Description

153 Lordswood Road is a deceptively spacious, attractive red brick Edwardian semi-detached home which underwent an extensive 'back to brick' refurbishment in 2016. This included, amongst other things, a two-storey rear and side extension delivering a superb 9 meter long kitchen and a sizeable master bedroom. The refurbishment also included new bath/shower rooms, replacement roof, new double glazed windows throughout, new zoned central heating system/plumbing including underfloor heating to part of the ground floor, full electrical rewiring, replastering, insulation installation, new doors, flooring, brickwork repointing and landscaping. A 5m x 6m outbuilding was also erected to the rear of the garden with power, internet access and lighting. There is also access to the loft which provides an additional 500sqft of space currently used for storage purposes. There is potential for further development subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

There is abundant natural light throughout the home and the impressive ceiling heights enhance the home's light-filled, airy atmosphere.

The house is entered via a uPVC double glazed porch with a solid oak inner front door leading into the spacious reception hall. A stylish, polished tile floor with underfloor heating runs through into the kitchen to the rear. There is an excellent under stair pantry/store cupboard and a fully tiled WC and shower room.

There are two reception rooms; a particularly large living room with bay window to the front, and a good-sized second sitting room/dining room to the rear with double glazed French doors which open on to a sizeable patio space excellent for entertaining, offering a seamless indoor-outdoor living space.

The heart of the home is the striking, bright, airy and spacious kitchen also leading directly into the garden. The kitchen is sleek and modern, with white gloss base and wall units, full height cupboards and smart stone effect work-surfaces. There are integrated appliances including microwave, electric oven and grill, a four burner gas hob with extractor, full height fridge, full height freezer and a dishwasher. To the far end of the kitchen behind a peninsular breakfast bar is a seating area with bi-folding doors opening to a small area of decking overlooking the garden. In addition, a set of double glazed sliding doors open to the side patio.

On the first floor is a landing with a pull-down ladder for access to the large loft space (over 500sqft) which has a Velux rooflight. As aforementioned, there is potential for further development subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. There are four bedrooms; three generously sized double rooms (one with fully tiled en-suite shower room) and a single bedroom. There is also a well-appointed family bathroom with fully tiled floors and walls, electric underfloor heating, bath with shower over, WC, and wash basin with vanity storage unit.

To the rear is a lovely generous garden with an expansive paved terrace area suitable for entertaining which wraps around the back of the house and leads to a large, level lawn with a play area to the rear. To the bottom of the garden is a substantial 5m x 6m outbuilding with power, internet access and lighting.
