With white-painted elevations and attractive period architecture, this is an appealing property that offers the perfect blend of charming, retained vintage features with modern-day enhancements. Characteristics of note include ornate wrought-iron fireplaces, picture and dado rails, embellished cornicing and ceiling roses, with oak flooring in the reception hall extending into the sitting/dining room, creating a pleasing sense of cohesion. With two iconic fireplaces framed by heritage cabinets, this elegant setting is the perfect space for relaxation, with a bay recess providing a niche for window seating. Glazed double doors open into the adjoining kitchen/breakfast room at the point where the charm of old meets the stylish presentation of new. Filled with natural light courtesy of part-vaulted ceilings, skylight windows and French doors, which provide a seamless connection with the outside, this sociable space benefits from under-flooring heating and has a kitchen fitted with sleek, contemporary cabinetry, Metro tiling, and integrated appliances.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the two upper floors, with the first floor rooms comprising three bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom, with under-floor heating, wall panelling, oval freestanding tub, and walk-in shower. A further stairway rises to the principal bedroom which benefits from a smart en suite shower room.

To the front, the garden is enclosed by a low-level brick wall, with a wrought-iron pedestrian gate opening onto a pretty tessellated path leading to the arched entrance.

At the rear, the garden, features a paved terrace spanning the width of the house and offering opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation. Steps lead down to an area of lawn which is bordered by laurel hedging, a variety of shrubs and timber-edged planted pockets containing specimen lollipop trees. A stepping-stone walkway leads to the far-margin of the garden where an area of paving adjoins the timber summerhouse, which provides versatile-use options and is presently being utilised as a beauty salon.
