Set back from the road, the house opens through original panelled front doors into an exceptionally wide entrance hall. Period details abound, with decorative archwork and a green-tiled fireplace anchoring the space. A sweeping staircase with carved balustrade rises elegantly, setting the tone for the character within.

To the right of the entrance hall, a magnificent bay-fronted reception room combines elegance and scale. A cast-iron fireplace with bespoke shelving creates a refined focal point, while elaborate ceiling mouldings and a dado rail frame the space with period detail. Expansive sash windows in a wide bay allow light to cascade across the exposed timber flooring, making this an inviting room equally suited to formal entertaining or relaxed family gatherings. At the rear, a second reception room provides an equally impressive living space. Defined by elegant herringbone parquet flooring and a striking cast-iron fireplace, the room is bathed in light from French doors set beneath stained-glass transoms. These open seamlessly into a bright conservatory and onward to the 100 ft south-facing garden, creating a natural flow for entertaining and family living.

The kitchen has been modernised in sleek grey cabinetry with integrated appliances and crisp white worktops, providing a clean, contemporary counterpoint to the period features elsewhere. Large windows and a door onto the garden fill the space with natural light, while ample room for dining makes it the hub of the home. A guest WC and utility room complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the first-floor hosts four well-proportioned bedrooms. The rear-facing principal bedroom is particularly impressive, capturing soft natural light, benefitting from garden views, and opening onto a private balcony — a serene retreat. High ceilings, refined cornicing, and a grand period fireplace lend the room an unmistakable sense of Victorian sophistication, while its generous proportions provide ample room for seating or dressing areas.
Three additional bedrooms complete this level, one of which enjoys the luxury of an en-suite shower room. A stylish family bathroom, finished with modern fixtures, serves this floor with ease. Additionally, a thoughtfully designed study offers the ideal setting for remote working or reading, benefiting from a peaceful outlook and abundant natural light.

The top floor has been converted into a spacious fifth bedroom with vaulted ceilings, fitted storage, and a stylish en-suite bathroom. Skylights and mirrored wardrobes make this a bright, versatile space suited to a bedroom, studio or guest suite.

Outside, the 100 ft south-facing garden is beautifully landscaped with mature planting, manicured lawns, and seating terraces for outdoor dining and play. Offering exceptional privacy, it is a rare and peaceful urban sanctuary.
