Description:

25b City Road is a delightful, Victorian terraced home occupying a quiet, leafy position on this popular, residential road. Formerly, the home of a well-known author, the accommodation is hugely appealing and characterful and has a uniqueness that is rarely seen.

On the ground floor is a bright, open plan living room with ample space for dining and sitting with glazed doors to the garden and a contemporary, coal effect gas fire. The thoughtfully and tastefully fitted kitchen has a good range of units, gas hob and built- in fridge/freezer. A large hatch from the kitchen is ideal for entertaining but also can be screened off if needed.

An iconic spiral staircase leads up to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and a stylish bathroom. Glazed doors open from one of the bedrooms to the private decked balcony.

Outside:

Glazed, sliding doors from the living room give access to the secluded, walled courtyard garden, the ideal space for al-fresco dining and entertaining. There is also a decked balcony, accessed from the principal bedroom, affording lovely roof-top views. There is a useful, detached outbuilding to the back of the garden currently used as a utility room and for storage. A door from the outbuilding provides rear pedestrian access. There are lovely long views from both the front and the back of the house.
