Arranged over three floors, the property provides five well-proportioned bedrooms, a dedicated home office, a beautiful family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower, a further bathroom to the top floor and a superb arrangement of outdoor spaces including the raised terrace, enclosed courtyard and useful storage below.

Internally, the property is accessed via a welcoming entrance hallway which immediately showcases the quality and character found throughout the home. Tall ceilings, decorative cornicing, traditional wall panelling and an impressive arched opening frame the staircase, while natural timber doors and carefully considered decoration complement the property’s period origins.

The principal lounge is a wonderful reception room of excellent proportions, featuring a large bay window which allows an abundance of natural light to flood the space. An attractive feature fireplace provides a natural focal point, complemented by ornate ceiling detailing, built-in shelving and beautifully presented interiors. The generous dimensions provide ample space for a range of seating, creating an elegant yet comfortable room equally suited to everyday family life and entertaining.

To the rear, the heart of the home is the superb kitchen and dining space. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed around a substantial central island, finished with contrasting dark cabinetry, light work surfaces and attractive brass detailing. An extensive range of additional fitted cabinetry provides excellent storage, while the island offers both generous preparation space and informal seating, creating a wonderfully sociable environment.

The kitchen flows naturally into the adjoining dining area, with ample space for a family-sized dining table and excellent natural light provided by the tall windows. Timber flooring continues throughout, enhancing the sense of flow between the different areas and creating a practical yet characterful space for everyday family living and entertaining.

Beyond the kitchen is a fantastic additional family room, providing a more informal living space and a superb connection with the outside. Featuring striking decorative wall panelling and a vaulted ceiling, the room is flooded with natural light through full-width glazed doors which open directly onto the raised rear terrace. This creates a particularly appealing indoor/outdoor arrangement and provides an ideal space for relaxing and entertaining during the warmer months.

The first floor continues to impress, providing a collection of three generously proportioned bedrooms, each displaying its own individual character. The bedrooms retain many of the features expected of a period property of this calibre, including tall ceilings, large windows, decorative wall treatments and feature fireplaces.

One of the rooms is currently utilised as a dedicated home office and provides an excellent space for those working from home. With a large window providing plenty of natural light and space for both a desk and additional seating, the room offers considerable versatility and could equally be adapted to suit a purchaser’s individual requirements.

One of the standout features of the first floor is the impressive family bathroom. Generously proportioned and beautifully finished, the room features elegant painted wall panelling alongside a freestanding bath, separate walk-in shower, WC and contemporary vanity storage. The combination of traditional detailing and modern fittings creates a luxurious yet sympathetic finish perfectly suited to the character of the property.

The second floor provides further bedroom accommodation, with two bedrooms, one of which is currently being utilised as a dressing room.. Light and spacious, this floor offers a greater degree of privacy and is complemented by a beautifully appointed additional bathroom featuring classic metro-style tiling, a bath with shower over and attractive herringbone-style flooring.

Externally, the property offers a particularly appealing and cleverly designed arrangement of outdoor spaces. Full-width glazed doors from the rear family room open directly onto an enclosed raised decked terrace, creating a natural extension of the internal living accommodation. Beautifully presented with established planting and colourful pots, the terrace provides an excellent setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing.

Steps lead from the raised terrace to the enclosed rear courtyard, with the elevated deck also providing useful storage beneath. A further secluded patio seating area is attractively softened by mature planting and colourful borders, creating another private space for outdoor dining and entertaining. The combination of the raised terrace and lower courtyard provides a surprising amount of practical and usable outside space for a traditional period property, whilst also providing off street parking for one vehicle.

A truly individual home, the property has been thoughtfully improved while retaining the architectural character and proportions that make houses of this period so desirable. From the magnificent entrance hallway and bay-fronted reception room through to the statement kitchen, flexible family accommodation and beautifully presented outdoor spaces, this is a home with considerable personality and one which must be viewed to fully appreciate the scale, quality and attention to detail on offer.
