PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
This unique and attractive house has been extended to the rear and into the loft to create a fabulous and spacious five bedroom home that combines elegant period proportions with contemporary décor, fixtures and fittings. Set over three floors, the accommodation comprises a huge, interconnected ground floor living space (plus a utility room and WC) with four bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and a top floor main bedroom suite.

Finished to a high standard throughout the property has lots of character with original features such as sash windows and wide bays, leaded lights, panelled doors, dado rails and cornicing, and several cast iron fireplaces with ornate tiled surrounds, sitting comfortably alongside engineered wood floors, modern glazed French and bifold doors, downlighters, and glossy fitted kitchen and bathroom cabinetry.

The ground floor has been opened up to create a continuous connected open plan living space that extends to over 50ft from the front living room to the rear kitchen diner. This offers lots of flexibility, with ample room for large lounge and dining areas in addition to the kitchen which has stylish glossy pale green wall and floor cabinets and a breakfast bar with black quartz worktops. A window above sink provides a garden view and a glazed door opens into the gated side access. The rear garden can also be accessed directly from the dining area which has bifold doors and steps down to a deck that’s ideal for al fresco drinks or dining. Also on the ground floor are a utility room with fitted cabinets and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, and a WC.

The first floor has four bedrooms (two of which are large doubles with original fireplaces and fitted wardrobes) and a fully tiled family bathroom with a bath with a thermostatic shower, a washbasin, WC, and heated towel rail. The top (loft) floor is home to the main bedroom suite. This is relatively self-contained, comprising a large bedroom with a fitted kitchenette, an en suite shower room and its own outdoor space in the form of a balcony with fabulous panoramic views and space for two outdoor armchairs.

Outside, the property has space for three cars on the block-paved drive, gated side access via a wide alley, and a 90ft landscaped garden with a deck and a sweeping paved path that incorporates a terrace and curves around the lawn leads to the end of the garden where there’s a multi-purpose studio with two windows and a glazed door.
