Beautifully designed and sympathetically modernised, this Victorian terrace house provides all the character and charm of a period property with the benefit of being recently updated, providing the perfect family home. The property has been finished to a high standard incorporating quality fixtures and period features. The 120ft gardens have been zoned into entertaining areas with a mixture of path, grass, and decking areas. The main living space is open-plan and the kitchen, with AGA (available by separate negotiation) and newly fitted units, is the heart of the home and can house a large dining table, ideal for large families and entertaining. The practical utility room with plumbing for washing machine, WC and access to the garden, keeps the laundry separate from the kitchen.

The Property

Entrance – Classically designed front garden, with laurel hedging to one side and potential to landscape further, welcomes you into the entrance hall of this Victorian property. With coat hooks to one side the tiled entrance hall is a practical and attractive entrance to the property.

Hallway – The long hallway with Victorian corbels and half-panelled walls lead your eye through to the open-plan dining room and kitchen beyond.

Reception Room – The sitting room at the front of the property has a stunning bay window with modern half-slatted shutters. The original fireplace is the central feature of the room, flanked by alcoves ideal for shelving. A charming and cosy space, well-connected to the hub of the home whilst providing privacy in the evenings.

Dining Room & Kitchen – At the heart of the home is a wonderful space, full of character with half-panel walls and oak parquet flooring that runs through the kitchen. The striking blend of old and new continues with original pine cupboard, quartz worktop, AGA cooker (available by separate negotiation) and a skylit extension with French doors leading out on the garden terraces. 

Utility Room & WC – Through a small pine door at the rear of the kitchen is a utility room with built-in base units and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer and has a WC, window and door to the garden.

Cellar – Below the stairs is a door down to the cellar that is currently unconverted. There is plenty of storage space and could provide further living space, if necessary, subject to planning.
