PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Beautifully presented and well maintained is this charming 3 double bedroom 1930’s family home boasting plenty of character and charm and a nicely landscaped, large 71’ West facing rear garden.
This lovely mid terraced 30’s house is set back from the street behind a walled front garden with a cast iron fence, a pathway through a lawn leads to the front entrance where there is a porch above the front door.
Through the original 30’s door is a generous entrance hall offering plenty of space for coats, prams, shoes and brollies.
The entrance also houses the staircase and a pretty feature fireplace by the front door.
At the front of the house is a good size reception room with an exposed brick fireplace as a centrepiece and a large square bay window that illuminates the room with natural light and still retains its original stained-glass inserts above each pane.
The whole of the back of the property has been opened to create a lovely Kitchen Dining room. The dining area has another exposed brick fireplace, tiled floors that lead to the Kitchen and there are large patio doors leading to the garden.
The country farmhouse style kitchen is fully fitted with plenty of base and wall mounted cupboards with a solid oak worktop above incorporating a butler sink. Above the sink is a large window that overlooks the garden. There is also space for a 6-ring gas range cooker with extractor above, a washing machine, dishwasher and large fridge freezer. A large storage cupboard/pantry can be found at the back of the kitchen.
The garden is a lush green oasis and a great entertaining space. As you step out of the patio doors there is a natural sandstone patio area, steps lead down to a neatly manicured lawn with mature boarders of shrubs and plants. Beyond this is a pergola covered in a blanket of Wisteria with another patio area underneath which is equipped with an outdoor kitchen area housing a worktop, butler sink and a space for a small fridge, a perfect space for alfresco dining! At the far end of the garden is a well-stocked vegetable garden, perfect for those with green fingers. There is also handy vehicle access at the far end of the garden.
