Oakley House is a striking red brick double fronted family house with original features such as high ceilings, panelled doors, cornicing, floorboards and fireplaces. It has been comprehensively renovated in the last eighteen months as well as decorated internally and externally. Along with a new kitchen and utility room, there are new bathrooms, new boiler/radiators/towel rails, an unvented cylinder, new carpets and new window blinds (both privacy and Roman).
A traditional recessed porch with the original panelled front door opens to the vestibule and onto the hall flanked by two reception rooms. The splendid living room has a bay window and a wood-burning stove inset within exposed brickwork and set on a stone plinth. At the far end of the hall is a timber-framed glass panel and door bringing further light into the modern kitchen/dining/family/room with its wood-burning stove and space to accommodate a family-sized table and sofa. Bifold doors open onto the private west facing landscaped courtyard. The new kitchen includes a Britannia range with six-burner gas hob and two electric ovens, an island unit, quartzite worktops and an adjacent utility room with a single back door to the courtyard garden. The staircases with painted wooden balustrades and handrails rise to both upper floors. The hall and first floor landing are lit by a tall window and a skylight throws natural light onto the second floor landing. There are three bathrooms and six double bedrooms; all bathrooms benefit from high specification fixtures and fittings. The principal bedroom has a double sash window, striking marble fireplace and a built-in cupboard with hanging space and shelving. The five further bedrooms all have good ceiling heights and the four second floor bedrooms all have panelled walls with recessed shelving.
Outside - To the front is an appealing garden area with a stone terrace and planted borders which benefits from morning sunshine and is screened by mature beech hedging. At the rear, connected to the dining room via bifold doors, is a private, paved courtyard with raised flower beds which enjoys a west facing position and is not overlooked. At the far end is a small garden store. Permit parking is available (two for the house) with further annual permits available at the nearby West Cliff car park. As well as access from Well Close Terrace the property also has access onto Back St Hilda’s Terrace via a gate from the rear courtyard garden.
