Description
No Onward Chain!
Built in 1902, this attractive detached, double-fronted family residence boasts nearly 2,500 sq.ft of living space filled with character features. The high ceilings, elegant fireplaces, square bay windows add to its classic appeal. The current owners have meticulously enhanced the property, including updates to the kitchen and bathrooms, window replacements, installation of cast iron radiators, and partial rewiring and replumbing.
As you enter through the front door, you're greeted by an inner lobby leading to a spacious reception hall. To your left, you'll find an open-plan, triple-aspect sitting/dining room featuring beautiful wooden floors and a cosy wood-burning fireplace. The right side hosts a generous dual-aspect drawing room, complete with similar hardwood flooring and a classic open fire, making it the perfect space for relaxation or entertaining.
At the rear, the recently renovated kitchen/breakfast room is a highlight of the home. With its triple-aspect design, this bright and airy space includes a wide selection of "in-frame" shaker-style cupboards adorned with quartz work surfaces and Karndean flooring. The kitchen is equipped with integrated Neff appliances, which feature a double oven, induction hob, dishwasher, separate fridge and freezer, coffee machine, and wine fridge, all complemented by a peninsular island that provides additional breakfast seating.
The ground floor is completed by a practical utility room and a modern shower room with a walk-in double shower cubicle. A cellar, accessible from the hall and from outside, offers potential for conversion into a playroom or office.
Ascending the detailed staircase to the first floor, you'll discover the principal bedroom with a dual aspect, featuring an ensuite shower room and built-in storage. Additionally, there are three more double bedrooms, a stylish family bathroom complete with a freestanding bath, a large walk-in shower, and dual sinks. There's also a separate walk-in wardrobe providing extra storage space.
Outside, the property is situated on a spacious, level and private 0.61 acres, boasting ample parking and turning space that leads to a double garage with an electronically operated roller door, alongside an additional large workshop/store. A garden studio offers additional versatility, with further storage options available.
The south-facing rear garden is primarily laid to lawn and features two paved terraces, perfect for outdoor dining or relaxation, along with an adjoining area of level lawn that opens up to the serene countryside beyond.
