The Property
The property itself is a fine example of an extended, period family home, retaining an abundance of character while offering generous and versatile accommodation extending to approximately 1,415 sq. Ft. A traditional entrance hall immediately sets the tone, with exposed timber floorboards, high ceilings, decorative detailing and staircase rising to the first floor. To the front is an impressive bay-fronted living room, featuring a fireplace and bespoke fitted cabinetry, while a further reception/dining room provides another characterful living space with fireplace, fitted storage and direct access into the extended rear accommodation.

The rear of the house has been thoughtfully extended to create an excellent open-plan kitchen and dining space, well suited to modern family life and entertaining. The dining area benefits from roof lights and French doors opening directly onto the garden, while the adjoining kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry, tiled splashbacks, Belfast-style sink and space for a substantial range cooker. A useful ground-floor cloakroom completes the ground-floor accommodation.

The first floor continues to impress, providing three genuine double bedrooms. The principal bedroom occupies the front of the house and enjoys the impressive box bay window, fitted wardrobes and an attractive period fireplace. Two further well-proportioned double bedrooms offer excellent flexibility for family living, guests or home working. The first floor is further served by a family bathroom, shower room. And a separate W.C.

Outside, the property enjoys an established and mature rear garden, offering a good degree of privacy with an abundance of planting, shrubs and established borders. A central seating terrace provides an ideal space for outside dining and entertaining. To the front, the property’s striking traditional red-brick façade, twin box bays and decorative gables create excellent kerb appeal, while the driveway provides valuable off-road parking alongside a covered timber structure.
