4 bedroom terraced house

Well, this is bound to set pulses racing. It certainly did mine! These are some of the words that sprang to mind at my first visit: beautifully presented... stylish... attractive... impressive... tasteful… This really is a gem of a house that just keeps on shining.
This is a property that is still packed with many beautiful and characteristic features typical of an Edwardian house: high ceilings, skirtings, architraves, cornices, numerous fireplaces, a leaded and stained-glass entry door, and the staircases to name a few.
It is fabulous to see how "the new" has been skillfully and sympathetically blended with "the old", communicating effortlessly with calming outside space for relaxation and entertaining. The result is a house that will be the envy of many, and will enable you to have a fabulous lifestyle. But don't take my word for it...book yourself an appointment, and I will see you there at the open viewing. This is the one that you simply must add to your shopping list.


So let's tell you all about this house.

Having parked outside the property and walked up the pathway, your guided tour will start by entering through the front door which gives access to the vestibule, through a leaded and stained-glass inner door, to a lovely hallway.

First on the left will take you into an elegant living room where treats such as a period fireplace, a super bay window (with bespoke, timber-framed double glazing), a high ceiling (2.89m high) and lovely cornices await you.

Second left off the hallway will take you into a beautiful open plan 5.5m dining kitchen. Here contemporary meets character, and what a lovely couple they make (check out the photos).

From here you can access the back garden or continue into the depths of the house by proceeding down the staircase to the lower ground floor.

I suppose in Edwardian times this may well have been a kitchen or perhaps the servant's quarters. Not now though...what a pleasant surprise to see the conversion that has taken place down here!
The main floor area has been made split-level to clearly define a second living room area and a family area. Also located here is a purpose-built, high-quality sauna and, of course, the obligatory shower room, with WC. Plenty of storage too.



Back in the ground floor hallway, proceeding up the stairs will whisk you up to the first floor which gives access to the first-floor rooms.

The master bedroom is certainly not outdone by the elegance of the living room; lovely twin windows (also with bespoke, timber-framed double glazing), picture rails and cornices to match those of the room below. I certainly would not be rushing to get out of bed on weekend mornings.
The second bedroom is located at the rear of the house and again has some nice period features. A cute bathroom with a white suite finishes this floor off just nicely.

A ‘return' staircase, which has a half landing, will take you up the second floor.

Two further double bedrooms await you here.
The rear bedroom has a large modern-style dormer with the front one having the Edwardian version.

The house has a garden to the front and a lovely south-facing enclosed smallish back garden with two productive apple trees. A sun-worshipper's paradise! The garden gives access to a narrow service road that runs across the rear of the terrace.



So there you have it: one of Chapel Allerton's hidden gems. Book yourself an appointment, and I will see you there at the open viewing.

Ornate cornice and picture rail.

  5.57m x 4.22m (23.5 sqm) - 18' 3" x 13' 10" (253 sqft)
  
  (Maximum measurements.) Here contemporary meets character, and you can clearly see that they make a lovely couple. Character and charm are sympathetically blended with modern kitchen fittings, such as a Neff multi-function microwave oven, full-size fan-assisted oven, integrated fridge, freezer and induction hob, with an extraction system built into the chimney. I simply love the period cupboard units built into the left-hand side of the chimney breast ... a delight to see!
  
  There is a Belfast-style sink (by Armitage Shanks) which has a mixer tap and is complemented by granite worktops. Lovely high ceilings, inset ceiling lighting, picture rails and double panel radiator. The Karndean parquet-style flooring flows effortlessly throughout. UPVC double-glazed windows, very much in keeping with the character of this room. There is a door to the back garden and a door to the ...
  
  
• 05 - Lower Ground Floor
  
  ... and what hidden gems you will find! First of all, the whole of this floor has been skilfully and tastefully converted. The main areas have been converted to a raised living room style area (5.02 x 3.27) which has built-in cupboards and fitted shelving. There is a walk-in cupboard with light and power supply ... even space for wine storage. Polished wooden flooring, double panel radiator, uplighting and a small window.
  
  One step down takes you to another great family area (4.68 x 3.62) which is packed with charming features like the range built into the chimney breast, the Armitage Shanks sink unit and cupboards. There is plumbing for an automatic washer, and a cosy cupboard under the stairs. Tiled flooring and two double-panel radiators. Inset ceiling lighting and double-glazed windows to the rear elevation. There is a fitted cupboard housing the gas-fired central heating boiler.
  
  And that's not all...
  Who would have thought that there would be a quality, purpose-built sauna, measuring 1.75m x 1.25m.
  
  When nicely toasted, two strides will take you into a ...
  
  Fully tiled shower room (1.43m x 1.24m), which has a mains-fed corner shower unit with rail and curtain. Low-Level W.C., extractor fan and radiator.

  4.83m x 3.89m (18.7 sqm) - 15' 10" x 12' 9" (202 sqft)
  
  This is a bedroom to die for. With twin double-glazed windows to the front elevation, it also has a bright and airy feel to it. Elegance abounds, typified by lovely deep cornices, picture rail, and a double panel radiator. The houses opposite are well set back, so a good degree of privacy is afforded too!
  
  
• 08 - Bedroom 2
  
  4.73m x 2.99m (14.1 sqm) - 15' 6" x 9' 9" (152 sqft)
  
  The first thing you notice with this room is the lovely feature fireplace. The next is how bright it is ...to be expected, as it is south-facing. Again, like bedroom 1, there are cornices and dado rails., wood flooring, radiator, and double-glazed windows to the rear elevation.
  
  
• 09 - Bathroom
  
  1.93m x 1.72m (3.3 sqm) - 6' 3" x 5' 7" (35 sqft)
  
  There is a white suite comprising cast iron panelled bath, which has a mains-fed shower unit above, rail and curtain. The pedestal handwash basin is exactly what you would expect in an Edwardian house, matched by a low-level W.C. The walls and floor are fully-tiled. There is an extractor fan, radiator and double-glazed window to the rear elevation.
  
  From the landing there is a staircase to the 2nd floor.
  
  
• 10 - Landing

  4.59m x 3.87m (17.8 sqm) - 15' 1" x 12' 8" (191 sqft)
  
  (Maximum measurements.) Again, we have a feature fireplace similar to that of the one in bedroom 2. A super design feature is the typical Edwardian dormer...a nice touch...which makes for a lovely feel to the room. There is a double-panel radiator and double-glazed windows. The insulation to this floor has been enhanced by the addition of Kingspan insulation boards.
  
  
• 13 - Exterior
  
  FRONT. Typical to these properties, there is a garden area to the front, with mature shrubs and hedges, and a path that leads up to the front door.
  
  
• 14 - Exterior
  
  REAR. The back garden is compact, enclosed and south-facing...a little gem of "me" space for the sun worshipper, but room enough for outside dining or BBQs. There are also two very productive apple trees here.
