A beautiful semi-detached Victorian family home offering 2,165 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged over three floors. Configured to provide a practical and cohesive living and entertaining environment, it sensitively combines modern amenities, quality fixtures and fittings and elegant décor throughout with period features including sash glazing, generously proportioned rooms, high ceilings and some original fireplaces. The accommodation flows from an entrance porch and welcoming reception hall with a useful cloakroom and stairs rising to the upper floors. It provides a sitting room with a large front aspect bay window with window seating, a feature open fireplace flanked on each side by bespoke shelving, and double doors opening to a rear aspect dining room. It has wooden flooring, a feature fireplace and French doors to the terrace. The dining room opens into a part double-height triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room with tiled and wooden flooring, a range of wall and base units including a bespoke quadrant-shaped island with breakfast bar, complementary work surfaces, tiled splashbacks, modern integrated Bosch appliances, a cast iron spiral staircase rising to a galleried bedroom over, an inter-connecting fitted utility room with driveway access and double-height glazing incorporating French doors to the rear terrace.

On the first floor the property provides a principal bedroom with a large front aspect bay window, extensive fitted storage and a contemporary en suite bathroom with freestanding bath, together with a family shower room and two further double bedrooms, one with fitted storage and the other, also accessible over the second staircase, overlooking the kitchen/breakfast room below and benefitting from a glazed door to a private rear aspect balcony. The property’s three remaining double bedrooms can be found on the part-vaulted second floor; two have useful eaves storage and all three have Velux glazing, providing plenty of natural light.

Outside
Set behind low-level walling and a low maintenance paved front garden, the property is approached over an original tiled footpath leading to the panelled front door and over a paved side driveway providing private parking. The enclosed part-walled garden to the rear, accessible from the kitchen/breakfast and dining rooms, is laid to level lawn bordered by mature planting and features a generous paved rear terrace, part-covered by the balcony above, the whole ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.
