PROPERTY DESCRIPTION A wonderful, Edwardian family home featuring immense character and individuality, plentiful space over 4 storeys and a hugely sought-after Poet's Corner location.

On the ground floor, the vestibule and hallway open to a very generous and attractive sitting room, with double-glazed sash windows and a period fireplace and ceiling rose. The dining room and kitchen are open plan, creating a wonderful space for family mealtimes.

Alongside is snug bedroom 5, ideal as a home-office. Adjacent, bedroom 2 is a double room with a pretty outlook to the city, whilst bedroom 4 is a good-sized single to the rear, with more expansive views towards the city. The bathroom is contemporary and stylish with a white suite.

Attic Level: Here, this spacious eaved bedroom provides lots of natural light and a charming, loft feel with lovely outlooks, plentiful eaves cupboards and a large rear eaves store.

Lower Ground Floor: From the kitchen, an internal staircase leads down to a generous lower ground level. We begin with 2 excellent store areas, one with sturdy book shelving. The useful shower room is attractively appointed with a large shower cubicle, basin and WC.


Alongside, the laundry room houses the Worcester GCH boiler, plumbing for a washing machine, a sink unit and door. The inner hall then leads to a lengthy room which is tapered in shape and with tiled flooring leading to French doors to the garden. The basement area as a whole provides excellent extra space.
