Beautifully shaped privet hedging borders the property's front garden affording a sense of privacy. The arched and recessed portico invites you through the period door with frosted oblong panes. Inside you're greeted with a bright hall with original cornicing and corbels and sublime 'Woodpecker' herringbone oak engineered flooring. This flows stylishly through the living space which runs open-plan past the original staircase to supply a notably spacious yet cosy feel. An Ecodesign log burner offers the ideal spot for lounging. This is next to French doors which lead rear to the garden. The front section of the living space boasts an original feature fireplace and some magically restored original wooden vertical shutters to the sash bay window.

Enroute to the kitchen you'll pass bespoke storage which has been deftly tucked under the stairs - it hides a million sins and includes a handy laundry cupboard as well as space for shoes and coats!

The worktops are a stylish grey quartz with a one-and-half bowl undermount sink and appliances include AEG oven, four ring gas hob and integrated microwave and dishwasher. Funky industrial-grade Noraplan rubber flooring graces the whole space and you'll note Maxlight floor to ceiling aluminium ultra-slim sliding doors which open from either side onto a sunny patio. From here you enjoy a leafy south-facing garden which stretches to over 40ft, with a large sitting area, an apple tree and many mature shrubs including fragrant lilac, jasmine and honeysuckle.

Back inside, head upward to the wide and generous rear return. Here you meet a proper double bedroom with rear-facing garden views. Next to this is a family bathroom with pretty tiling, white suite, heated towel rail and side aspect sash window.

The first floor hosts a full-width double bedroom with twin sash windows, period feature fireplace and simple coving. Bedroom four, a fine bright double, has a feature fireplace and fitted shelving. Upward bound once again you find your masterfully converted loft which has a huge and wonderfully sunny double bedroom with recessed storage and a Juliette balcony with far-reaching rooftop views of your new neighbourhood. An adjoining en suite shower room (with Mira thermostatic dual rainfall and jet shower outlets) and large eaves storage cupboard completes the tour nicely. When converting the loft, the current owners obtained planning permission to increase the height of the house by 5 brick courses. The result is a master suite with significantly higher ceiling height than the average loft conversion.
