The Property
Originally constructed in the 1930s, 97 Thorpe Road, is a beautifully appointed detached family home which was extensively extended and refurbished in 2017. It retains original features such as the picture rail and doors which have been replicated throughout and the property now boasts flexible accommodation with up to five bedrooms.
The well-proportioned sitting room has a woodburning stove, full-height windows and French doors opening onto the rear garden, with the family room also offering French doors onto the patio area. Additionally, there is a home gym or study at the front. The L-shaped kitchen and dining area is a splendid space in which to relax or entertain. It has bi-fold doors opening to the garden, wooden parquet flooring, modern kitchen units and a range cooker.
There are four comfortable double bedrooms on the first floor, including the principal bedroom with its balcony, dressing area and en suite shower room. Two further bedrooms have their own washbasins, with the first floor also including a family bathroom. There is also a loft room with its own shower room, which could be used as a fifth bedroom if required.

At the front of the property, security gates open onto the gravel driveway, which offers plenty of parking space for several vehicles. The rear garden is south-facing and extends to approximately 200ft. There is an area of paved terracing across the back of the house, including a timber-framed pergola for shade. Beyond, the well-maintained lawn is bordered by established shrubs, hedgerows and trees. There is also a children’s climbing frame, a shed, a greenhouse and a summer house, while towards the end of the garden there is a wild meadow leading to a stream at the boundary. The property has an electric car charger and solar panels.
