Carisbrooke is an outstanding semi-detached two/three bedroom Victorian home (Circa 1870), well presented throughout, situated in a highly desirable location within easy reach of local shops and restaurants, Walton centre, mainline station (10 mins walk, Waterloo 23+ mins) and river walks/cycle rides to Hampton Court and beyond.

This property offers spacious accommodation (1,677 sq. ft), a wealth of character features and high specification modern additions. Historically, owned by Mr. Sidney himself, the house was associated with a nearby manor, and is one of the last remaining original properties of the street. This unique home also offers scope to extend, if required, subject to usual consents.

The ground floor has a large reception hall/study leading to an inner hall. There is a bright double aspect living room, a generous kitchen/diner, front aspect bedroom/reception room, and a cloakroom. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a superb shower room with walk-in shower. Since their occupancy the current owners have introduced numerous upgrades to the house. Modernisation includes new solid floors (ground floor, except cloakroom), and Reeve engineered ash flooring for the majority of downstairs. Additional works include new slate roof tiles, electrics, and plumbing, all circa 2011. Most ground floor windows have been replaced with ‘long-life’ Accoya wood, multi-point locking, double glazed windows, retaining the original style and colour.

Upstairs, windows are either refurbished (double glazed), Accoya wood double glazing or practical UPVC units (two to rear elevation). Apart from the side entrance, all external doors are also of Accoya solid wood construction. The kitchen/diner has been remodelled with a high specification German Schüller kitchen complete with Silestone quartz worktops, tiled flooring with two zone underfloor heating, French doors opening out onto the rear garden, and the introduction of a Velux window in a vaulted ceiling section.

Heating is gas fired to radiators, supplemented with touch control Devi electric underfloor heating to the kitchen/diner and the first-floor shower room, plus wood burning stoves in the living room and kitchen. There is an abundance of character features throughout the house including high ceilings associated with the period, original stained glass, ornate coving and plasterwork, hand-carved woodwork, fabulous panelled decorative doors with original brass door furniture, plus feature fire surrounds in several rooms.

Outside, the property has off road parking for two cars, plus front, side, and rear gardens (total plot 0.139 acre). The rear garden is approximately 96 ft, south-west facing, designed for year-round interest with particularly well stocked flower and shrub borders. There is space for a home office, as required.
