Offers within £500,000 - £550,000
Set on the iconic Fronks Road, this unique home is full of character and surrounded by beautiful established gardens, this individual detached home is something genuinely different. Behind its distinctive façade lies around 1,750 sq ft of wonderfully versatile accommodation, with impressive reception spaces, a substantial kitchen, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by generous parking and a large detached double garage.

113 Fronks Road is an unique detached home with an abundance of character and a layout that offers considerable flexibility.

From the outset, the house has a distinctive appearance, with its broad frontage, tiled roof and Tudor-influenced timber detailing setting it apart from more conventional homes along the road.

The entrance opens into a characterful hallway where exposed timber, panelled detailing and the staircase immediately establish the personality of the house.

At the heart of the ground floor is an impressive living room measuring approximately 20'5" x 14'0". This is a substantial reception space with timber flooring, exposed beams and extensive timber panelling. A traditional brick fireplace provides a natural focal point, while windows and doors towards the rear, draw the beautiful garden into the room.

An open connection leads into the dining room, creating an excellent arrangement for entertaining while allowing the two spaces to retain their own identities. The dining room continues the timber flooring and character detailing and enjoys an attractive outlook across the rear garden.

The kitchen is another notable feature. At approximately 23'10" in length, it provides considerable workspace and storage, centred around a substantial island. There is ample room for informal dining and French doors opening directly onto the garden, making this a naturally sociable part of the house.

A ground floor bedroom provides useful flexibility and could equally suit guests, multigenerational living or a dedicated home office. The family bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs are two main double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a comfortable double with built-in storage and exposed timber detailing, an en-suite bathroom serves the first floor and is fitted with a large shower enclosure.
