The Approach

Positioned above the road behind an established front garden, number 63 makes a charming first impression with its traditional red-brick elevations, prominent bay windows and attractive gabled detailing. Mature shrubs and neatly defined planting soften the frontage, while steps lead towards the glazed entrance porch. The elevated setting gives the property a pleasing sense of separation from the road, with its handsome proportions and characterful façade hinting at the inviting accommodation within.

On the Ground Floor

The entrance porch opens into a welcoming hallway, where a staircase rises to the first floor and doors provide access to the principal ground-floor accommodation. The hallway offers a practical introduction to the home, with neutral decoration and useful storage beneath the stairs.

Positioned at the front of the property, the lounge is a generously proportioned reception room, with a broad bay window drawing natural light into the space. A substantial stone fireplace extends across one wall, creating an impressive focal point and lending the room a distinctive character. Soft neutral tones and comfortable proportions provide an inviting setting for everyday relaxation, with ample space for a variety of furniture arrangements.

Towards the rear, the kitchen and dining room form a wonderfully sociable part of the home, connected by striking exposed brick archways which bring warmth and architectural interest to the space. The kitchen is arranged with a selection of fitted wall and base cabinets, generous worktop space and a breakfast bar, while a large window above the sink overlooks the garden. The traditional cabinetry and tiled finishes offer an opportunity for future updating, while the existing arrangement provides a practical foundation for everyday cooking and entertaining.

Beyond the kitchen, the dining room is a particularly appealing space, combining comfortable proportions with direct access to the rear terrace through glazed doors. An exposed brick fireplace with a freestanding stove creates an attractive focal point, complemented with neutral decoration. There is ample room for a dining table and additional seating, making this a versatile space for family meals, entertaining or simply enjoying the garden outlook. The connection between the kitchen, dining room and outside seating area creates a natural flow for relaxed indoor-outdoor living.

On the First Floor

A carpeted staircase rises to the first-floor landing, where a beautiful stained-glass window introduces colour and character while allowing natural light to filter into the space. This charming feature is complemented by traditional internal doors and a neutral decorative scheme, with the landing providing access to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a generously proportioned double room positioned at the front of the property, enjoying natural light through its box-bay window. Currently used as a creative workspace, the room demonstrates the flexibility of the accommodation, with plenty of scope to create a comfortable main bedroom. Exposed timber floorboards add character and offer an appealing starting point for a personalised decorative scheme.

Bedroom two is another well-proportioned double room, positioned at the rear of the property and enjoying a particularly attractive outlook across the established garden. A broad window frames the greenery beyond, creating a peaceful atmosphere, while the room comfortably accommodates a double bed and additional bedroom furniture. Soft decorative finishes and a feature wallpapered wall add warmth to this inviting space.

The third bedroom is a comfortable room, also enjoying a window overlooking the garden. Its practical proportions make it suitable for use as a child’s bedroom, guest accommodation or a dedicated home office, offering flexibility to suit changing household requirements.

Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, fitted with a white suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over, pedestal wash basin and WC. Neutral wall tiling and a large obscure-glazed window create a bright, practical space.

Garden

The rear garden is a particularly appealing feature of this home, offering a wonderful combination of paved entertaining space, established planting and a peaceful, leafy setting. Immediately adjoining the house, a generous paved terrace provides ample room for outdoor furniture, potted plants and relaxed alfresco dining, with direct access from the dining room creating an easy connection between the interior and garden. Attractive brick and stone retaining walls introduce character and define the different levels, while steps lead upwards through an abundance of mature shrubs, flowering plants and established greenery.

Beyond the terrace, the garden opens into a lawned area, bordered by mature hedging and an assortment of colourful planting that creates a wonderfully natural atmosphere. The gently rising landscape offers a variety of spaces to enjoy, whether relaxing in the sunshine, tending to the garden or creating further seating areas amongst the greenery.
