IF YOU LIVED HERE
Set within a handsome period building, original Victorian features blend seamlessly with contemporary interventions such as fully repointed and restored brickwork and cast iron radiators. The property can be entered either by a practical side entrance leading directly to the kitchen - great for unloading the shopping from your driveway, and also from a traditional street-facing doorway opening into the hallway.

The impressive double reception room stretches to 24ft, where restored period elements – including coving and ceiling roses – are complemented by herringbone wooden flooring flowing throughout. The room's focal point is a modernised fireplace featuring a wood slab mantel and grey brick hearth, flanked by alcoves that provide
considered storage possibilities.

The kitchen extension represents a masterclass in contemporary design, where light floods in through a continuous band of skylights and a fully glazed rear elevation. This space connects seamlessly with the garden via both a single glazed door or bi-fold doors, creating a fluid indoor-outdoor living arrangement perfect for entertaining. The considered material palette includes Farrow and Ball stiff key blue ply cabinetry, wooden worktops and industrial-style elements like a limed brick feature wall, exposed steel beams and extractor flue add architectural interest. A moveable island unit on castors offers flexible preparation space, complementing the professional-grade double oven and gas hob.

The elegant family bathroom features distressed lime-washed floorboards, a designer bath and sink, and a sophisticated combination of smoke-grey tiles with charcoal accents. Natural light streams through a generous window, enhancing the sense of space. Upstairs, the principal bedroom spans the width of the property, with 2 windows overlooking the quiet residential street. The second bedroom, with its warm terracotta walls and charcoal trim, offers a tranquil garden aspect.

The private rear garden has been thoughtfully designed with grey porcelain tiles forming an immediate terrace, ascending via two decked steps to a lawn punctuated with stepping stone tiles. Horizontal slatted fencing draws your eye to the raised beds at the far end housing a carefully curated selection of acres, ornamental grasses, and ferns, creating a low-maintenance urban oasis with a further patio at the rear.
