This lovingly refurbished period home has been stylishly finished with open plan living, kitchen diner, two double bedrooms and a converted loft room with heating, electrics & newly installed Velux window.

Conveniently accessed close to the park, bowling green, cricket club and Barlow Institute discover a handsome period home, reloved, renovated and renewed, on the cusp of the countryside in the thriving village of Edgworth.

Perfectly poised on a spacious corner plot, this Victorian gem is privately positioned behind wrought iron fencing and traditional stone walls, with neatly cropped lawns and lovingly tended rose beds creating a formal feel upon approach.

With parking in the garage and to the rear, a traditional canopy entrance in monochrome provides shelter upon arrival home, with No. 313 proudly etched into the transom light above the front door, which opens to provide access to the entrance hall. A door also opens from the garage to the portico, enabling easy access from both front and rear.

Stepping inside, light shines in through the colourful stained glass of the front door, whilst traditional panelling runs along the lower walls. Underfoot, herringbone flooring captures the heritage feel of the home perfectly, with tall ceiling heights found throughout.

Bespoke oak doors recreate the Victorian vibe throughout, with the first, immediately on the left, opening into a light-filled lounge. Herringbone flooring flows in from the hallway, with original picture rail and coving retained high above. Warmth emanates from the log-burning stove in the elegant surround, whilst bespoke cabinetry provides plenty of storage. To the front, the part plantation-shuttered bay window frames leafy views out over the garden and bowling green over the road.

Next door, oak flooring extends underfoot in the spacious, open plan kitchen-dining room, where a host of appliances including two Neff Hide 'n' Slide ovens, a Neff five burner gas hob, an AEG dishwasher, washing machine and fridge-freezer are available. The sociable central island, topped in granite with Belfast sink and power points, is a natural hub for conversation, ideal for wining and dining whilst cooking up a feast for family and friends. Inset spotlighting is balanced by elegant glass pendant lights.

Borrowing from the monochrome Victorian style, an abundance of storage in contrasting shades of dark charcoal and light ash, available both in the spacious central island and cabinetry to the sides, lends the kitchen-diner a clutter free, clean line feel.

Opening up from the kitchen seamlessly, there is ample space for a dining table in front of the aluminium bifolding doors, which frame captivating views out over the garden, inviting you to enjoy alfresco dining on the courtyard terrace in the summer months.

There is also a handy cloakroom with wash basin and WC off the kitchen-diner.

Freshly carpeted, ascend the stairs to the first-floor landing, where directly ahead, refreshment awaits in the spacious, reconfigured family bathroom. Teal tones harmonise with the tiling to the part panelled walls, in this stylish bathroom; beautifully furnished in a sophisticated roll top bath, harmonising perfectly with the Victorian heritage of the home, whilst a walk-in shower lends a modern touch, ideal for an invigorating spritz. Newly tiled underfoot in wood-plank effect, with WC and wash basin alongside a traditional style heated towel radiator.

Off the landing, brightly lit by the large crystal chandelier above, discover two bountiful bedrooms.

Overlooking the rear, carpeted in cream, bedroom two's freshly plastered walls are dressed in soothing, neutral shades. A large double bedroom, with newly fitted window and rewired to include a new television point, this bedroom is ideal for guests or children.

Peacefully nestled to the front of the home, with bespoke, fitted wardrobes set within the alcoves to either side of the chimney breast, which retains its handsome original cast iron fireplace, the master bedroom is a vision of serenity. Oatmeal carpet is comforting underfoot, whilst part shuttered sash windows to the front frame views out over the playing field, bowling green and Barlow Institute across the road. With ample space for a king-size bed, wake up to verdant views in this soothing, restful bedroom.

From the landing, there is also access up to a loft room, a useful, additional space, newly fitted with heating, electrics and a Velux window, conversion to a bedroom would be a breeze (subject to the necessary building regulations). This is also handy for storage.

Outside, with lawn and rose borders to the front, to the rear, relax and unwind on the patio terrace, where low walls retain the sun's warmth. Ideal for entertaining, this low maintenance oasis is the largest, and sunniest spot on the terrace.

Nestled on the cusp of nature, enjoy walks on the doorstep, connecting you with wildlife and the outdoors. Step out of the door and stroll to the beautiful Wayoh and Entwistle Reservoirs, a circular 4.4 mile loop trail through the woods and along the water's edge. Call in at the Strawberry Duck for coffee and cake to refuel before heading home.
