The Property
 
Rain Porch - The triple arched red brick Porch with decorative blue and buff detailing and Indian sandstone paving offers an elegant yet practical entry and shelters the new Front Door.
 
Entrance Hall - In a charming nod to the highly decorative quarry tiles common to grand Victorian hallways, the Entrance Hall displays new statement tile flooring and features a 6 smoke glass bowl chandelier. The long Hall is flanked by modern black glass panel double doors to both the Sitting and Family Rooms. To the far end an opaque glazed External Door opens into the rear garden, while to either side lie the Downstairs WC with built-in wall cupboard home to the new Worcester Greenstar Ri gas boiler and the Cloakroom providing ample storage for the divestment of outerwear and home to the hot water cylinder. 
 
Sitting Room - The inviting Sitting Room delights in a bay window with the new pebble grey Upvc windows fitted throughout the house. The room painted in a rich heritage colour is made even more welcoming by the retention of the original brick fireplace, home to an eco Clearskies wood burner set atop a wide slate hearth with timber beam mantel above and the honey tones of the oak-effect laminate flooring. The period-style, new energy-efficient column radiator is flanked by twin glass ribbed bowl wall sconces. Further options for various lighting moods are offered by the recessed lighting and central pendant fitted with 6 glass bowl chandelier. 
 
Family Room - Across the Hall lies the Family Room, a carpeted and  highly adaptable space.

The units continue along to form a peninsula with storage and breakfast bar seating, with useful double socket with USB charging slots and highlighted by triple light pendant. The Dining Room with twin wall sconces to match provides a convivial space framed by French Doors opening onto the stone paved patio and benefits from ample room for dresser and sideboard flanking a large dining table at which to gather family and friends. To the far end of the room the pitch of the roof, naturally lit with twin Velux supported by 4 spot track lighting, creates another malleable space. It would prove ideal as a Family Room area for informal relaxing on comfy sofas, equally useful as an open Home Office or Study area easy to monitor children's homework and online activity or a play area for youngsters.
