Stylish upgraded family home in sought-after area.

Description

Oswald Drive is a beautiful semi-detached villa, constructed in the early 1900s, that has been extensively restored and extended in a sympathetic manner by the current owners to create an impressive family home. The property offers generous and flexible family accommodation extending to approximately 1504 sq feet. The accommodation itself starts at ground level and begins with an entrance vestibule leading into the welcoming reception hallway with a staircase leading to the upper level. The main sitting room is located off the hallway to the front of the home and benefits from an impressive bay window with stained glass detail, elaborate ceiling plasterwork and cornice plus a limestone fireplace with inset woodburning stove. At the rear of the property, the family room extends into the open plan kitchen and dining area with large windows, patio doors and Velux windows flooding the space with natural light and offering an outlook over the garden. This is a fantastic sociable space and features characterful herringbone oak flooring throughout and exposed beams in the ceiling.

The fabulous contemporary kitchen is well designed and has a range of built in appliances along with high and low level cabinetry. The breakfast island provides extra storage and a place to dine; a particular highlight is the Bartazzoni professional gas range stove with stainless steel splashback. Off the kitchen is a handy utility room.

The shower room off the hallway completes the downstairs accommodation.

The stairway with original balustrade leads to the upper landing with three well-proportioned bedrooms off. Two of the bedrooms look to the front of the property and one to the rear. Finally, the stylish family bathroom has a freestanding bath, spacious walk-in shower, wash hand basin with vanity unit with a heated, backlit mirror above.

Externally, Oswald Drive is accessed from between two gate piers and offers plenty of external parking within the driveway.
The rear garden is well laid out with a large patio area, lawn, summerhouse and shed and faces south making it a real suntrap.
