Description
A beautifully reimagined Victorian semi detached home, this exceptional property occupies a prime position within the sought after Hawthorn Lane Conservation Area, just 0.1 miles from the town centre. Behind its handsome façade lies a home of remarkable quality and finish, where period charm is seamlessly balanced with contemporary luxury to create elegant yet practical family living across four thoughtfully arranged levels.

From the outset, the attention to detail is evident. A sheltered porch and striking stained glass front door open into a welcoming entrance hall with solid wood flooring, setting the tone for the craftsmanship found throughout. To the front, the elegant living room is bathed in natural light from a bay window with original stained glass, complemented by a window seat, bespoke alcove shelving and a feature fireplace, a warm and inviting space for quieter moments.

Beyond the under stairs cloakroom, the house opens into a superb open plan kitchen, dining and living space that forms the heart of the home. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the bespoke Tom Howley kitchen features granite worktops and an impressive suite of high end appliances, including an Electric Aga, Neff induction hob, Miele ovens and integrated Miele coffee machine. A central island provides informal seating, while the generous dining area flows effortlessly into a lantern roofed family lounge, complete with gas stove and underfloor heating. Two sets of French doors lead directly onto the terrace and garden, creating a wonderful connection between indoor and outdoor living. Integrated Sonos sound enhances the atmosphere throughout this space.

A side hall provides useful external access, while stairs descend to the converted basement. This level offers a smart utility room alongside warm, dry and tiled storage space, with electric underfloor heating and excellent ceiling height, adding valuable flexibility to the accommodation.

The upper floors provide five well proportioned double bedrooms, all with high ceilings and original or feature fireplaces. The principal bedroom enjoys delightful views over the garden and benefits from a Juliet balcony, plantation shutters and bespoke fitted wardrobes. Additional bedrooms are equally well presented, with a mix of restored original glazing, sympathetic secondary glazing and high quality hardwood or UPVC windows. A brand new family bathroom, finished with Duravit sanitaryware, Axor fittings and a bath/shower combination, features underfloor heating, while a separate shower room is appointed with Imperial fittings and travertine tiling. Further storage cupboards complete the upper floors.

Outside, the property continues to impress. To the front is an attractive garden and an extended driveway providing parking for two cars. The rear garden is a particular highlight, private, enclosed and deceptively large, with mature trees, deep borders and hidden areas beyond the main lawn. A single storage room sits discreetly to the rear and steps lead down through the garden, creating a series of distinct and tranquil spaces ideal for both entertaining and family life.

Practical upgrades underpin the home’s refined appearance, including a full re wire with modern power bank, a re roof completed in 2007 using traditional rosemary tiles, upgraded heating systems, and carefully retained period features such as stained glass windows and fireplaces. The result is a house of rare quality rich in character yet effortlessly modern perfectly suited to contemporary living in one of the area’s most desirable locations.
