Welcome Home...

Set along a quietly residential side street framed by handsome period homes, this beautiful Victorian semi-detached house speaks softly of its architectural heritage, with fine brickwork and charming symmetry typical of the late 19th century. The elevation is particularly appealing, with tall sash windows, red-brick accents and a traditional arched entranceway gently softened by roses.

The heart of the home is, without doubt, through sitting/dining room. The space flows effortlessly from front to rear, with natural light cascading in through the generously proportioned bay window, illuminating the quiet restraint of the neutral palette. Period detailing is subtly retained with timber panelled door, exposed & restored floorboards and delicate picture rails which pay homage to the home s Victorian heritage.

Bathed in soft morning light, the sitting room is anchored by an elegant cast-iron fireplace. Coupled with the bay window, this is a classic Victorian space.

Flowing through from the dining room, you enter the well-considered galley kitchen. The terracotta-toned quarry tile flooring is both durable and timeless, while solid wood worktops and traditional shaker-style cabinetry bring a warm, natural tone to the room. Soft green glazed tiles provide a gentle splash of colour and complement the garden views framed by the sash window above the sink and there are clear sightlines through to the dining area, creating a natural flow through the ground floor.

Beyond the kitchen is the utility area which offers practicality and access to the ground floor cloakroom. French doors lead out to the garden.

On the first floor the retained period character remains and you'll find two of the three double bedrooms and the fabulous family bathroom. There is a bedroom overlooking both the front and the rear - each served by the generously proportioned bathroom which pairs traditional touches with a soft, contemporary sensibility. A clawfoot roll-top bath is a feature in itself and the colour gently contrasts the pale timber floorboards underfoot. The simple white tiling keep the space feeling clean and uncluttered, while the original sash window frames leafy garden views and invites in plenty of natural light. For those busy mornings, there is also a walk in shower.

Heading to the second floor you'll find the main bedroom which offers a peaceful retreat. A large roof window draws in light and frames rooftop views, while also providing a cleverly designed nook for reading or working a particularly appealing feature in a space that balances rest with quiet productivity. The angled ceiling adds character without compromising on head height and there is access to handy eaves storage.

The home has gas fired central heating and access to an Ultrafast fibre broadband connection.

Step Outside...

The garden unfolds to the south, making full use of its orientation with light filtering in throughout the day. A generous decked terrace, set just beyond the rear elevation, provides a natural spot for outdoor seating and al-fresco dining. Beyond, a well-kept lawn is bordered by a curved path and mature planting, including established hedging and flowering shrubs that offer a good degree of seclusion. The space is both practical and peaceful large enough for family use, yet manageable. There is gated side access that leads to the front where you have driveway parking for one car and you can then park on the street for an additional space across your driveway.
