The Property - Situated in a convenient residential location, this delightful Victorian home effortlessly combines period charm with practical family living. Offering spacious accommodation, an abundance of natural light and a beautifully productive garden, this is a home that has been lovingly enjoyed and thoughtfully maintained over the years.
Inside, the property boasts generously proportioned rooms, including a welcoming front reception room featuring beautiful wooden flooring, creating a bright and versatile living space. Two original Victorian coal fireplaces remain in place, adding character and period charm, with the potential to be brought back into use subject to the necessary chimney maintenance.
The spacious, fully enclosed kitchen enjoys an abundance of natural light and offers an excellent layout for everyday family life. A hidden storage area beneath the stairs, accessed from the dining room, provides valuable additional storage.
Upstairs, you'll find well-sized bedrooms and an exceptionally large family bathroom, offering both comfort and practicality. Throughout the home, the thoughtful orientation allows natural light to flood the property while helping to keep it cool during the summer months, with solar film fitted to the windows to further reduce heat. During the winter, the property's position and neighbouring homes help retain warmth, making it an efficient and cosy place to live.
Outside, the rear garden is a true highlight. Beautifully established and fully enclosed, it has been cultivated into a productive fruit and vegetable garden, producing apples, pears, plums, berries, potatoes, sweetcorn and much more throughout the seasons. A unique enclosed "catio" provides a safe outdoor space for cats while also serving as an attractive garden feature, ideal for climbing plants or creating a peaceful spot to enjoy a morning coffee.
Further external features include the original telegraph pole, currently used for washing lines and capable of supporting lighting, security cameras or other garden accessories. The sheltered, walled front forecourt offers privacy, protection from the elements and an attractive entrance to the home.
For those looking to add value, the property offers exciting potential for a loft conversion and third-storey extension (subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations), making it an excellent long-term investment.
Conveniently positioned close to local schools, doctors' surgeries, convenience stores, supermarkets, pubs, green spaces and excellent transport links, including easy access to the Eastern Road and Kingston Road, the property is ideally located for both commuters and families alike.
The current owners also assure us that the house comes complete with four friendly resident spirits, who have allegedly been known to help with the washing up from time to time! Whilst this charming tale cannot be guaranteed, it certainly adds to the unique personality of this much-loved home.
Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the character, warmth and future potential this wonderful Victorian property has to offer.
