Property description


The smart painted brick, arched front door surround, sash windows, and shutters combine to create a pleasing façade to this property, and a matching painted gate provides access to the side alley and rear garden via the conservatory. With 990 square feet of space set over two floors the property is a good size. Two-thirds of this space (671 sq ft) is on the ground floor which has three living rooms and a bathroom, whilst the first floor is home to two double bedrooms.

The main living room lies to the left of the central hallway, with the bathroom straight ahead and the kitchen/diner and conservatory to the right. Over 20ft-long living room is spacious and light with windows at each end and two skylights. An original cast iron (working) fireplace provides an attractive and practical focal point, and wide plank wood laminate flooring runs throughout. Simple white décor emphasises the excellent natural light and elegant period proportions, and there’s ample space for sofas and more.

The kitchen/diner across the hall continues in the same vein with stylish modern Shaker-style fitted cabinets, a tiled splashback and solid wood worktops in the well-equipped kitchen area, and a tiled fireplace with a classic surround and plenty of space for a large table in the dining area. A window above the sink has views through the conservatory to the garden and a glazed door provides access. The conservatory, which has exposed brick walls and a lantern roof, is a multi-purpose area currently used as a utility room and workspace. With a door to the side alley and double doors to the garden it’s also a good entertaining space.

The bathroom is fully tiled and fitted out to a high standard, with a bath, corner shower, washbasin, and WC. A window to the garden and a skylight provide excellent natural light and ventilation.

Painted wood stairs with a striped runner lead up to the central landing and two double bedrooms. These rooms are a similar size both fitted wardrobes. The main bedroom also has an original cast iron fireplace and is dual aspect with window to the front and rear, whilst the second bedroom has a garden view. Engineered wood flooring runs throughout the first floor.

The south-west facing garden is largely paved with some planted beds, making it ideal for year-round use. Thanks to low surrounding walls it has an open aspect. It also has a handy outdoor store.
