Setting the scene for the Victorian splendour that awaits within, open the handsome front door and step inside the porch, where a large and light cloakroom with WC and wash basin can be found on the right.

Character charm
Beyond, in the entrance hall, period features reveal themselves in the airiness of the high ceiling, stripped original woodblock flooring and impressive staircase on the left. Cast iron radiators emanate warmth in this instantly stylish home, upgraded for modern living. Throughout the home, graceful coving and original doors combine with subtle modernisations, blending the best of old and new for ease and elegance of living.

Serenity awaits in the spacious sitting room, carpeted in cream underfoot and where light floods in through the bountiful bay window, overlooking the garden. Enchanting in summertime and cosy during the winter months, warmth emanates from the log-burning stove, nestled in its attractive surround.

Family living
Admire the detail in the architrave, stepping from entrance hall through into the kitchen, where parquet flooring flows out underfoot. Awash with light from tall windows and French doors opening out to the garden, this spacious family hub blends Victorian comfort with contemporary convenience to accommodate modern living.

An all-season room, snuggle up in front of the log-burning stove as the nights draw in, savouring the aroma of whatever feast is roasting away in the Aga. The large, family living portion of the room is zoned whilst remaining open to the main kitchen, enabling the chef to socialise and interact with family and guests all the while. In summertime, open the doors and flow freely between the indoors and out.

Feast your eyes
The newly fitted kitchen features an array of appliances including Aga, extractor, fridge, freezer, sink with instant boiling tap and waste disposal, whilst abundant cabinetry provides plenty of storage.
