This charming detached Victorian house certainly stands out from its neighbours with its attractive grey painted exterior. While the paintwork maybe contemporary it is complemented by the rest of the external period features such as bay windows, decorative plasterwork, roof finials and bargeboards that give the house a delightful character and excellent kerb appeal. It is set back from the road with a large area of hard standing providing plenty of off road parking.
The property has been beautifully and sensitively updated for modern day living but it still retains some wonderful period features. These include high coved ceilings, lighting roses, picture rails, wood flooring and fireplaces as well as a stunning inner front door with stained glass insets surrounded by stained glass windows. The hall opens into the charming lounge with its herringbone parquet flooring, bay window and impressive cast iron fireplace with a stone mantlepiece that makes such a lovely focal point.
A wide archway between the large snug and the kitchen/dining room provide a modern open plan feel. The cosy snug includes wood flooring that flows through to the kitchen/dining room and a modern fireplace with a log burner, while the light and bright kitchen/dining room has a red Aga as well as another oven and hob and delightful flat fronted cream-coloured units with curved endings housing additional appliances. There is also an adjacent fitted utility room with laundry facilities and a vast pantry with built in shelving that could always become another room.
Off the first-floor galleried landing, with its fascinating and unusual balustrade, are four bedrooms and the beautifully tiled and contemporary family bathroom. There is a single bedroom that would make an ideal nursery or study and three doubles including one with a bay window and an impressive fireplace as well as the light and bright main bedroom with white painted floorboards, pleasant views and an en suite bathroom.
A stunning feature of this delightful property is the professionally landscaped rear garden. There is a grey sandstone terrace that spans the width of the property and bordered by shrub. It provides tantalising views of the rest of the garden that includes an array of mature trees and sub-tropical plantings with steps down to a winding path flanked by a curved lawn that leads to a large pergola covered seating area. There is a further seating area and a patio, as well as a garden shed, greenhouse and large vegetable plot – perfect for any green fingered gardeners out there.
