The property occupies the entire first floor of an attractive blonde sandstone villa dating back to circa 1890.

Showcasing a wealth of original features alongside modern conveniences, this home is certain to impress upon inspection. Notable period features include original flooring in most rooms, soaring ceiling heights, and a striking five-section oriel bay window in the lounge. Beautiful, detailed cornice, ceiling roses, and original woodwork, including doors, further enhance the property’s timeless appeal. In recent years, the current owners have carried out numerous significant improvements. These include professionally refurbished or replaced windows in many rooms, some of which were handmade, the installation of a bespoke, fully refitted kitchen with an array of integrated appliances, and the refurbishment of the main house bathroom and en-suite shower room to an exceptional modern standard. The property also benefits from a gas-fired central heating system powered by a replacement A-rated Intergas combination boiler. Externally, a substantial section of the roof has been re-tiled in recent years, ensuring peace of mind for future owners. Entry is via a shared side porch with a private main door leading to a staircase that rises to the expansive upper reception hallway. From here, access is provided to all rooms, along with a useful storage cupboard. The lounge is a magnificent space, front-facing with a substantial oriel bay window and an original marble fireplace serving as a stunning focal point. The kitchen is equally impressive, featuring an extensive range of base and wall-mounted units with integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, washing machine, electric oven, and induction hob. There is ample space for a freestanding fridge freezer, as well as a dining table and chairs, making this a perfect hub for family life or entertaining. All three bedrooms are generously proportioned. Bedroom two benefits from a stylish en-suite bathroom, while bedroom three includes tailor-made wardrobes offering excellent storage.
