A beautifully presented Victorian home in an elevated position a short walk to the cathedral and pedestrianised high street.

Description

Arriving at the property one is welcomed by an attractive south facing front garden and path leading to the front door opening into the living room. Featuring a wood burning stove, large sash windows and an engineered oak flooring, the room delivers style and character, yet offers plenty of practical storage for day-to-day life.

The kitchen has been masterfully extended to create an open plan kitchen/dining and family space with bi-folding doors to the garden. Fitted with a range of high-quality appliances such as a 6-ring gas hob, double oven, shaker style wall and floor mounted units and the brilliant central island, which all contribute to the most socialable heart of the home. The dining area features stylish paneling and a lantern roof that floods the room with natural light. Tucked in the corner at the back of the extension is the WC and cloakroom that completes the ground floor.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom is at the front enjoying the best of the views south towards the city. There are built in wardrobes and high ceilings that all contribute to the most pleasant and well-proportioned room. The family bathroom has been beautifully finished with a large bath and separate shower with feature tiling. Bedroom three completes the first floor.

Moving to the second floor, the loft conversion has been cleverly designed to maximise the usable space and light. There are three skylight windows with outstanding views over the city and an en suite shower room.

OUTSIDE
Accessed via the bi-folding doors from the kitchen or via the rear access, the garden is split into two zones. The paved terrace is ideal for dining al fresco or entertaining in the summer months and enjoys a feeling of privacy due to its orientation in relation to neighbors. There is an area of shingle to the rear of the garden containing raised beds, plants and shrubs and could make for an ideal area for growing vegetables, or for BBQ’s and children’s play equipment.

There is no off-street parking at the property but permit parking is available nearby.
