A handsome bay-fronted Victorian detached Villa, skilfully extended into the loft (2015) and ground floor rear (2017) with south facing garden, a fully insulated 'cedar-wood' garden room, and excellent parking options. First viewings Sat 7 December - by appointment.
Winthorpe (1891) is a fine example of late Victorian architecture. This delightful period home retains much of its original charm and character, whilst successfully encompassing stylish extensions to provide light and versatile spaces to meet the demands of modern living. The sellers have also added a superb fully insulated 'cedar-wood' garden room with useful side store.
The ground floor was carefully re-configured during 2017 works and comprises a traditional front reception room with feature fireplace (incl. matching alcove cabinetry), and splay-bay window furnished with plantation shutters. A middle reception room is currently arranged as a TV room / snug with access to an adjoining laundry cloakroom / with W.C. To complete the ground floor an impressive kitchen / dining / family room is designed with architectural roof glazing and opens out naturally into the garden.
The first floor offers two very well proportioned double bedrooms (front & back), both of which span the width of the house, along with a further good size third bedroom. The family wash room serving this floor was recently converted into a shower room with a comfortable walk-in shower enclosure.
The loft conversion provides a superb principle bedroom suite featuring a built-in reclaimed wood wardrobe. This, in turn, gives way to a 'roomy' and tastefully appointed en-suite shower room. There is also access to a front gable loft storage area.
Externally, the property opens out onto a broad south facing garden - laid with an 'easy care' lawn - enclosed fencing and established boarders.
