The Property:
Set back from the street behind a mature hedge affording privacy and with space for storage, a path leads to the recessed entrance porch protecting the front door, which opens into a lovely entrance hall with stripped and polished floorboards, plaster arch with corbels and stairs to the first floor with a storage cupboard beneath. The sitting/dining room has an east/west aspect and provides excellent natural light with a bay window to the front with sash openers, a pretty period fireplace flanked by bespoke fitted, low level cupboards and a window to the rear aspect, there is again stripped and polished floorboards. The kitchen has been beautifully refitted with a range of traditional cream fronted 'in frame' style cabinetry, with bronze handles with white marble style countertops and upstands, fitted range style cooker, integrated dishwasher and butler sink. The large ceramic tiled floor is heated for comfort; the breakfast end has an ingenious banquette style seating and provides space for a bistro table and chairs. A utility room and separate cloakroom complete the ground floor.
The principal bedroom has two windows to the front aspect, which feels bright due to the break in houses to the other side of the street, and has polished floorboards and a pretty fireplace, flanked by fitted wardrobes.

The bathroom has a side aspect window and provides a modern arrangement with a panelled bath with shower over, WC and wash basin.
