2 bedroom terraced house for sale

"We loved starting and growing our family in this house. Not only because of the wonderful sense of community we have in the neighbourhood, but mainly because this house dances with the seasons very well, making the most of every single one of them... From sipping coffee in winter mornings, whilst the sun shines through the living room windows; to celebrating summer days in our sun-trap of a garden, hosting family and friends and barbecuing until the last ray of sunshine... A great sanctuary to us that has also been our friend's hub for group gatherings. This house has truly been our beloved home and holds such beautiful memories. We will always pass by it on the street and remember the great times we had here."

The home

Set back and elevated from the charming residential street of Thicket Road, this classic stone-fronted Victorian property has been thoughtfully reimagined to offer a sophisticated, contemporary lifestyle while retaining its charm. Step inside the welcoming hallway, where the stairs rise to the right, and a door leads to the living room. The entire ground floor has been opened up to create a welcoming and free-flowing dining and living space that acts as the vibrant heart of the home. Bathed in fantastic natural light, both during summer and winter, the space is anchored by lovely period features and finished with a crisp, neutral, and contemporary decorative palette. This living area flows effortlessly into a spacious and bright kitchen extension, boasting impressive vaulted ceilings that add an incredible sense of space and volume. The kitchen has been intelligently designed with an abundance of cabinetry and worktop space, and features direct access out onto the garden decking - a special feature itself, perfect for throwing open the doors and allowing the inside and outside to blend on warm summer days. Heading up to the first floor, the primary bedroom is beautifully proportioned spanning the entire width of the house, bespoke built-in wardrobes and a wide window that provides gorgeous natural light throughout the year. Adjacent to it, a comfortable second double bedroom, offering peaceful and wide views out across the rear garden and to the horizon. At the rear of the first floor is a newly renovated three-piece bathroom featuring an accessible walk-in shower.

The outside space

The property begins with an inviting approach, stone steps lead up past a neat front lawn to the handsome stone facade. To the rear, the substantial garden is a true standout feature. Facing primarily west, it is perfectly positioned to capture the afternoon and evening sun, which means more than 10h of sun a day in the summer. Stepping immediately out from the kitchen, you are greeted by a large, raised decking area that is tailor-made for alfresco dining and entertaining guests. The decking has been replaced less than a year ago: definitely an area maintained and ready to last for years to come. Beyond the decking, a manicured lawn is bordered by a stone pathway that meanders down to a recently erected high-quality wooden home-office and shed. While currently without electricity or lighting, it offers the perfect footprint for a fully functioning remote workspace or creative studio. Tucked behind this structure is a practical rear gate providing secure access to the private back lane.
