The Property: Gordon House was purchased by the current vendors in 2016 and since that time has been the subject of a full restoration project including a large rear extension forming a delightful open plan kitchen/dining/living space finished in 2022. A great deal of attention to detail has taken place with the renovations of the property which now offers a wonderful mix of old original features alongside new modern styling. Renovations and work include, replastering of the ceilings and walls, new electrics, smoke alarms, new plumbing, new gas central heating boiler, new log burner, repointing of brickwork, new flooring and carpeting, restoration of parquet flooring, new tarmac drive, new car port, total hard and soft landscaping to the enclosed rear garden with the addition of a new garden/storage room. The whole has been a labour of love and care with an eye to small detail, including clever hidden storage and bespoke woodwork and great use of hidden lighting both inside and outside of the property to compliment the overall design. This three-storey building has flexible accommodation and benefits from full double glazing throughout. This delightful Edwardian property truly needs to be viewed internally to be fully appreciated. Attractive original decorative floor tiling greets you in front of the bespoke solid oak front door, which opens up to the entrance hall with the same original geometric floor tiling flowing through. A door to the left leads into the living room with lovely, restored parquet flooring, log burner with a window to the front with shutters. The stairs rise from the entrance hall to first floor with bespoke wooden storage and doors to understairs storage. An open arch leads from the hall to the large open plan kitchen/dining/living space. This room gives a total wow factor to the property creating a perfect family/entertaining space with large sliding patio doors at one end looking out to and opening to the attractive landscaped rear garden. The kitchen area has a comprehensive range of dark charcoal grey base units with contrasting wood effect wall units, all with soft closing doors and drawers. There are composite worktops with charcoal grey sink with extendable hose tap, geometric attractive tiling above and inset to an alcove with a large stainless steel ‘Rangemaster Professional’ electric range oven with induction hob and extractor fan above. There is also space for a dishwasher and space for an American style fridge/freezer. An archway leads through to the dining area with built-in storage units and decorative cushioned bench style seating to one side with hidden storage beneath and a long range of floor to ceiling storage units. There are also further base and wall units matching the kitchen along the other side with space for table and chairs. A large Velux roof light gives additional light to the room with remote control closing and automatic closing feature for wet weather. The room dog legs off providing a snug/sitting area with high level box storage with window looking over the garden. A door opens to the shower room with WC, pedestal wash basin, walk in shower with glazed shower screens and fully tiled surround alongside two combined towel rails/radiators. A doorway to the side of the staircase opens to a utility with base units, with laminate worktops above, sink and space and plumbing for washing machine as well as the wall mounted gas central heating boiler.

A driveway to the side of the property leads up to a turning area and a sizeable carport for Gordon House to one side and a large sliding gate opens up to the rear garden. The driveway and turning space also has rights of access with ‘The Squeeze’ a small bungalow beyond Gordon House. The rear garden has been completely landscaped on a diagonal to make the best use of the space with an overhang from the building providing partial covering to a gravelled seating area immediately adjacent to the kitchen with wooden bench seating.
