Words from the seller

We’ve loved living at Newport Road and are sad to be moving on. We originally planned to stay for the foreseeable future and renovated with that in mind. We have always used premium fixtures and fittings and never cut corners when working on the house, such as installing the solid brass bullnose doorstep. We have worked hard to maintain all of the house's original period features, including the architrave ceiling in the living room and bedroom, and the original marble fireplace.

It’s a bright, comfortable home with a great sense of space on a school safe road. Wunder underfloor heating runs throughout the kitchen, bathroom, and second bedroom, while the other rooms have period cast iron radiators, all managed by the Wunder Smart Home App. All windows, including the period-style sash windows, are double-glazed and have recently been painted both inside and out.

Both the front and rear gardens have been designed to be low maintenance. The garden is surrounded by tall trees, making it perfect for watching blue tits and parakeets. We love that the rear garden has two seating areas, providing a choice of spaces to relax. The front garden is deep enough for a storage shed, which has been perfect for our bikes, preventing us from having to bring them through the house. The workshop/shed at the bottom of the garden has been invaluable as additional storage for all our ski and camping equipment.

The kitchen is fitted with a Rangemaster gas oven, dishwasher, and washing machine. The bathroom has a powerful rainfall shower and plenty of room for storage of cosmetics and bedding. The master bedroom is great for light sleepers as it's very quiet, and the second bedroom has recently been fitted with a real oak herringbone floor. Most importantly, we’ve had fantastic, friendly neighbours, which has made living here even better!
