This beautifully maintained Edwardian residence offers an appealing combination of traditional architecture and comfortable modern living.

The spacious entrance hall makes a memorable first impression, with warm timber flooring, decorative cornicing and an elegant staircase setting the tone for the characterful accommodation beyond. A particularly special feature is the charming window seat, framed by painted panelling beneath tall windows, with a log burner set within an attractive fireplace alongside. This inviting corner creates a lovely spot to settle with a book or enjoy the warmth of the fire, giving the hallway a welcoming atmosphere rarely found in an entrance space.
