Property description


With a partly block-paved drive that provides off-street parking, this appealing semi-detached house also has

a 75 ft west-facing rear garden with direct access via a gated side alley. The sheltered porch opens into a hallway with striking monochrome décor, a view through to the rear garden, and doors to a front living room, utility room, rear kitchen/diner, and an understairs WC.

The front living room has a traditional feel with an original cast-iron fireplace forming the focal point. This has an attractive chequered tile surround and a wood mantelpiece and is flanked by a built-in cupboard and shelves. A wide east-facing curved bay window provides excellent natural light, and the room is carpeted for comfort. The kitchen/diner to the rear is a very spacious room with contemporary styling and décor. It comprises a well-equipped fitted kitchen wrapped around two walls within the original footprint of the property and a large dining/living space that occupies a single storey rear extension. With two large skylights, a charming tall side window, and a wide opening with bifold doors, this room has abundant light. It easily accommodates a large dining table and a lounge area and, with the bifold doors open, combines with the external paved terrace to create a large indoor/outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining. The adjacent utility room has a sink, washing machine, and a wall of tall fitted cupboards. Both rooms have pale engineered wood flooring. Also, structual steel beams have already been installed within the loft space for a loft conversion, eliminating the need for disruptive structual work, should a loft conversion be undertaken in the future.

The first floor retains its original layout, with double bedrooms to the front and rear, a third single bedroom directly above the hallway, and a family bathroom. There’s a hatch to the loft which has a small side window and is used for storage but has the potential to be converted to living space. The stairs have a stylish runner, and the landing and all three bedrooms are carpeted. A window on the landing provides good natural light. The main front bedroom measures a generous 14’8” by 11’6” and has a wide curved bay window and plenty of space for a kingsize bed and other bedroom furniture. The second double bedroom is also a good size and has great garden views. The third (single) bedroom is currently used as a workspace. The family bathroom has calming white and pale grey décor, with patterned floor tiles and glossy metro-tiled walls. The fitted bath has a thermostatic shower and a glass screen, the contemporary washbasin sits on a handy vanity unit, and there’s a freestanding WC. An obscured glass window provides good natural light and ventilation.

In addition to the mainly paved front garden and gated side alley, the property has a lovely 75ft west-facing rear garden. This has been landscaped and consists of a paved terrace adjacent to the house with a couple of steps up to a lawn bordered by raised beds and smart fencing, with a wooden shed at the end.
