A beautifully extended, bay-fronted three bedroom home, boasting Victorian character features, set on a sought-after street in the heart of the town.
The house has been carefully finished to retain its authentic period feel while incorporating the modern conveniences of a new home. Retained period features include ornamental cornicing, decorative fireplaces, ceiling roses, and original wooden flooring in the sitting room.
Upon entering the welcoming entrance hall, you'll find a wonderful sitting room overlooking the front, bathed in natural light from the large bay window. This elegant space features restored original wooden flooring and a handsome decorative feature fireplace.
The additional reception room has been thoughtfully converted to a spacious cloakroom and a separate utility boot room, housing the newly installed heating and hot water systems and copious storage. As well as an additional fridge freezer and a washing machine and tumble dryer.
At the end of the hallway lies the heart of the home: a fabulous open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room. The space is divided with a comprehensive kitchen at one end, complemented by an excellent range of wall and base units with built-in appliances and a peninsula breakfast bar.
Beyond the kitchen, there is room for a dining table and a seating area for family gatherings, with bi-fold doors opening onto the rear patio, perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining. The room features three large sky lights flooding the room with natural light, underfloor heating beneath a herringbone floor that flows seamlessly from the entrance hall.
Completing the ground floor is useful storage under the stairs.
Upstairs, a generous landing leads to two excellent double bedrooms, overlooking the front and rear respectively. The family bathroom is spacious and beautifully appointed, featuring an elegant suite with a large feature bathtub and separate shower.
At the opposite end of the landing from the family bathroom is a convenient work from home office space with a window overlooking the front of the property. Stairs lead to the second floor and the principal bedroom has been thoughtfully converted to include an en suite shower room.
Outside, the west-facing rear garden is enclosed by the original Victorian brick wall and offers a delightful, sunny, private space. There is a large patio to the rear of the house and an artificial lawn with a well-stocked raised bed at the end.

This is a fine example of an updated Victorian home. I love what the current owners have done, bringing it into the 21st century, yet retaining much of the period charm and character you would expect.
