Property Highlights
This is a home that truly offers a grand welcome, with its original period features beautifully preserved and thoughtfully enhanced by modern additions. The vast living spaces and generous grounds provide an abundance of room for both family living and entertaining. The property benefits from a beautifully maintained walled garden, extensive off-road parking for multiple vehicles, and a prime location on an established and sought-after road.

Enter through the double timber and glass panel doors into the inviting Entrance Porch, a space filled with natural light from a side window, and featuring charming period stone tiling and exposed brick walls. An impressive, period-style composite door then opens into the inviting Entrance Hall. Here, the character features include high ceilings with deep coving, a high-level picture rail, and deep moulded skirting boards. There is a stunning original solid marble floor, an ornate leaded glass window, and an impressive staircase flows to the first floor with original balustrades and a solid hardwood handrail. 

A small Vestibule leads from the hall, featuring a double swinging period door, a useful understairs storage cupboard, a door to the kitchen and an internal door into the garage.

The Living Room is a vast and versatile space, originally two separate rooms, now used as a fantastic social living area and could easily be partitioned back into two generously sized rooms to suit a new owner’s needs. The room is flooded with natural light from two bay windows with their original sash windows and secondary glazing. A period-style gas fireplace with a remote start, an attractive tiled surround, a marble mantelpiece, and a slate hearth provides a wonderful focal point in the room, and there is deep coved cornicing, cast ceilings and glass panel double doors provide seamless access to the dining room.

Situated in the extended part of the property, the Formal Dining Room offers exceptional versatility. It currently serves as a formal dining space but could also be an excellent playroom or work-from-home office or even be opened through to the kitchen to create a modern open-plan layout, if desired (subject to relevant consent). Glass panelled French doors with sidelight windows provide access to the rear garden, while a handmade window to the side elevation matches the original leaded windows of the entrance hall. A period-style open fireplace with a tiled surround and marble hearth adds to the room's character.

The fantastic Kitchen/Dining Room strikes a perfect balance between a traditional feel and a modern finish. The Karndean floor flows seamlessly into the garden room, and the impressive high ceilings enhance the sense of space. There is ample room for a generous dining table in the centre of the room and an attractive exposed brick chimney breast houses a period cast-iron range. The high-specification shaker-style fitted kitchen includes a range of eye and base level units with concealed bins, deep pan drawers, a spice drawer, concealed waste bins, and bespoke storage. There is a square-edge worktop with matching splashbacks, a ceramic one-and-a-half-bowl sink, and integrated 'BOSCH' appliances including a dishwasher, a high-level oven and separate combination oven, a five-ring gas hob with an extractor hood over, and a low-level kickboard heater.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the tranquil Garden Room, which offers a peaceful place to sit and enjoy views over the garden. It benefits from windows to two full elevations, French doors that open to the patio, Karndean flooring, and there are doors leading to the ground floor WC, utility room, and the kitchen. 

The ground floor WC features ceramic tiled flooring, a rear-facing window, a white heated towel radiator and a two-piece suite to include a low-level WC and a compact wash basin built into a useful storage unit. 

Separate Utility Room, bathed in natural light from the Velux window and offering ample storage with fitted units, additional worktop space, a stainless steel sink, and plumbing for laundry appliances (not included). In addition to this, there is an internal door into the garage and access into the generous storage room.

The stairs flow up to the First Floor Landing, which is filled with natural light from a double glazed and stained-glass side window and retains a great sense of period charm. Original painted timber doors provide access to all the rooms and a drop-down hatch and ladder allows access to the loft, which is partially boarded. 

Upstairs, you will find Five Bedrooms, four of which are generous double sized rooms. The Principal Bedroom Suite and Bedroom Two both feature double glazed sash windows to the front and an array of fitted wardrobes, providing excellent storage. The Third Bedroom benefits from dual aspect windows and a fitted sink for convenient use for guests, while the Fifth Bedroom, although currently used as a bedroom, would make for an ideal office, nursery or a dressing room.

The impressive Family Bathroom is a great-sized room with solid oak flooring, a rear-facing window, and a useful airing cupboard housing the hot water tank and ample storage space. It features two traditional brass towel radiators and a four-piece suite including a low-level WC, a wash hand basin built into a gorgeous marble worktop with storage and antique brass taps, a panel-enclosed jacuzzi-style bath with period brass monobloc taps and shower head attachment, and an oversized walk-in shower with a low threshold. 

A separate First Floor Shower Room features a sash window to the rear, tiled splashbacks, and a three-piece suite with a low-level WC and wash hand basin built into a useful vanity unit, as well as a corner shower enclosure with a low threshold and a thermostatic shower.

The Integral oversized Garage is practical and well-equipped, featuring quarry tiled flooring, a newly fitted high-specification garage door with a 70/30 split for easy pedestrian access, a Belfast sink, and two internal doors into the property. The modern ‘Vaillant’ gas fired boiler and electric consumer units are located in the garage providing convenient access for maintenance.

A path leads from the patio, past a greenhouse, vegetable beds, and well-stocked borders, to a generous lawn. A further patio area sits at the rear of the garden creating an ideal spot to sit and enjoy the sun and houses a timber summerhouse with mains electric, while an extensive timber shed is situated down one side of the property providing excellent storage.
