Greenbank, Clapham, LA2 8ER

Here's our TOP TEN reasons to love Greenbank:

1. A traditional and charming late Victorian semi-detached cottage with a decorative date stone above the entrance, carved with JAF 1893.

2. Characterful and welcoming with original period features including pine staircase and architraves, picture rail and recessed shelving with cupboards under in the sitting room, stone mullion windows, four panel internal doors, decorative entrance door and roof finial.

3. Splendid aspect with open countryside views to the rear and a leafy outlook over Clapham Beck to the front.

4. Well-proportioned accommodation over two floors with a gross internal measurement of c. 989 sq ft (91.9 sq m) excluding the outbuilding.

5. Come on into the entrance hall off which is the dual aspect sitting room with wooden fire surround. This room is currently used as a third bedroom. The living/dining room overlooks the garden and has a woodburning stove set on a flagged hearth, a store cupboard, which houses the boiler and a rear vestibule. Two steps lead down from the sitting room into the kitchen - this is fitted with base and wall units, space for an electric cooker and integral appliances including a fridge/freezer and a dishwasher.

6. ... and so to bed - there are two double bedrooms to the first floor, both with recessed arches. Bedroom 2 enjoys a splendid outlook across open fields. To complete the picture is a modern three piece bathroom.

7. Outbuildings - to the rear is a row of outhouses with a small laundry room having power, light and space for a washing machine and tumble drier, a gardeners' WC and a fuel store.

8. Lovely cottage gardens to three sides - to the front, a pedestrian gate leads up the path under a wooden, rose covered pergola to the front door. There's a small lawn and planted borders. To the side, an informal garden with trees and shrubs. The rear garden, bordering open fields, has a level lawn, vegetable beds and well-stocked borders.

9. Parking - double timber gates open to a private gravel drive providing ample parking.

10. Location, location, location - Clapham is a picturesque village with Greenbank being situated close to but not within the National Park boundaries.
