Description

A refined eye for interiors, a deep respect for period detail and a considered contemporary palette define this elegant Victorian home. Extended to the rear and thoughtfully reimagined, it offers beautifully proportioned rooms that balance everyday comfort with effortless entertaining. Its desirable east–west orientation draws natural light through the house from morning to evening, while a landscaped rear garden provides a seamless extension of the living space during the warmer months.

The property itself has been carefully maintained and upgraded over time, including being freshly painted inside and out in 2026 using Farrow & Ball, alongside the refurbishment and treatment of the original floors. Windows were replaced and upgraded in 2024 with new double glazing and hardwood sashes by The Sash Window Company, while an electric vehicle charging point was added to the garage. Earlier improvements include the installation of a new garage roof, electric garage door and driveway in 2015, a side return extension in 2004, and a loft conversion completed in 1986.

The accommodation is both generous and versatile, comprising three well-appointed double bedrooms and two striking reception rooms, ideally suited to families of varying needs. A loft room provides an excellent workspace or occasional guest room. In addition, the substantial attached double garage presents a rare opportunity—equally suited to secure parking or storage.

Entrance:
Attractive on approach, the façade is presented in immaculate white, with wide bay sash windows and elegant plasterwork true to the Victorian era. Set back from the road behind a neat hedgerow, the front garden provides a welcome sense of privacy. The attached garage is particularly noteworthy—generous in scale and a rare asset in this location, where on-street parking is at a premium.

Ground Floor:
The house makes an immediate impression on entry, with a clear sightline drawn through its full depth to the kitchen extension and garden beyond. High ceilings and a cohesive, design-led finish set the tone throughout. To the front, the sitting room retains beautiful period detail, where natural wood flooring is paired with a soft, neutral palette and a characterful fireplace, creating a warm focal point. The space is thoughtfully arranged to provide distinct zones for relaxation or home working.

To the rear, the kitchen extension is a striking contemporary addition. The eastern elevation is almost entirely glazed, with sleek black-framed doors and windows framing verdant garden views and flooding the space with natural light. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, it offers ample room for dining and gatherings, with a seamless connection to the outside. The kitchen itself is well appointed, incorporating integrated appliances, while selected freestanding pieces may be available by separate negotiation.

Sandstone flooring continues fluidly from the interior out to the garden terrace, enhancing the sense of indoor–outdoor living. Beyond, a well-maintained lawn is enclosed by original boundary walls and softened by established planting, including a graceful eucalyptus tree providing dappled shade. The garden is both secure and family-friendly, with planted borders bringing seasonal colour and interest.

Garden:
This beautifully landscaped garden offers a private and tranquil retreat, perfectly designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A neatly maintained lawn is bordered by mature planting and established trees, creating a lush, green backdrop, while a paved terrace provides an ideal space for outdoor dining.

The seamless connection to the home via wide, glazed doors—introduced as part of the 2020 glass dining room extension—enhances the sense of indoor-outdoor living, with the patio forming a natural continuation of the interior space. Thoughtfully designed with sustainability in mind, the garden also benefits from a 400-litre underground rainwater collection tank with pump, providing an eco-friendly solution for irrigation.

First Floor
Upstairs, three beautifully presented double bedrooms are filled with natural light, each finished with soft grey carpeting and a calming, neutral palette. Two overlook the garden, while the principal bedroom enjoys a westerly aspect to the front, where warm afternoon light filters through and views extend across the attractive neighbouring houses.

These rooms are served by a spacious, contemporary bathroom, finished with natural-toned brick tiles and a bath with shower above. Roof lights introduce additional light from above, offering the added pleasure of evening stargazing.

A loft room, accessed via paddle steps, provides a versatile additional space—ideal as a home office or occasional guest area. Fully carpeted and heated, with a Velux window drawing in natural light and offering rooftop views. Formally converted in 1986, the loft space offers the perfect extension of space.

Vendors’ Comments:
“From our very first viewing, it was the sense of space and natural light that stood out, and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed the house to life. It has been an ideal home for both raising our children and working remotely, with a layout that adapts beautifully to daily family life. We love to entertain, and the kitchen–dining space has truly come into its own for hosting—particularly in the summer months, when gatherings flow effortlessly out into the garden.
The area itself has so much to offer, with excellent local amenities including The Flour Pot Bakery at Fiveways and The Preston Park Tavern just at the end of the road—both firm favourites for food, wine and real ales. We are now ready to take on our next project, although we will greatly miss life here.”
