An Exceptional Victorian Four-Bedroom End-of-Terrace; Impeccably Restored in a Prime Central Town Location…

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly distinguished Victorian end-of-terrace, meticulously renovated to an exceptional standard and ideally situated in a prime central town location. Larger than many of its neighbours, at approximately 9m² bigger than similar homes on the road; this four-bedroom residence has been comprehensively transformed with uncompromising attention to detail, blending refined period charm with every modern convenience.

Lovingly taken back to brick, the current owner has embarked on an extensive, high-quality restoration that honours the home’s original character while future-proofing its structure and systems. A large portion of the house has been re-wired and the plumbing has been upgraded, alongside the installation of a Worcester Bosch combi-boiler and new radiators throughout. Every internal surface has been expertly re-plastered, and high-performance composite front and rear doors have been installed, enhancing both insulation and security.

Downstairs, the home features premium Karndean flooring with a life time guarantee, a durable and stylish foundation that complements the handcrafted kitchen, which is a standout in its own right. The kitchen offers both quality and flexibility, with the option to repaint the bespoke cabinetry in any colour of your choice. Thoughtful details such as textured door handles and a pull-out faucet at the sink add a touch of everyday luxury. There is a cloakroom to the rear of the room, ideal for when entertaining in the garden. The front of the ground floor is the traditional two spacious reception rooms that are open to each other, both with chimney stacks in place as features that have been left to expose the brick.

Upstairs, there is a generously sized bedroom to the rear of the home, the luxury bathroom and additional shower room have been designed with a timeless yet contemporary flair. There are a further two double bedrooms on the first floor, with huge master to the front.

Moving upwards, the loft space has been upgraded with PIR boarding, enhancing insulation while preserving essential breathability. A reinforced glass box dormer window invites natural light and expands the usable footprint of the upper level. Some homes of this style have chosen to create a second bathroom by an additional en-suite, which would be a future possibility, and in doing so, would therefore create a third bathroom, without comprising on space.

The rear garden is an attractive walled space, with additional side access leading to the front from the garden by grace of it’s End-Of-Terrace setting, which makes for excellent functionality, but also means the bins can be stored in the back garden rather than the front, and bikes, scooters and such don't have to be brought through the house. There is also the potential scope to do an in-fill extension to the side recess which for some, is a great way to gain that extra valuable space, without having to uproot to chieve more family space or greater flexibility in the home, in line with changing lifestyle choices.

Externally, the property makes an immediate impression. The original brickwork has been expertly tuckpointed and re-pointed, not only restoring its visual elegance but also improving weather resistance, damp protection, and sound insulation — a rare and valuable touch in period homes. The chimneys have been professionally swept, ensuring they are both functional and safe, while the façade has been exposed and repointed to bring out the natural beauty and historic character of the Victorian brickwork.

The location is ideal to enjoy all the town has to offer on foot, with Schools, Shops, Café’s, Restaurants, and so much more all on the doorstep. The beach is only a -minute scroll, and the Park is even closer. The location also benefits from excellent transport links with the train station, again in easy walking distance, providing a regular service into Kings Coss and London Victoria.

This is not simply a renovated home, it is a thoughtfully reimagined Victorian residence, crafted with pride and precision. Every element, from the infrastructure to the aesthetic finishes, has been carefully considered and executed to exacting standards.

If you are seeking a home that offers substance, character, and turn-key readiness, with the potential to expand the living area by the addition of a side extension, subject to planning permission. This unique property sets itself apart in every meaningful way; and must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
