The front of the house has an appealing façade with large bay windows with original stained glass features, a fenced front garden shields the house from the street with a mature laurel hedge for additional privacy and a pathway that leads to a roofed porch. The font door is original and still retains more stain glass windows.
Upon entry there is a wide hallway with newly laid carpets that run up the staircase to the landing and has storage cupboards underneath. A window on the side of the house filters natural light into the staircase, onto the landing and back down into the entrance hall.
A door to the side leads to the office/4th bedroom, this room has been cleverly converted to create a versatile internal living space. The floors are made of solid timbers, vaulted ceilings above give the room plenty of height with a storage cupboard over the window and a Velux skylight bringing in natural light. There is a separate guest toilet, a window at the front overlooking the driveway and patio doors at the far end leading directly out to the garden.
On the other side of the house is the cosy main reception room which has high ceilings, beautiful parquet flooring, a stunning working period fireplace and a large square bay window incorporating original stained glass inserts that fills the room with light.
The reception room at the back of the house has been knocked through to the kitchen to create a lovely entertaining/family room. Once again there are stunning period features such as the parquet flooring, a working fireplace with ornate surround, high ceilings and floor to ceiling French doors that lead out to the rear garden. As this room faces directly South this is a very light and bright space all year round.
The kitchen area is separated by a breakfast bar with wooden worktops offering storage to both areas and offers space for a fridge and freezer under the counter. The rest of the kitchen is set again the far wall where there are plenty of wall and base mounted units housing the oven and hob with extractor above, space for the washing machine and an integrated dishwasher. Solid wooden worktops above sit in front of a light blue metro tiled splash back and the sink sits nicely next to the patio door that leads out to the garden.
The SOUTH FACING garden is the star of the show!
