Entrance hall

A panelled front door opens into a spacious hallway that runs from the front to the rear of the house. High ceilings pair with stripped wooden floorboards to create a warm and welcoming entrance. A decorative archway adds architectural interest, and a lacquered steel balustrade draws the eye toward the lower ground floor kitchen.

Front Reception Room

Approached via a wide glazed door, this elegant reception room showcases classic Victorian proportions, with high ceilings, deep skirting boards, and a stunning hardwood sash window that bathes the space in natural light. Above the sash, a beautiful leaded stained glass window adds colour, character, and a clear nod to the home’s period heritage. Window shutters provide additional privacy from the front of the house when desired.

The current owners have cleverly introduced a timber partition to zone the space, creating a designated home study area at the front, enjoying delightful views over the front garden and quiet street beyond. To the left on entry, there is useful space for coats and storage.

Toward the rear of the room, a cosy snug area offers an ideal setting for reading or relaxing, centred around a beautiful cast iron fireplace. It is flanked by built-in shelving on either side of the chimney breast. Original, intricate coving flows seamlessly into the neutral-toned walls, lending refinement and timeless charm to this characterful space.

Rear Reception Room

Approached through a wide opaque glazed door, this is an elegant room befitting its Victorian heritage. It features a large bay sash window overlooking the rear garden, topped with charming leaded stained glass that adds character and period detail. Original coving and picture rails frame the high ceiling, further enhancing the room’s sense of grandeur.

At its heart lies a beautifully restored original cast iron Victorian fireplace with an ornate hardwood surround, detailed mantelpiece, and intricate period features, all set above a traditional tiled hearth. Stripped wooden floorboards and generous ceiling height contribute to the overall sense of space and refinement, making this the perfect spot to relax and unwind while enjoying peaceful views of the glorious rear garden.

Lower Ground Floor – Kitchen, Utility Room & WC:

The lower ground floor has been thoughtfully divided into two distinct zones: a high-quality, spacious living kitchen and a professionally tanked utility area, which includes a water pump.

The standout dining kitchen features handless Shaker-style wooden cabinetry, wooden worktops, and a striking quartz-topped island. A built-in upholstered bench provides comfortable seating for informal dining, while Umbrian limestone flooring runs throughout, lending a timeless and refined finish. There is recessed space for a range cooker with a gas hob and four electric ovens, along with an external extractor. Plumbing is in place for a dishwasher, and a feature fireplace provides a beautiful focal point for this elegant, sociable space, which enjoys tranquil views over the rear garden. The kitchen also looks out onto a sunken patio, accessed via a tiled passageway, offering a peaceful outdoor spot ideal for enjoying the morning light and midday sun.

The adjacent utility room includes a cupboard housing the boiler with additional space for a water tank if desired. There is provision for white goods, additional storage, and ample space for a freestanding fridge-freezer or wine cooler. The room is finished with attractive encaustic wall tiles, which are also echoed in the external light well, enhancing the charm and cohesion of the space. A guest WC completes the level.

Bathrooms
