Description

21 Halkyn Road is a really beautiful period house which has been thoughtfully restored and refurbished. Work undertaken by the current owner includes but is not limited to replacement windows to ground and first floors, new guttering, two new free standing showers, tiling, glassware and plumbing in primary en suite, new shower to second floor shower room, new plantation shutters to many rooms, relocation of boiler. Combining a contemporary lay-out and high quality specification with a traditional facade the result is one of the finest houses in the area. The attention to detail is superb with a high specification throughout. The house has classic period proportions but with a fresh and modern feel. The entire house is wonderfully bright and airy and the owners have decorated with tremendous taste and style.

The house is arranged over three levels. Entry to the property is through a covered porch leading into a vestibule which serves as a useful cloaks area. The original stained glass windows are a really lovely feature. On the ground floor is a beautiful reception hall with an understairs cupboard providing useful storage. To the right side of the reception hall is a sitting room with bay window, a decorative fireplace with tiled hearth and plantation shutters. There is access from this room through to the kitchen.

The dining room is open-plan through to the kitchen/breakfast area. The kitchen has been really well thought out with a range of high quality fitted units, integrated appliances, wine cooler and wine rack, pantry and a central breakfast island with integrated sink. The dining area has a really beautiful original marble fireplace with tiled hearth providing a very attractive contrast to the slick kitchen space. The dining area again has excellent storage with fitted cupboards and display shelving. Off the kitchen is a utility room with fitted storage units, sink, plumbing for a washing machine and access out to the garden. Beyond the utility room is a WC with wash hand basin and heated towel rail.

A beautiful solid wood staircase leads up to the first floor where the magnificent principal bedroom suite is situated. The principal bedroom has a dressing room with built-in hanging racks and shelving and a superb en suite bathroom with free-standing bath and separate shower cubicle. There is a guest bedroom on this level and also the family bathroom which has a free-standing claw foot bath with shower over.

On the second floor is a further shower room which serves an additional three guest bedrooms but any of these rooms could easily be used as a study or home office.

To the rear of the property is a south-west-facing courtyard garden which benefits from sunshine for much of the day. The courtyard garden has been paved and partially decked to create an easy to maintain entertaining space. There is an outbuilding which is currently used for storage but could be ideal for a variety of uses. The outbuilding has power so could also be used to house a freezer or as an extension to the utility space creating additional storage if required.

The front of the property has been paved to create off-street parking. There is also on-street parking.
