A well-sized bedroom/home office follows, perfect for guests, working from home, or creative pursuits.

A true architectural highlight of the home is the original wooden staircase - a beautifully preserved centrepiece that rises elegantly from the hallway, adding texture, warmth, and authenticity. This staircase not only enhances the period feel of the property but also reflects the care taken to maintain its original craftsmanship. Throughout the home, restored 1930s light fittings, original switches, vintage furnishings, and lovingly maintained Victorian woodwork reinforce its rich character.

To the rear of the ground floor is a separate dining room which leads into a smart galley-style kitchen. The kitchen is fully fitted and offers a well-organised and practical layout, ideal for efficient everyday cooking. Clean white cabinetry is complemented by warm wood-effect countertops, creating a modern yet inviting aesthetic.

Step out from the kitchen into a charming private rear garden, designed for easy upkeep and relaxed outdoor living. Fully paved and bordered by raised flowerbeds, this space offers a tranquil setting for morning coffees, alfresco dining, or entertaining guests. As an end-of-terrace home, it benefits from direct street access to the garden, ideal for bicycles, bin access or deliveries.

The property has been upgraded with new double glazing throughout, enhancing comfort, energy efficiency, and sound insulation while staying true to the building’s period aesthetic.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts three well-sized double bedrooms, each benefiting from an abundance of natural light. The principal bedroom offers a tranquil retreat, with ample wall space suitable for built-in wardrobes, providing both comfort and practicality. A modern family bathroom suite and an additional W.C. Complete the upper level.

The main entrance to the home is located on Holbeck Row, a quiet no-through road that ensures minimal traffic and a peaceful atmosphere - particularly toward the rear of the home.

With its end-of-terrace position and unique layout, the property also offers development flexibility.
