Set across three wonderful floors, this superb five-bedroom Victorian home with a beautifully landscaped 38ft south-facing garden, offering elegant proportions, period charm, and a versatile layout.

Set behind a mature front garden with established shrubbery, the property opens into a deep and inviting hallway that immediately showcases the scale and character of the home.

To the front, the generous double reception room spans the length of the house, filled with natural light and charm.

Finished with chic wooden flooring and flooded with light from multiple skylights and floor-to-ceiling bifolding doors, the room seamlessly connects with the garden. The contemporary kitchen features sleek cabinetry, generous prep and storage space, a Quooker tap offering boiling and filtered water, and a suite of integrated appliances. A conservatory-style extension houses a relaxed dining area, creating a true heart of the home. Underfloor heating runs throughout the kitchen and adjoining guest WC, adding further comfort. A separate utility zone with additional sink and cabinetry sits conveniently off the kitchen.

The beautifully landscaped south-facing garden extends to approximately 38ft and is framed with lush planting, paved entertaining areas, a lawn, and a shed to the rear—ideal for outdoor storage. It’s a tranquil and private setting, perfect for summer evenings and family playtime.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom spans the front of the house and boasts tall ceilings, bespoke built-in wardrobes, a feature fireplace, and twin sash windows that bathe the room in light. Two further bedrooms and a stylish, fully tiled family bathroom complete the first floor.

The second floor hosts two additional well-proportioned bedrooms, both light and airy, along with a smart shower room—ideal for guests, older children or as home office space.
