AP Estate Agents are proud to present this charming and immaculately presented Victorian property, which has been lovingly and carefully modernised and maintained by its current owner and boasts a number of period features. Located in a no through road within the desirable Motcombe village in Old town, there is a wonderful view of St Mary's church from its back garden and only a short walk to The Lamb Inn and Waitrose. This property also falls within catchment for the highly respected Gildredge house school.

INSIDE THE PROPERTY

The minute you walk through the front door into the HALLWAY it is clear to see how tastefully presented this home is, the front door itself has period glazing and as you look up you will notice the ornate architrave, coving and picture rails which give a clue to its age. The LOUNGE is a good size with light and bright bay window having the benefit of modern double glazed sash windows. The stripped wood floors add to its charm along with old school style radiators, whilst at the heart of the room is an original cast iron fireplace with a stone hearth. All you walk down the hallway past the stairs, the next room along is the DINING ROOM, there is the flexibility for this room to be used for dining or another bedroom if required. This room once again has stripped floors and an original fireplace set within the chimney, with recently fitted double glazed doors out to the garden. Opposite this room a CLOAKROOM has been created beneath the stairs with a WC and wash basin. A couple of steps down leads you into the KITCHEN which definitely holds the "Wow factor", finished in a stunning grey with contrasting high quality quartz worktops, light wood effect laminate flooring and lovely featured exposed brickwork. There is ample storage to be found within wall and base units as well as a tall pull out larder unit, and integrated appliances to include dishwasher and tall fridge freezer. Other appliances include an eye level oven and grill, 4 ring gas hob with extractor above. The flow of the kitchen works really well with space for a table and a peninsula of work top for preparation, double doors then lead outside to the garden.

UPSTAIRS

Stairs lead from the hallway to the first floor and a long galleried landing with wooden balustrade. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is a wonderful size with double aspect windows over looking the front of the property, there are a number of alcoves within the room that can be used for furniture and an original feature fireplace as a focal point of the room. BEDROOM 2 is a good size with an original cast iron fireplace and space either side of the chimney for bedroom furniture, alternatively in some properties these spaces can have built in wardrobes or shelving. The BATHROOM has been finished to an excellent standard with a fully tiled and large enclosed shower cubicle set within the wall, a stand alone deep bath with shower hose attachment, WC, wash basin with shelves below and more of the wonderful exposed brickwork featured. Due to its size the bathroom could have been a bedroom historically and still has the cast iron fireplace in situ, either side cupboards have been built for storage, one of which contains the Worcester Bosch boiler.

SECOND FLOOR

Stairs lead up from the landing to the second floor, where you find a large attic room, with wooden clad on the walls and ceiling with the chimney left as exposed brickwork. There are a couple of Velux windows which provide plenty of light and there is still an abundance of storage within the eves. This room is perfect for a hobbyist or someone that works from home, and with the right permissions it could become a third bedroom. Its worth including that there is a lovely rooftop view from this vista with St Mary's church steeple prominently featuring in your line of sight. 

OUTSIDE

Aesthetically the property has tremendous curb appeal, set back slightly from the pavement with a low level wall creating a flower bed beneath the bay window containing a flowering Hydrangea and some other mature shrubs. There is a canopy which runs across the entire width of the property over the bay and front door which is supported by an ornate wooden structure, this not only provide shelter during the rain but is a particular feature of the property.

The REAR COURTYARD GARDEN is fully enclosed and surrounded by a flint wall with fencing above to create extra privacy. This outside area is fully brick paved, with a raised contained flower bed to one side and can be accessed from the kitchen and dining room. This is a relaxing haven and easily maintained with a leafy view of neighboring trees and of course St Mary's Church standing proud in the distance.
