garden create an instant wow factor that is equally matched by the interior of this townhouse. To the rear of the property, the heritage Farrow & Ball colour scheme continues into a walled courtyard garden complementing the Indian slate floor and creating an idyllic retreat from the hubbub of daily life. Peaceful and private with ample space for a table, it is a perfect outdoor space to entertain or to enjoy the weekend papers while you listen to the gentle sound of the birds singing. A timber shed offers additional storage space.

Seller insight
"We'd been trying for a number of years to buy a house on this road and when we first saw this house nearly seven years ago everything was pink - both inside and out. We've always loved this street, especially this side of it with all the little gardens at the front of each house and we love the feeling it offers of not being in the city even though were right in the centre of it. We'll genuinely miss our very sweet neighbours who have lived on the street for years and were only moving to be nearer to my parents. We put our heart and soul into this house. We did everything ourselves to the highest standards thinking that this would be our forever home."
