Description

This elegant Grade II listed period house holds significant historical importance within the local area. As one would expect of a property of this nature, it boasts an abundance of period features, including numerous exposed timbers and original details throughout. The accommodation spans approximately 3,000 sq ft across five floors, offering a versatile and generous living space. The top floor also presents the potential for dual living, as it can be easily converted into self-contained annexe accommodation if desired.

The accommodation is well arranged throughout. The main reception room is found to the front of the house and features impressively high ceilings, which enhance the sense of space and light, complemented by two large sash windows. The focal point of the room is a grand inglenook fireplace with exposed mellow red brick, a substantial oak bressumer beam, and an inset cast iron stove. The kitchen/diner is also situated at the front of the house and follows suit with high ceilings and exposed timber beams. French doors open to the rear, providing access to a sunny, southerly facing terrace. Completing the ground floor is a utility room, WC, office, and a ground floor bedroom having a fireplace with working wood burner, which offers flexible usage and could equally serve as a second reception room or large and luxurious study if required.

The first floor provides access to a stunning and generously sized family bathroom, complete with a striking rolltop bath, a separate shower cubicle, basin, and WC. Beyond lies a practical laundry room with ample built-in storage. The second floor offers four bedrooms, two of which are particularly generous in size and feature ornate fireplaces. The two smaller bedrooms were adapted in recent years, having previously been one larger room. They could easily be reinstated as a single room should this be preferred. The third floor provides access to a further large bathroom and an additional bedroom, which can be self-contained if required. This arrangement also offers the option of a luxurious large en suite for the adjoining bedroom. On the fourth floor, there are two bedrooms and an open-plan living area. All rooms on this level benefit from vaulted ceilings and exposed timber beams, creating a characterful and charming space. This floor could be adapted as a self-contained annexe for dual living or alternatively used as an additional source of income if let separately.

Externally

To the front, the property is approached via wrought iron gates, offering space for a small table and chairs if desired. The enclosed rear gardens enjoy a southerly aspect and are flooded with plenty of natural light. French doors from the kitchen give access to a large, sun-bathed terrace, creating an excellent space for al fresco dining. Beyond this lies an area of lawn which offers a good deal of privacy and seclusion.
