IF YOU LIVED HERE...

You'll be stretching out in a shade under 1500 square feet of living space, the generous original architecture expanded still further with love, care and expertise throughout. Your twenty four foot deep though lounge is a fine example. Engineered hardwood runs underfoot, a vintage hearth with chic metro tile surround sits to the fore, and to the rear there's a window to your ingeniously arranged kitchen/diner, letting natural light flow throughout. Your dining area sits between three windows, looking back into the through lounge and out to your side return, all overseen by a striking exposed brick chimney breast with reclaimed timber mantel. Moving on into your kitchen, you have sleek white cabinets running down the flanks, topped with chunky quartz-effect counters and a hexagonal backsplash. Dual aspect, more natural light flows in from the garden. Upstairs, your principal bedroom is an especially sizeable double of over 200 square feet, with classic timber shutters on the bright bay window, soft carpeting and a pristine white paintjob. Bedroom two's a strikingly appointed double with garden view and open shelving, while the first floor sleeping arrangements are completed by your 140 square foot rear bedroom, complete with its own modest hallway and currently in use as an elegant home office, finished in smoky grey from floor to shoulder. Your family bathroom finishes the storey - a characterful affair with vintage geometrics underfoot and a rainfall shower over the tub. Past a striking exposed brick wall now, and up into your palatial loft suite, where you have a skylit, 160 square foot double sleeper, plushly carpeted and with a handy home working nook. Next door the luxury is amplified by a dedicated dressing room (also skylit) and a chic, boutique en suite shower room, with oversized rainfall shower cubicle.
