Property Details

This elegant mid-terrace home blends period charm with modern comfort. Set behind a tidy forecourt garden, the original sage green front door opens into a welcoming hallway with the original tiled floor, high ceilings and detailed cornicing. Two bright reception rooms sit to the front and centre of the home, connected by an open archway. The front lounge features a bay window, decorative ceiling plasterwork, and custom-built alcove storage and bookshelves. French doors from the rear dining room open onto the private south and west-facing courtyard, ideal for afternoon and early evening sun.

The kitchen continues the classic feel with shaker-style units, solid worktops, and integrated appliances. Dual-aspect windows add light and character.

From the kitchen, timber boarded doors leads to the outside and downstairs to a generous cellar room with good head height and offering plumbing and electrics. Perfect for storage, a hobby space, a home gym or even for conversion.

Upstairs, the first floor offers two spacious double bedrooms. The front bedroom has an original cast iron fireplace and is part decorated in Farrow & Ball ‘Vert de Terre’. The second bedroom retains its exposed wooden floors and also features a cast iron fireplace. The large bathroom is styled in keeping with the home’s heritage, with sage metro tiling, a traditional suite, and underfloor heating for added comfort.

The top floor bedroom runs the full width of the house with large dual-aspect windows and built-in eaves storage. Neighbouring properties have reconfigured this space to create two bedrooms and ensuite if required.

Outside, the rear courtyard has been thoughtfully designed with space for seating and potted plants, making the most of its south-west-facing aspect.
