Description

This attractive semi-detached Victorian home retains many original period features while having been sympathetically extended and meticulously refurbished to create spacious, flexible accommodation across three floors. Beautifully presented with tasteful décor throughout, highlights include a stunning breakfast kitchen with vaulted ceiling, luxurious bathroom suites and retained character details such as original Minton tiled flooring and stained glass.

Set on an elevated plot, the property offers ample off-street parking via a tarmacadam driveway accessed from York Avenue, plus a beautifully landscaped rear garden.

Accommodation

Solid wood double doors lead to an enclosed Porch with original Minton tiled floor. The impressive Hall features further Minton tiling, wall panelling, ceiling cornice, picture rails and understairs storage.
The elegant Sitting Room enjoys wooden flooring, a large front bay window with original stained-glass panels and full-height shutters, two cast iron radiators, plus a feature fireplace with real-flame gas fire.
A welcoming Family Room offers a refurbished slate fireplace with open grate, two cast iron radiators, wooden flooring and dual-aspect windows with shutters.
The separate Dining Room has tiled flooring, an inset brick fireplace with open fire, a feature radiator and access to the outstanding Breakfast Kitchen – a superb family hub with underfloor heating, vaulted ceiling, herringbone tiled floor, freestanding units (included in the sale), butcher’s block and zinc-topped islands, Lacanche range cooker, integrated dishwasher, LG double fridge-freezer and French doors opening to the garden. A practical Utility Area provides space for laundry appliances.

A galleried landing with loft access (boarded with ladder) serves three generous double bedrooms, all with engineered wood flooring, cast-iron radiators and period details such as picture rails, cornice and full-height shutters. Bedroom Five is currently styled as a dressing room but lends itself perfectly as a home office, nursery or hobby room. The luxurious main bathroom features a freestanding copper bath, tiled double shower with rainfall head, reclaimed Victorian-style basin and high-level WC. A separate guest cloakroom adds convenience.
