PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

With 1,609 square feet of space inside and an almost 70 ft garden, this is a substantial property with elegant period proportions and plenty of character. Charming original features including panelled wood doors, stripped wood floors, fireplaces, ceiling rose, cornicing and picture rails, and leaded lights, sit comfortably alongside contemporary fixtures, fittings and décor.

There are four main living spaces on the ground floor: a front reception room, rear dining room, kitchen, and conservatory. The front reception room has a traditional feel, with a large south-facing curved bay window, stripped wood floor, picture rail, and an original cast iron fireplace with an ornate tile surround. Measuring 16’9” by 12’6” there’s lots of space for sofas and much more besides.

The dining room is similarly spacious, with glazed double doors that open into the conservatory. This huge space is glazed along two sides and has doors to the adjacent kitchen, the garden terrace, and a small WC. With direct access to the garden, the conservatory is a fantastic entertaining space. The well-equipped kitchen is dual aspect and has a long run of fitted wall and floor cabinets that provide plenty of storage capacity and ample worktop space. The floor is tiled and there is a smart green tiled splashback.

The first floor has three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate WC. Two of the three bedrooms are large doubles, whilst the third is an ideal guest room or workspace. The main front bedroom echoes the front room downstairs, with a large, curved bay window, stripped wood floor, and a striking original fireplace and tiled surround. Generous dimensions easily accommodate a large double bed and bedroom furniture. The second double bedroom is at the rear with a fireplace and garden views, whilst the third bedroom features an unusual small bay window. The bathroom and WC both have tiled floors and walls and an exterior window, and the bathroom has a freestanding rolltop bath and attractive vintage washbasin. A hatch on the landing provides access to the large loft via the original wood loft ladder.

Outside, the property has a paved front garden that provides off-street parking for two cars and gated side access to the almost 70 ft rear garden. This is split into a paved terrace adjacent to the house and a large lawn with a central specimen tree and a new garden shed recently installed.
