5 bedroom end of terrace house

This extended and modernised Victorian home features a bright and stylish high-end finish over three stories of living space, including five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a huge open-plan dining kitchen with double doors onto the sunny, south-facing garden.

Nestled on a spacious corner plot a short walk from local parks, shops, and rail services, it enjoys ample off-road parking on the block-paved driveway and an integral garage with direct access to the inner hallway. The garage also leads to the rear garden, where you’ll discover an outbuilding with an additional bathroom – perfect for a home office or gym.

STEP INSIDE

Open the traditional-style grey front door to an inner hallway with integrated storage. Here, you can remove coats and shoes before entering the main hall, which has a central turning staircase, more built-in storage, and a door to the garden.

Bright white coved walls, high ceilings with spotlights, and practical wood-effect flooring combine for a fresh, modern feel – the rest of the ground floor is similarly decorated. In the large living room to your right, a wide bay window with fitted Venetian blinds pairs with a central chandelier to drench this fabulous family space with light.

Continue along the hall to find a beautifully tiled, three-piece shower room with a rainfall shower enclosure and a chrome heated towel rail. The massive dining kitchen lies just beyond, brightened by ceiling spots, a statement light fitting, a large side window and French doors to the garden.

Lined with grey format tiles, the kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of white cabinetry with coordinating tops and splashbacks to blend with the décor. Integrated appliances include an oven with a gas hob and extractor hood, a 1.5-bowl sink with a pull-out tap, and a concealed dishwasher, fridge, freezer, and washing machine. 

White walls and wood-effect flooring run through all three spot-lit double bedrooms on the first floor. The largest fills the front and overlooks the street through two big windows with Venetian blinds, which are also fitted to the large windows in the two bedrooms facing the garden. The middle bedroom also benefits from a built-in cupboard, while all three share a fully tiled bathroom featuring modern chrome tapware and fittings on a bath with an overhead shower and contemporary sanitaryware.

Two additional spot-lit double bedrooms await on the top floor, reachable by a second carpeted staircase and decorated to match those below. Both great-sized doubles, the front bedroom is lit by skylights, while the back bedroom has a Venetian blind to the window. A chrome heated towel rail warms the fully tiled bathroom, which contains a bath with overhead shower, a vanity basin unit, and a modern toilet.

OUTDOORS

The French doors from the kitchen open to a sizable patio that flows around the side return to meet the hallway. Beyond, paved pathways frame a south-facing artificial lawn before joining another large terrace at the back, where you can relax in privacy thanks to the screening walls, high fencing, and neighbouring trees. Mounted trellising allows for climbing plants, while thoughtfully planted woodchip borders flank the lawn.

At the end of the garden, you’ll discover a colonnaded outbuilding that captures the sunshine through a roof light, a glazed door and large windows with Venetian blinds. Spotlighting and wood-effect flooring create a practical backdrop for a gym, home office, or additional living space served by a tiled, spot-lit bathroom with a wet-room-style walk-in shower.
