The Property
The large entrance hall, featuring parquet flooring and an original fireplace, introduces the home’s blend of period elegance and spaciousness. To the right of the hallway, the family room exudes warmth and character, featuring a log burner, original sash windows, intricate picture rails, and deep skirting boards. Across the hall, the formal reception room includes a gas fireplace and retains its original charm with period detailing.
Toward the rear of the ground floor, a third reception room offers a stunning bay window, exposed oak floorboards, and another original fireplace, now fitted with a gas fire. The hallway leads to the rear garden through a beautifully detailed stained-glass door.
The kitchen, located at the rear of the home, is a stunning centrepiece. With a large central island, shaker-style cabinetry, and dark quartz countertops, it is both stylish and functional. Integrated Siemens appliances include two ovens, a microwave, a dishwasher, and a fridge. The kitchen also features a dining area with French doors opening onto the rear garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a well-appointed utility room, complete with built-in storage and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Conveniently located nearby is a downstairs WC.
The spacious landing on the first floor continues the theme of openness and elegance. The primary bedroom, located at the rear of the home, is generously proportioned and features dual-aspect windows overlooking the garden. It includes a dressing area with built-in wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite with his-and-her sinks and a large walk-in shower.
The second and third bedrooms are situated at the front of the property. One retains its original built-in wardrobes, while the other features modern, contemporary storage. A shared shower room services these two bedrooms. The fourth bedroom is a well-proportioned double room, offering flexibility for guests or family. The fifth bedroom, currently used as a home office, can easily function as an additional bedroom if required.
The family bathroom is a statement of modern design, featuring a freestanding bath and sleek, contemporary fixtures.
