IF YOU LIVED HERE…

You'll be luxuriating in an artfully balanced blend of original vintage features and sleek, contemporary design, laid out over 1690 square feet. Let's start in your front lounge, immediately on the left as you enter and beautifully, naturally bright thanks to that large bay window. An ornate ebony mantel and hearth, inlaid with vintage tilework, takes centre stage in the chimney breast.

Next door you've a second reception, similarly styled and leading to your impeccable, 230 square foot kitchen/diner. Vintage timber floorboards give way to smoky grey flagstones as you step into the kitchen, surrounded by a generous complement of pale mint cabinetry, marbled counters and pristine letterbox splashbacks. Pendulum lighting hangs over the breakfast bar, artfully zoning the dining area to the rear. In here you have vintage timber once again underfoot, and a bank of patio doors leading out to your garden.

Your outdoor solace is a verdant, lush combination of mature greenery, thriving beds, patio and lawn, all ending in that superb garden studio. Upstairs now, where your principal sleeper comes in at over 200 square feet, with lovingly restored original floorboards, a bank of oversized windows and jet black vintage mantelpiece, offset by a soft peach colour palette. Bedrooms two and three complete the first floor sleeping arrangements, in similarly impressive style.

Rounding out the first storey is your substantial family bathroom, larger than average at 105 square feet, in here you have twin vintage pedestal sinks, a tub and dedicated shower cubicle, with classic black and white geometrics underfoot. Upstairs now, where bedroom four sits dual aspect between twin skylights and a floor to ceiling window with blonde herringbone hardwood underfoot. Bedroom five lies to the rear, with a garden view, while your second bathroom features a gorgeous walk-in rainfall shower finished in onyx trim.
