PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Located on this quiet residential tree lined street in Honor Oak Park is this beautifully presented 4 double bedroom Victorian terraced town house. The house is set over three floors offering an abundance of living space and plenty of natural light.

The house offers great curb appeal with plenty of character and charm, old stock London bricks frame the uniformed sash windows and there is a small front garden that shields the house from the street.

The ground floor entrance leads to a long hallway which gives access to the stairwell with storage underneath, the front reception room, downstairs WC and an ingenious utility cupboard housing the washing machine and drier allowing there to be more storage space in the kitchen.

The double length reception room has dual aspect windows front to back. The large front sash window is South facing and illuminates the room with natural light. This room also benefits from high ceilings with coving and two beautiful working cast iron fire places.

The kitchen breakfast room to the rear has been beautifully finished to a high specification with white quartz worktops and white gloss base units down one side, integrating the induction hob with extractor hood and a double sink with a window above. The other side of the kitchen has been dedicated to storage with integrated fridge freezer, two ovens, a microwave and grill. The far end of the kitchen is a dining area which leads nicely to the garden through bi-fold doors.

The 40ft garden has been neatly manicured with a stone patio area off the kitchen and a lawn bordered by mature plants and bamboo along one side. The garden is also framed by an ancient brick wall that offers character and a solid boundary between neighbors.

Upstairs on the first floor are two very large double bedrooms, the bedroom at the front of the house is huge as it spans the whole width of the property, it offers high ceilings, carpets and two large sash windows that flood the room with natural light. The adjacent bedroom is another good size double with similar proportions and a single sash window facing the rear of the house.

Off the half landing is a very spacious, luxurious family bathroom that is well positioned to service all the upstairs bedrooms. It has been stylishly decorated, fully tiled in fashionable grey hues. There is an elegant freestanding bath, a walk-in shower with rainfall shower head and a modern style his and her sinks with mirror above.

The second floor has two further bedrooms mirroring the bedrooms below. A square double bedroom at the rear offering far reaching views over the rear gardens and at the front of the house is a large master bedroom with two sash windows and a plumbed in roll top bath tub in the far corner of the room. All the bedrooms are fully carpeted.
