A Closer Look…

After parking up on the block-paved driveway, step through the solid wooden front door and through the porch. Notice the lovely stained-glass windows, giving you a sense of the charm that this house has in abundance. The entrance hallway is a grand and welcoming space, with ornate Sanderson flocked wallpaper. To your right is a sitting room, spacious and bright with dual aspect windows, including an arched bay window. As with most of the rooms in this home, a traditional fireplace creates a wonderful focal point, and ornate ceiling roses and coving adds to the character. Next door, a spacious lounge also boasts an arched bay window and an art-deco style open fireplace. Back through the hall, a dining room with a cast iron open fireplace creates a lovely space to host family meals. A newly fitted Ideal combi-boiler is discreetly housed within an antique wooden sideboard. Continue through the dining room to the kitchen, which has a range of fitted cream units with integrated oven, induction hob with extractor hood and under counter fridge. A door leads to the conservatory – the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast and watch the birds in the garden.

Upstairs…

Climb the half-turn staircase to the first floor, where a bright and airy landing offers an ideal space for a home study or reading nook. You'll find three spacious double bedrooms, as well as the bathroom and separate W.C. The master bedroom is decorated to create an indulgent suite, with William Morris wallpaper complimenting the continued traditional features, including an impressive cast iron fireplace and the decorative ceiling cornice.  Across the hallway, the second bedroom offers ample space for a double bed and furniture alongside the feature fireplace. A newly fitted double-glazed sash window frames the view over the rear garden. Bedroom three is also a great double size, filled with natural light from dual aspect windows. Completing the first floor, the bathroom is part-tiled in Minton hand crafted Victorian tiles, with a magnificent restored enamel roll-top bathtub with hand-painted artwork taking centre stage. There is also a traditional pedestal wash basin and a heated towel rail, and a separate W.C. next door for convenience.

Outside Oasis...

Step out of the conservatory and into a beautiful and tranquil garden, designed and landscaped by the former president of the Kew Botanical Gardens Guild. A beautiful English garden, with various patios, paths and quiet seating areas tucked away to enjoy the garden from different aspects. A manicured lawn hosts an established pond, surrounded by mature planting to encourage wildlife and provide visual interest throughout the year. To the side of the garden are brick-built outbuildings behind the detached garage, offering useful additional storage, utility space with plumbing provisions and electric supply, and an outside W.C. A secure pedestrian gate leads to the driveway and garage, which has a remote-controlled electric door. The front garden has decorative topiary to create charming curb appeal, alongside the block-paved driveway with double wrought-iron gates for peace of mind.
