Property description


The house is ideally suited to modern lifestyles with a combination of large open plan spaces and more conventional rooms. The 718 sq ft ground floor has two large living spaces and an internal light well/courtyard; the 564 sq ft first floor comprises two double bedrooms and a spacious bathroom, whilst the top floor has a 235 sq ft double bedroom suite.

The property has an attractive frontage, with a painted white façade, glazed front door, and a walled and gated front garden. The front door opens into a long hallway with the living room to the left and the kitchen/diner straight ahead. The living room, originally two rooms, is almost 28ft long with a south-facing bay window to the front and modern French doors to the light well. The décor is simple but striking, featuring an antique mirror tiled wall, bespoke white plantation shutters and a welcoming engineered wood floor. An original cast iron fireplace provides a focal point in the rear section of the room.

The open plan kitchen/diner at the rear is a lovely light-filled space. The fitted kitchen sits within the original footprint, whilst the dining area in the glazed side return extension (seamlessly connected by a wide exposed brick arch) has views into the light well and the rear garden. The kitchen is well-equipped with stylish dark grey wall and floor cabinets, a granite worktop, and a black glass splashback. A single door leads to a utility room, WC, and the rear garden.

Carpeted stairs lead up to the first floor where there are two large double bedrooms and a very spacious bathroom. The main front bedroom is a serene space with shuttered sash windows showcased by an exposed bring wall, and a wall of mirrored fitted wardrobes. The rear bedroom has a large built-in full height cupboard, and garden views. The luxurious bathroom has the feel of a spa retreat with marbled large format wall and floor tiles, and contemporary sanitaryware including a bath with a thermostatic shower, a walk-in wet room-style shower, a washbasin/vanity unit, a bidet, and a WC. There is a large, mirrored recess (with wall-mounted taps) above the washbasin, and a window provides natural light and ventilation.

The top (loft) floor suite comprises a double bedroom with bespoke built-in storage and a sink and shower cubicle. This occupies the original loft space and a large rear dormer with a wide window that has leafy views.

The 44ft rear garden is divided into areas of sun and shade, terrace and lawn. A generously sized Yorkstone-paved terrace adjacent to the rear of house provides ample room for outdoor furniture and is pleasantly shaded whilst the central lawn and garden studio at the end are more sunny spaces. Mature planting including several attractive specimen trees create a lovely leafy outlook and enhance privacy. The wooden garden studio at the end of the garden has a covered deck, double doors and a large window so is suited to a variety of uses.
