FIRST VIEWINGS SATURDAY 26th JULY. A charming three bedroom semi-detached character property situated in a highly coveted tree-lined road, complemented by a beautifully established 82ft rear garden, driveway parking, and a separate garden studio / home office.
The current owners have happily resided in the property for some 37 years, undertaking major improvement works during their tenure: notably, a ground floor side and rear extension designed by the owner, an architect. These works create clever inter-connecting, partial open-plan spaces between kitchen/diner, family room and side extension, which extends right through into a flourishing landscaped garden – a prerequisite these days for modern living.
The side entrance is thoughtfully designed with pitched glazed roof distributing light throughout the ground floor, and provides a useful study space and built-in coat and shoe cupboards. Immediately off to the right is an elegant front sitting room with bay window and cast-iron working fireplace, beautifully offset against matching alcoves with floating shelves. The central family room, also with an open fireplace, takes you through to the kitchen/diner with roof light; this space enjoys same level access with bi-fold doors opening out to the terrace. To complete the ground floor is a practical utility room and separate WC.
Upstairs provides a lovely front aspect main bedroom, landing with loft access leading down to two further bedrooms – one double, and a further rear bedroom currently set up as a home office. To complete this floor is a stylish bathroom with tunnel skylight window.
Externally, the rear garden enjoys good privacy and is a real haven for gardeners, planted with a variety of specimen plants, fruit trees, flowers and shrubs. At the end of the garden is a highly useful office/studio allowing for all manner of practical uses and providing covered storage to the side.
Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate this traditional family home successfully combining that perfect balance of period charm with modern design, shape and form.
