Full Details

Property
A period front door with stunning stain glass insert and lead piping grants access into the entrance hallway. This family home has been reconfigured to provide three large double bedrooms from the original four and offers scope for further redesign in the form of a loft conversion, if desired, within the generous roof space.
The high standards of care and maintenance ensured by the current owners are immediately present upon entering the boldly decorated entrance hall and passageway, embellished with the original Edwardian terrazzo flooring, decorative skirting boards, and coving to the ceiling . The well-proportioned accommodation comes in the form of a dining room to the front, open plan dining kitchen with an integrated dishwasher, pantry and a generous living room. The dining room features a large bay window allowing an abundance of natural light to be enjoyed along with decorative coving to the ceiling. The living room to the rear offers views over the garden along with a wealth of character features including coving to ceiling, picture rail, and period fireplace with raised hearth and mantel over. The kitchen offers an open space both for an informal dining table and a range of units. A range of minimalistic shaker style wall and base units are met with a timber worksurface encompassing an oven, gas hob, sink with drainer unit, and recesses for utility appliances. A perfectly placed pantry provides additional storage solutions. This exceptionally beautiful property has two outbuildings that lead to the well kept garden.

The bold decoration of the entrance hall extends to the upper floor where a spacious and galleried landing is found, this leads to a former bedroom converted family bathroom that has a newly fitted basin with tap and WC. The upper floor boasts three spacious double bedrooms, each with characterful picture rails and ample space for freestanding furniture. The shower room with separate WC completes this home perfectly.
