Find Out A Little More... - Believed to date from the 1870s, this characterful brick-built house with a slate roof retains many original features, including wrought-iron garden railings, a bay window, panelled doors and a period staircase with a polished mahogany handrail. The front sash windows have been refurbished, and the internal plasterwork carefully restored or faithfully replicated.

The current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of renovation, including new flooring, replacement rear windows, bespoke cabinetry, tall contemporary radiators, a refitted kitchen and two bathrooms, together with plentiful sockets to suit modern family living. Throughout the house are clever bespoke storage solutions, complemented by original cupboards thoughtfully adapted for contemporary use. Many windows are fitted with louvre or full-height boarded shutters.

The light-filled kitchen/breakfast room is partially open-plan to the dining room and together the rooms feature large windows facing the courtyard garden and French doors giving access. The stylish kitchen includes quartz work surfaces, a range cooker and an integrated Siemens dishwasher. Adjacent is a highly practical laundry cupboard with plumbing and electrics. The dining room is a versatile and elegant space enhanced by cornicing, ceiling rose and an ornate period fireplace and flanked by fitted bookshelves and cupboards with integrated power points.

The sitting room is a well-proportioned living space filled with light from the deep bay window, and featuring a period fireplace with decorative slips housing a coal-effect gas fire flanked by bookshelves.

The first floor landing incorporates a walk-in storage cupboard and provides access to three bedrooms and a superb family bathroom, fitted with a cast-iron claw-foot bath and a rainfall shower. Bedroom 2 benefits from wall-to-wall bespoke fitted wardrobes with a seamless, handleless finish, while bedroom 4 would serve equally well as a study or home office overlooking the street. Both bathrooms are beautifully appointed with Duravit fittings and Crosswater showers.

A staircase with new oak treads rises to the second floor, where the principal bedroom suite occupies the entire level. Bathed in natural light from a wide south-facing window and skylight, the room features oak floorboards, recessed spotlights and a contemporary en-suite shower room with heated towel rail and natural light.

Outside - To the front, a pretty garden is enclosed by original wrought-iron railings and gate, leading to the paved pathway and handsome front entrance.

At the rear, the walled courtyard garden is a private and attractive space, paved with York stone and enhanced with trellis for added height. Enjoying both south and west-facing light, it includes a small storage shed, pond, external tap and solar lighting.

A door from the rear hall provides access to a shared ginnel, serving three houses and offering convenient rear access.

Residents’ permit parking is available directly in front of the property.
