Positioned in the very heart of Ashley Cross Village, this charming Victorian semi-detached family home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern upgrades, creating a refined and highly desirable home ideally suited to professional couples, small families, and those seeking flexible home-working space.From the moment you step inside, the property’s period charm is immediately apparent, with character features seamlessly woven into a contemporary lifestyle. The ground floor offers an elegant lounge centred around a wood-burning stove with a double stainless-steel flue, providing both visual impact and efficient warmth. To the rear, the dining room forms the social heart of the home, complete with doors opening directly onto the south-west facing rear garden, allowing natural light to flood the space and creating a seamless indoor–outdoor flow—perfect for entertaining and relaxed family living.The kitchen is well-proportioned and practical, complementing the dining area while retaining the home’s Victorian integrity. A distinctive feature within the dining room fireplace is a radiator cube styled to resemble a traditional fire grate, delivering an impressive and efficient 3,200 BTUs.Upstairs, the home offers two generous double bedrooms alongside two well-appointed bathrooms, a layout created when the property was reconfigured from its original arrangement, now prioritising space and comfort. This configuration is particularly appealing for couples requiring a dedicated home office or guest suite.The loft has been super insulated with a cold roof system, meaning both the roof and first-floor ceiling are insulated for enhanced energy efficiency. The current owners have already begun preparations for a full loft conversion, including plasterboard ceilings, heating, and lighting, resulting in a spacious, open area that presents exceptional potential to create an additional bedroom, office, or studio (subject to consents).Externally, the home benefits from a recent silicone render, a premium finish far superior to traditional sand and cement renders. Silicone render offers enhanced durability, resistance to cracking, and improved protection against environmental wear—ensuring the property remains both visually striking and structurally robust. The landscaped rear garden is private, low maintenance, and perfectly orientated to enjoy afternoon and evening sun.Schools: Old School House Nursery and Pre School—0.3 miles.
