The kitchen

Bespoke shaker cabinetry with brass hardware and solid timber work surfaces house a range-style cooker and Belfast sink beneath a vaulted ceiling with skylights and exposed timber trusses. Flagstone flooring, a striking patterned tile splashback and open shelving add character, while a broad opening connects effortlessly to the family room and out onto the garden.

The family room
Extending from the kitchen, the family room offers an informal space for reading, chatting or watching television. Exposed timber trusses span the vaulted ceiling and a full-height picture window frames the outlook across the side return. The continuous flagstone floor ties the space to the kitchen, and its open-plan layout makes it ideal for day-to-day living and entertaining, with access onwards to the rear garden.

The dining room
The dining room provides a formal yet relaxed setting for family meals and entertaining. A striking chimney breast with deep timber mantel creates a focal point, complemented by engineered herringbone-style flooring underfoot. Glazed doors connect with the hallway and kitchen, while a built-in storage cupboard adds practicality for everyday use. There is ample room for a large dining table, making this a versatile space for gatherings.

The living room
At the front of the home, the living room is a welcoming retreat for everyday relaxation. A handsome cast-iron fireplace with colourful tiled slips and a wood-burning stove takes centre stage, while built-in shelving and cabinetry to one side provide practical storage. A wide bay window fitted with shutters frames the street scene beyond, and the room’s proportions allow for comfortable seating around the hearth.

The cloakroom
Conveniently positioned on the ground floor, the cloakroom provides a practical WC for guests and family. A distinctive circular stained-glass window set within a brick surround lends character, while half-height glazed tiling adds a touch of style. The space is completed by a compact vanity unit with brassware and a close-coupled toilet.

The primary bedroom
The principal bedroom stretches across the width of the house on the first floor, offering generous proportions for rest and relaxation. A large window provides an elevated outlook over Rectory Road. A stripped pine door and neutral palette contribute to a calm and restful atmosphere.

The second bedroom
Positioned on the second floor, the second bedroom accommodates a double bed beneath a gently sloping ceiling. A window provides views over the frontage and adds headroom, creating a comfortable sleeping area with space for a desk or reading corner. This versatile room would suit guests or older children alike.

The third bedroom
Also on the second floor, the third bedroom is tucked beneath the eaves. A large Velux roof window set into the slope of the ceiling draws the eye upward and offers an ever-changing sky view, while low-level cupboards within the eaves provide useful storage. A sliding barn-style door opens into a fitted cupboard space, optimising floor space in this cosy room.

The fourth bedroom
Situated on the first floor, the fourth bedroom is a compact single room ideal for a child, study or nursery. A window overlooking the rear garden brings in natural light, while the elongated layout provides space for a bed and additional furniture. Its adaptable proportions lend themselves to a variety of uses.

The shower room
Serving the bedrooms on the upper floors is a contemporary shower room. A generous walk-in enclosure with black-framed screen and rainhead shower sits alongside a pedestal wash basin, while white metro-tiled walls contrast with patterned floor tiles for a stylish finish. A concealed cistern WC and high-level window complete the room.

The garden
The garden extends from the rear of the house to provide an inviting outdoor retreat. A paved terrace adjoins the kitchen, creating a perfect spot for dining or entertaining, with raised planters and shrubs adding interest along the borders. Beyond the current fenced section, the garden continues further to the rear with additional enclosed space offering excellent scope for landscaping or enhancement, allowing buyers the opportunity to create a larger garden tailored to their needs.

Reservation Fee - refundable on exchange

A reservation fee, refundable on exchange, is payable prior to the issue of the Memorandum of Sale and after which the property may be marked as Sold Subject to Contract. The fee will be reimbursed upon the successful Exchange of Contracts.

The fee will be retained by Andrew Grant in the event that you the Buyer withdraws from the purchase or does not Exchange within 6 months of the fee being received other than for one or more of the following reasons:

2. Serious and material defect in the seller’s legal title.
3. Local search revealing a matter that has a material adverse effect on the market value of the property that was previously undeclared and not in the public domain.
4. The vendor withdrawing the property from sale.

The reservation fee will not be refunded where there is an inability on the part of the Buyer to raise any required mortgage after the Memorandum of Sale is completed.

Once the reservation fee has been paid, any renegotiation of the price stated in the memorandum of sale for any reason other than those covered in points 1 to 3 above will lead to the reservation fee being retained.
