Overview

This outstanding Victorian period property has been sympathetically and beautifully renovated and reimagined by the current owners over the past four years. Every element has been thoughtfully upgraded, from the full rewire and replumbing to the new high-pressure heating and water system - all while preserving and reinstating the property’s original character. The elegant design throughout sits beautifully alongside an array of restored coving, picture rails, ceiling roses, and fireplaces, harmoniously blending with a contemporary Farrow & Ball colour palette, creating a home of remarkable warmth, style, and sophistication.

Accommodation

Beyond the charming storm porch with Minton-style tiling and handcrafted joinery lies a generous entrance hall showcasing the home’s heritage detailing. Impressive original Minton tiling has been lovingly restored, creating a fabulous focal point that draws you in. There are two reception rooms to the front of the property, the first of which is presently used as the formal family dining room. This elegant space, with its deep bay window, feature fireplace, and vintage-style radiators, is the perfect setting for family and friends to enjoy special dining occasions. Opposite this is the library, with exquisite bespoke cabinetry and a large picture window, creating an inviting family sitting room with parquet flooring and a decorative fireplace.

The heart of the home is the spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and living area - a showpiece of design with engineered oak flooring, sleek quartz countertops, handmade cabinetry, and elegant tiling, together with high-end integrated Bosch appliances including double ovens, a proving drawer, microwave/grill, dishwasher, and induction hob with a vented extractor above. Three large skylights flood the space with natural light, while bi-fold doors open seamlessly onto a covered terrace for year-round indoor-outdoor living. Other distinctive features of this fabulous space include a charming walk-in pantry, a generous family seating area, and a further adjacent snug. Leading off from this open-plan space is a second generous and beautifully styled kitchen, ideal for use as a “spice kitchen” if required, housing a second dishwasher and excellent storage. There is also a separate, well-appointed laundry room complete with washer and dryer, quartz countertops, and further storage, along with an enclosed boiler room housing the Worcester Bosch boiler and Megaflo high-pressure water system. A stylish cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs

The original staircase leads to a spacious first-floor landing and beautifully appointed double bedrooms, all with high ceilings, restored plasterwork, vintage-style radiators, and elegant period ornamental fireplaces. The principal suite is an elegant retreat, featuring bespoke fitted furniture, a custom headboard, and ample wardrobes. The luxurious principal en suite includes a stylish freestanding contemporary bath together with a double shower cubicle featuring a Crittall-style screen and brass fittings, including a large rain head shower.

Two additional double bedrooms on this floor also enjoy generous proportions, immaculate décor, and delightful views overlooking the living roof and landscaped gardens. The family bathroom mirrors the same high design standard, complete with freestanding bath, walk-in shower, wood panelling, and quality brassware.

The second floor offers two further exceptionally spacious double bedrooms - ideal guest suites or home offices - each with a seating area and double bed space, both enjoying dual-aspect windows and impressive views. They also benefit from excellent storage with clever use of the eaves space. Mirroring the same quality fixtures and fittings as the first-floor bathrooms, the contemporary shower room on the second floor features a spacious shower, inset hand basin with storage, and low-level WC.

Outside

Frontage

The exterior is every bit as impressive as the interior of this beautiful family home. To the front, the property is smartly presented with a new block-paved driveway offering parking for around four to five cars, neatly bordered with vintage brick and railway sleeper retaining walls, creating beds for an array of mature shrubs. The handsome hand-crafted storm porch, framed by wisteria, creates the perfect entrance to this charming home.

Rear Terrace and Gardens

Seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living, the open-plan family space extends through elegant bi-fold doors onto a magnificent covered terrace. Thoughtfully designed for year-round enjoyment, this impressive area is perfectly appointed for entertaining, featuring provisions for an outdoor kitchen and BBQ, as well as a mains gas connection for a future fire pit. Generous seating zones invite relaxed gatherings and alfresco dining beneath the shelter of the terrace - an idyllic setting for both intimate family moments and sophisticated summer soirées.

Above the open-plan kitchen and family room, a breathtaking living roof unfurls around the trio of striking lantern windows - a masterpiece of design and sustainability. Thoughtfully conceived to delight the eye from every vantage point, it offers an ever-changing tapestry of colour and texture throughout the seasons. In summer, it comes alive with the gentle hum of bees and the flutter of butterflies, creating a vibrant ecological haven that beautifully complements the home’s refined architecture. This remarkable feature is both a visual triumph and a testament to the owners’ inspired attention to detail.

The rear gardens are a haven of peace and tranquillity and, despite first impressions, have been designed to suit even the most amateur gardener. With clever planting creating colour for all seasons, the garden unfolds into a series of enchanting microclimates. A herringbone brick pathway leads front to back, with an arbour adorned with Pyracantha, Clematis, and a mature grapevine. Wooden gates lead off both sides of the garden, each opening into its own special area. The first, aptly named the Orchard, is complete with apple, plum, peach, mulberry, and pear trees. Meandering along a natural pathway, this area leads into a truly beautiful Japanese garden - the perfect spot to sit, relax, and enjoy. On the opposite side of the path are further delightful enclosed garden areas with quiet seating spots. Along the central pathway, a large insulated workshop and multiple storage sheds provide practicality, while an irrigation system ensures effortless maintenance.

A further terrace provides a lovely enclosed seating area with double doors leading into the delightful hot house with bespoke shelving, storage, and terracotta tiled flooring. As the pathway continues through the centre of the garden, picket gates lead into individually designated horticultural zones creating microclimates that thrive throughout the seasons. To one side is a wonderful orchard area with an array of productive fruit trees including pear, apple, plum, and peach. A woodland pathway leads through a wooden arbour into the tranquil and well-designed Japanese-style garden, where an abundance of Acers and thoughtful landscaping create a serene escape from busy life, enhanced by the gentle sound of water trickling through the stream. A bridge over the stream leads to the yoga studio at the end of this idyllic garden. With its own porch seating area, high-pitched roof, and ample space, this offers a multitude of options for the new owners to enjoy, with a further storage shed behind completing the space.

Finally, with festoon, automatic-sensor lighting and outdoor power throughout, the resulting garden is a private sanctuary of exceptional craftsmanship - both indoors and out.
