DESCRIPTION A welcoming porch opens to a hallway that retains its original corbels, leading the eye towards the elegant staircase to the first floor. To the right, the open-plan lounge and dining room spans the depth of the house, creating a light and spacious living area. The lounge, positioned at the front of the property, benefits from a large bay window overlooking the street. Neutral grey tones on the walls create a calming atmosphere, and the original checkered tiled hearth remains, a nod to the home's history. The dining area is painted in a similarly neutral palette, with clever built-in cupboards and shelving on either side of the fireplace breast. A glazed door opens from here to a sunroom, allowing natural light to fill the space.
The galley kitchen is fitted with wood-effect wall and base units, complemented by a dark marble-effect worktop and cream metro tiles as a splashback. From the kitchen, a small hall leads to the rear garden and a convenient storage cupboard. The downstairs bathroom, also located off this hall, features a white bath with a mixer shower overhead, along with a WC and basin.
On the first floor, a spacious landing provides access to all three bedrooms. Bedroom three, with its light grey-painted floorboards and built-in corner wardrobe, overlooks the rear garden. Bedroom two also offers views of the garden, while the generous main bedroom at the front of the house features twin windows overlooking the street and beautiful stripped original floorboards.
 

GARDEN AND GROUNDS The private rear courtyard garden is a peaceful haven that captures the afternoon sun. A white-painted brick wall with a dark wood fence topping provides a sense of privacy and seclusion. A gate at the rear provides access to the adjoining service lane.
