    About this property

    • This stunning Edwardian semi-detached house boasts a wealth of period charm and modern touches, making it an exceptional family home. It features a distinctive double-fronted square bay and is approached via a block-paved driveway with ample parking for two cars, offering easy access to the rear garden.

      Upon entering through a panelled front door adorned with inlaid stained glass, you are welcomed into a charming vestibule showcasing Victorian-style tiles with a fanlight overhead. A stained-glass inner door leads into a spacious hallway that provides access to all the principal ground floor rooms. To the left, the impressive square bay-fronted drawing room is filled with natural light through large sash windows, enhanced by original stained-glass panels, high ceilings with ornate cornicing and a period-style fireplace with a wooden surround.

      Beyond, there is a second reception room with garden access via French doors, picture rails, cornicing, and a fireplace with a painted wooden surround, making it perfect for relaxed family living or entertaining.

      At the end of the hallway, the standout feature of the home is the expansive kitchen/breakfast room. With Travertine flooring, the bespoke Shaker-style kitchen is fitted with black polished granite work surfaces and high-end appliances, including a Smeg five-ring gas hob oven and dishwasher. A central island offers ample storage, complimented by a larder cupboard and space for a freestanding American-style fridge/freezer. The kitchen also includes a breakfast bar, with room beyond for a seating area and dining table. Bi-folding concertina doors open to the garden and the wrap around sandstone terrace.

      Adjacent to the kitchen, a well-proportioned utility room provides practical storage space with plumbing for a washing machine and room for a tumble dryer. It also features a guest WC and additional storage that also houses the boiler. On the right side of the kitchen, stairs lead down to a cellar, ideal for storage or use as a wine cellar. The hot water cylinder is housed in the basement.
