4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Hardman Road, Kingston Upon Thames KT2

This traditional bay fronted period home provides an escape from the hustle and bustle of the town centre and has surprisingly bright and spacious accommodation across three floors. (The loft was converted in 2011). A prominent feature of this welcoming home is the lovely, stripped wood floorboards.

The ground floor (g/f) accommodation comprises a good size entrance hall with under-stairs cupboards and with doors leading to all g/f rooms consisting of a front and rear reception room and a galley kitchen. A front reception room, set up as the dining room, has a distinctive blue tiled fireplace including timber surround and mantle. The sitting room, situated to the rear, has a bright southerly aspect, and enjoys leafy garden views. Adjacent to this a galley style kitchen with rear aspect window overlooking the garden and is fitted with traditional wood fronted units and worktops with inset Belfast sink and under counter space for all usual appliances.

Upstairs, the landing opens to all first-floor rooms with a staircase rising to the second (top) floor. There are three bedrooms on the first floor; two generous doubles and a good size single currently used as a home office / study. The front aspect bedroom is currently used as a second sitting room; replicating both size and a similar tiled fireplace and surround to the reception room below. The bathroom on this floor has a white suite and features the original classic roll top cast-iron bath complete with ball and claw feet.

The second floor, with its high ceiling, consists of a principal bedroom opening to a modern ensuite shower room. The bedroom area enjoys lovely, elevated leafy and peaceful views across the garden and yonder, with superb greenery that is very unusual for a town centre. There is recessed storage, in addition to eaves storage space.

Outside, the mature, calming and peaceful garden, which is a sea of green and colour in the summer, is incredibly private for such a central location. A true oasis in urban surroundings, with established plants, shrubs and several trees including two apple trees. There is a small outside store that forms part of the rear of the property. The property provides scope to extend at ground floor level. Given its unusual privacy, if additional space is needed, the property has the potential to be part-extended on the first floor level too, STPP.
