Description

This is a particularly striking Victorian house which has been significantly reconfigured and extended and now provides an exceptional home of modern style and period character. With a flexible and practical layout arranged over three floors, it is ideally configured for family living and entertaining, and is complemented by a landscaped, walled garden.
The rooms are of elegant proportions, with high ceilings and many period features. The double reception room, with two wood burning stoves, leads through to the centrepiece of the house, the stunning kitchen/family room. It has been tastefully designed and planned to make the most of the light and space. With a light lantern, windows to the side and rear, and doors opening to the terrace, it creates a welcoming space which is ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. There is also a useful separate utility and a downstairs cloakroom. On the upper floors are four double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a shower room.

The garden to the front is mainly gravelled and interspersed with plants, trees and shrubs, and gated side access. The appealing walled garden to the rear is particularly attractive. A paved terrace provides the perfect al fresco dining area and leads to the imaginatively designed garden, with planted hedges creating separate areas to enjoy, and carefully planted trees and shrubs to enhance the feeling of privacy.
