Set in the heart of Lexden in one of the most sought after roads, this is an elegant and distinctive Victorian family home that has been sympathetically modernized with a beautifully considered extension. The open plan kitchen/ family room and separate utility has been designed to enhance the volume and grandeur of Victorian high ceilings into a modern and spatially ingenuitive family hub. The spectacular bespoke hand crafted kitchen features a comprehensive list of appliances, a central feature island/ breakfast bar and impressively proportioned cupboards.
A further sitting room, dining room and study showcase original features such as cast iron fireplaces, deep cornicing and skirts with complimentary floors in pine, flagstone and heritage tiling. Finishing the ground floor accommodation is the half cellar / store and WC.

The first floor is accessed by a returning staircase with a Victorian picture window. Three spacious double bedrooms with a fourth smaller double share the family bathroom and toilet. The fourth room could potentially be developed into an en-suite for the principle bedroom. A further returning staircase leads to the top floor were another generous landing leads to three further double bedrooms, one currently used as a games room, and a stylish walk-in shower room.

In the garden there is a newly paved seating area, perfect for al fresco dining and enjoying summer evenings whilst offering a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Following on from this, there is a south facing lawn with flowerbeds bordering either side adding greenery and blossoming flowers to the space. At the end of the garden there is a charming summer house, which is in keeping with the rest of the home.

To the front of the property, a shingle driveway offers off-street parking for two large cars.
