Full Details

Property This charming Victorian terraced home, traditional in layout over the ground and first floors, underwent a stunning loft conversion by a previous owner to provide a third double bedroom with ensuite. A wealth of period features are present throughout the home and provide a strong sense of character. The striking monochrome Minton tiled flooring welcomes the owner into the hallway which grants access to the front and rear reception rooms. The living room, positioned to the front, features stripped timber flooring, decorative coving to the ceiling, and an exposed brickwork fireplace now fitted with a log burner. The dining room to the rear boasts matching stripped timber flooring, decorative coving to the ceiling, and shelving built into the alcoves on either side of the chimney breast. The original cast iron fireplace embellishing the dining room has intricately detailed tiling and surround as well as a tiled hearth. Beyond, the kitchen is found to be fitted with a range of off white shaker style wall and base units, arranged in a horseshoe shape and topped with a rolled edge timber effect worksurface encompassing a stainless steel sink and drainer unit. Appliances include a gas hob with brushed chrome extractor hood over and oven below.
Arranged over the upper two floors are three good sized bedrooms. The first floor provides two double bedrooms, one with front aspect and the other with rear. The master to the front features the original cast iron fireplace and mahogany style timber flooring. The bedrooms share use of the family bathroom which has been styled in keeping with the period setting and features dark stained stripped timber flooring. Sanitaryware comprises a freestanding rolled top clawfoot bath, separate shower cubicle, wash hand basin, and WC. The loft conversion boasts a skylight which illuminates the room and a galleried landing as well as benefitting from an ensuite shower room.

The rear of this property enjoys a good sized garden with outbuildings attached to the rear of the kitchen providing opportunity for further extensions if required, subject to planning permissions. A slabbed patio is found directly outside the home and leads to the manageable lawn. The bottom of the garden has been designed with raised decking surrounded by raised flowerbeds planted with an abundance of plants, flowers, and shrubbery. The boundaries are defined by timber fencing to all sides which feature well established plants intertwining the trellis.
