PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
OPEN DAY SATURDAY 20th JULY. Absolutely spectacular red brick semi-detached, 4-bedroom Victorian family home with off street parking and a 78 ft SOUTH facing landscaped rear garden, located on a pretty tree-lined residential street in the heart of Honor Oak Park. What else could you ask for in a house?
The imposing red brick front exterior is impressive, classic Victorian large bay sash windows that dominate the façade with detailed masonry surrounding and an arched porch above the stunning stained-glass front door.
This special house has been lovingly cared for by its current owners and is offered to the market in excellent condition. The house retains many of its period features such as high ceilings, cornicing, original wooden floorboards and period fireplaces.
Upon entry there is a lovely large hallway housing the staircase and incorporates downstairs WC.
The front reception room has plenty of character and charm, with plenty of period detailing. The huge double-glazed bay sash windows illuminate the room with natural light. The original wood flooring has been stripped and varnished to maintain the character of the room and a working Victorian fireplace acts as a centrepiece.
The rear of the property is even more inspiring, the current owners have opened this area to create a huge kitchen, dining family room that spans the width of the property and is most certainly the beating heart of the house. This room also has high ceilings and the floor is solid oak with underfloor heating. At the back of the property two massive, floor to ceiling, double bi-fold doors open up to the South facing patio and rear garden.
The kitchen is fully equipped with plenty of wall and base mounted units, bamboo worktops above and a large double-glazed window to the side return for additional natural light and ventilation.
To the side there is also another double-glazed patio door that leads to the side return.
Through the huge bi-fold doors is the beautifully landscaped rear garden, a warm sandstone patio has steps leading down to another patio area before seamlessly meeting a neatly manicured lawn. Surrounding the garden is an array of mature plants, trees and shrubs. At the far end of the garden is a raised deck where there is a mains powered 11’ x 6’ shed.
Upstairs are 3 large double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom.
The master is at the front of the house with original wooden flooring, high ceilings, a stunning feature fireplace and a large double-glazed sash bay window.
Adjacent is a large double bedroom with a window to the side of the house, the other large double is at the back of the house with stunning views over the rear garden and the single bedroom at the front is located next the master bedroom making it a perfect study or nursery.
The family bathroom is a really good size incorporating a full-size bathtub, a wash hand basin, separate shower enclosure and also houses the boiler (Worcester Bosh installed 2015).
This is a perfect home for entertaining and family living.
