Description
PROPERTY IN BRIEF
A charming three-bedroom semi-detached home combines timeless character with smart, practical updates throughout. Set back from the road with a generous driveway, the property welcomes you with a traditional porch and double-door entry. Inside, you'll find two spacious open-plan reception rooms, both with beautiful fireplaces and bay windows, as well as a light-filled kitchen with classic white units, granite-style worktops and garden views. Original features like picture rails, stained-glass-style windows, and traditional doors add a sense of warmth and personality, while thoughtful modern touches keep the space functional for contemporary living. There is also an under-cover storage to the side of the house.
Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms offer flexibility for families or those working from home, all serviced by a stylish shower room and separate WC.
The rear garden is a lovely mix of a patio, lawn, and established planting, leading to a secondary patio and access to a large garage and dual sheds, ideal for storage, hobbies, or even future development (subject to permissions).
Located in a sought-after area with excellent access to local amenities, this home is full of potential and ready to welcome its next chapter.
APPROACH
As you arrive at the front of the property, you’re welcomed by a generous driveway. A few steps lead up to the charming front porch with stylish double door access, opening into the main hallway.
LIVING ACCOMMODATION
Step inside and you’re greeted with a classic three-bedroom semi-detached layout, with thoughtful updates throughout. Immediately to your right, there's a super practical storage cupboard. Ideal for coats, shoes, and it even hides the boiler out of sight.
The first reception room currently serves as a generous dining area, but it could just as easily be a front lounge. A beautiful bay window floods the room with natural light, while alcoves on either side of the period feature fireplace offer great storage or styling options. The fireplace is a lovely feature mirrored in the rear living space too. The neutral décor creates a timeless backdrop, with charming features like picture rails, fireplaces, and traditional internal doors adding extra character.
The rear reception room is the go-to spot for relaxing, currently set up as a lounge with another period feature fireplace as the focal point. This space has low-maintenance e flooring, heaps of space for your sofa setup and entertainment kit, and we especially love the full-height French doors that lead out to the garden - letting in loads of natural light and connecting indoor and outdoor living beautifully.
The kitchen is practical and stylish, perfect for whipping up family meals. With country cream units, granite-style worktops, classic subway tiles, and a large sink overlooking the garden, it delivers function and a touch of elegance. Cleverly tucked behind the staircase is space for a large fridge freezer. For even more storage, the kitchen also opens onto a covered side passage, ideal for tucking away bulkier items.
UPSTAIRS ACCOMMODATION
Head upstairs and the character continues. A traditional dado rail leads you to the landing, where a beautiful stained-glass-effect window brings in natural light and colour. From here, you’ll find three bedrooms, a shower room, and a separate WC.
The primary bedroom, at the rear, is a generously sized double. It also features a bay window projection and built-in sliding wardrobes, with room to spare for additional furniture. Like the rest of the upstairs, this room features a soft, neutral grey carpet underfoot.
Bedroom two sits at the front of the house, taking full advantage of the bay window. It’s a spacious, light-filled room with plenty of room for a large bed, wardrobes, and more. The current owners have smartly positioned a vanity in the bay, both stylish and practical. Modern finishes and mirrored elements keep the space feeling bright and open.
Bedroom three makes a perfect room for a younger member of the family, guest space, or a work-from-home setup. We love the unique character, especially the mini bay window looking out to the front.
The shower room is well-appointed with a spacious walk-in shower tray featuring a mains-fed rain shower and a sleek vanity sink unit with handy storage. The separate WC has been thoughtfully finished with wood panelling.
OUTSIDE SPACES
Out back, you’ll find a charming garden complete with a patio for outdoor dining, a lawned area for play or planting, and established greenery. A garden path leads to a second smaller patio space that gives access to the garage and sheds at the rear.
GARAGE AND STORAGE
The garage has been cleverly adapted by the current owners to include two additional sheds - perfect for storage or workshop/hobby use. With separate access from Bilton Grange Road, this generous space could work as a workshop, or with the right permissions, be transformed into extra accommodation or a garden studio. The garage has an up and over electric door with additional power and lighting supply.
