Property Description

The entrance hall features a solid, period designed front door, with solid brass fixings and glazed over-light. The original, Victorian, tiled, restored floor sits beside a straight-flight, traditional staircase with useful understairs storage and a traditional, three column radiator.

Leading off the hallway is an impressive sitting room, centrally featuring an Aegean limestone fireplace with a highlighted, cast-iron insert, over a slate hearth. A traditional, three column radiator, adds character and warmth to the space. This is complimented by brown oak wood flooring and a high ceiling, complete with ornate, original ceiling moulding, replica picture rail and skirting. A large window, bathing the room in light, offers views across the garden. This creates an ideal relaxing space.

Opposite this is an elegant and spacious dining room, which complements the sitting room as it shares a matching fireplace, flooring and moulded woodwork. Large, dual aspect windows provide ample light and two, three column radiators lend comfort and warmth.

The kitchen, which is finished to an exceptional standard, leads off from the hallway and showcases gloss cream cupboards, dark, granite worktops and an Italian, porcelain tiled floor. The large, central island includes a breakfast bar, wide enough to seat three people, as well as a neff induction hob and neff ‘slide and hide’ single oven. The room features a dual oven, gas aga and space for an integrated dishwasher, American style fridge freezer and wine fridge. The traditional, three column radiator, servant bell board and Villeroy & Boch ceramic sink lend an air of classical elegance. The mix of contemporary and traditional features provide a fully modern kitchen that any cook would dream of whilst maintaining the historic character of the property.

The kitchen leads on to a breakfast room, with matching, Italian tiles, a three column traditional radiator and an abundance of natural light, with access to the rear garden.
