If you are looking for a hidden gem of a location, then this attractive Arts & Crafts style home, set within a highly desirable private road, is a property not to be missed. Offering tremendous potential to enhance and substantially extend (subject to the necessary consents), the property enjoys a wonderful setting within mature grounds. Already a charming family home, the accommodation includes four double bedrooms, generous reception space and a wealth of character features throughout.

Externally, the attractive façade is softened by established climbing plants, further enhancing the character of the house. The gardens wrap around the property and provide a wonderful degree of privacy, with mature trees, established planting and well-maintained boundaries creating a peaceful setting. Of particular note is the substantial side garden, which may offer further development potential, subject to the necessary planning consents.

An impressive reception hall provides a striking introduction to the property, featuring herringbone wood flooring, a turning staircase and a beautiful stained-glass window which allows natural light to flood the space. Generous in scale, the hall creates a welcoming first impression and gives access to the principal ground floor accommodation.

The 313 sq ft reception room is a superb living space, enhanced by exposed ceiling beams, parquet flooring and a feature fireplace. Generous proportions and French doors opening directly onto the garden make it ideal for both everyday family living and entertaining.

Positioned off the reception hall, the dining room is a well-proportioned space suited to both family meals and more formal occasions. Character features including exposed beams and parquet flooring create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

A further spacious reception room, currently utilised as a study, provides an ideal work-from-home environment but could equally serve as a playroom, snug or hobby room depending on individual requirements.

The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home and is fitted with an extensive range of traditional-style cabinetry, generous work surfaces and a substantial central island with breakfast bar. Designed with day-to-day family living in mind, it offers excellent space for cooking, dining and entertaining, with direct access to the garden.

The first floor is arranged around an impressive galleried landing, enhanced by original floorboards and an attractive stained-glass feature window. The landing provides access to all four double bedrooms and the family bathroom, while reflecting the character and proportions found throughout the property.

The principal bedroom is a generously proportioned room enjoying a dual aspect overlooking the surrounding gardens. Benefiting from fitted wardrobes and ample space for additional furniture, it provides a peaceful retreat.

There are three further double bedrooms, two of which benefit from fitted wardrobes and all of which are served by the family bathroom.

The family bathroom is fitted with a contemporary suite comprising a panelled bath, separate walk-in shower and vanity unit with inset wash hand basin. Bright and spacious, it is complemented by a separate WC.

Predominantly laid to lawn, the grounds offer excellent space for families to enjoy, while a number of seating areas provide ideal spots for outdoor dining and entertaining. A detached garage/outbuilding provides useful ancillary space and offers flexibility for a variety of uses, including home working, hobbies or storage.
