Description

This semi-detached home was built in 1895 and has been extensively modernised while retaining the classic lines and generous proportions of the Victorian era. The elegant décor beautifully complements the character features of the home, with a neutral colour palette and high ceilings highlighting the abundance of space. In recent years, the vendors have a made a number of significant updates including new flooring, a stunning new bespoke kitchen, full cosmetic redecoration, door handles replaced with stunning brass door knobs, and converting an office space to create an en suite shower room.

The heart of the home is the handmade kitchen, enhanced by an AGA and an AGA module, a Liebherr fridge and freezer, and a wine fridge that holds 80 bottles with dual temperature zones. This space leads to the bar area, which features a separate drinks fridge and overlooks the terraced garden, perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining.

The house is packed with premium features, including underfloor heating, fitted wardrobes and bookshelves and a security alarm system, and it is ready for immediate occupation – all that is needed is personalisation by the new owner.

The accommodation is fantastically light and spacious, arranged over three floors with an easy, flowing and well thought-out layout. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall with storage and a cloakroom with WC, a sitting room and separate study/dining room – both fitted with wood-burning stoves – and a gorgeous, light-filled kitchen to the rear. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en suite in addition to the family bath and shower room. On the second floor, a further two bedrooms, one with an en-suite. Two of the three bathrooms have been newly renovated within the last 18 months, and there is ample storage space in both the loft area and the eaves.
