    About this property

    • A handsome Victorian town house having pleasing elevations of red brick with yellow brick detailing, under a slate roof.

      The house is unusually spacious and must be viewed internally to be fully appreciated. There are a wealth of character features including several original fireplaces, sash windows, floorboards and period style radiators. The house has been modernised and extended to provide an additional reception room with adjacent cloakroom/shower room, which could be used as a ground floor bedroom and bathroom if needed.

      Of particular note is the delightful secluded rear garden with a garden studio, ideal for use as a home office or playroom.

      A panelled front door with glazed fanlight over, opens into the sitting room, with fireplace and log burner flanked by shelved recesses.

      The open plan kitchen has been attractively fitted with an extensive range of units in white and antique copper with granite surfaces. There is a matching copper effect oven and halogen hob, and a central island with sink and dishwasher. There is a small utility area with plumbing for a washing machine, also housing the gas fired central heating boiler.

      A rear hall gives access to the garden, a fully tiled wet room shower/ cloakroom, and a further reception room currently used as a dining room, but which could also be a second sitting room or ground floor bedroom if needed. This has Crittall style double glazed French doors to the garden and a delightful outlook.

      On the first floor are two good size double bedrooms both with pretty cast iron fireplaces, and one having a fitted wardrobe. The family bathroom has a panelled bath, hand painted basin with storage under, and WC.

      Stairs continue up to the generous third bedroom, with open shelves and hanging space, and a dormer window with open views.

      The house has a delightful and attractively laid out partly walled rear garden, which offers a good degree of seclusion. There is a paved terrace outside the French doors, perfect for summer entertaining, with steps leading up to a lawn. Well stocked borders including an attractive variety of plants including lavender, box and palms.

      At the rear is a delightful garden studio, ideal for use as a home office, having light and power. There is also an integral garden shed.
