Description

This elegant terraced house, set over two floors, offers well-balanced accommodation with a wealth of period charm.

A welcoming vestibule leads into a bright and spacious entrance hall, where high ceilings and intricate cornicing immediately set the tone for the property's character. The sitting room to the front enjoys an abundance of natural light through its large sash windows, complemented by a striking feature fireplace and traditional detailing.

To the rear, the dining room provides an excellent space for entertaining, with direct access to the kitchen, which offers potential for reconfiguration to create a more open-plan layout, subject to the necessary consents.

Also on this level is a versatile fifth bedroom, which could serve as a family room or home office, offering flexibility to suit modern living.

A full bathroom and a generous under-stair storage cupboard complete the ground floor.

The staircase, illuminated by a beautiful cupola, leads to the first floor landing, where four well-proportioned double bedrooms provide excellent accommodation. The principal bedroom, positioned at the front of the house, enjoys an expansive layout, while an additional bedroom on this side also benefits from a bright outlook.

To the rear, two further double bedrooms overlook the garden. A well-placed shower room serves this level, offering scope for further enhancement.

Externally, the property benefits from a charming front garden, set behind wrought iron railings, adding to its classic appeal. To the rear, a west-facing garden provides an ideal outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining, while a private parking space, accessed via a rear lane, is a particularly valuable asset in this central location.

The property has been a much-loved family home and now presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to modernise and tailor it to their own tastes.
