4 bedroom semi-detached house

Features and description

Rooms

Porch / Entrance hall
External doors open to a closed entrance porch hallway with an original inner door to the hallway. This is a welcoming space with a stripped floor, a traditional staircase with a cupboard beneath.

Lounge
A totally authentic room, dual aspect with an imposing square bay. The open, period fireplace is a stunning focal point and includes a log burner. Other features include picture rails, a ceiling rose and coving.

Dining Room
Like the lounge, the dining room is dual aspect with a fine fireplace and other features. Windows to the side of the house and to the garden fill this room with natural light.

Utility / Cloak / WC
In the middle of the house, off the hallway is a utility / cloakroom with a WC and a vanity basin. This has a small window with obscure glass and a cabinet. This room provides a home for the wall-mounted boiler.

Kitchen
This is a tremendously bright, social space with windows the full length of the room at the side and south-facing windows at the end of the kitchen. Through the hallway is a snug/ dining area into the bay at the side of the house and opposite is another fireplace with a solid fuel burner and original cupboards beside the chimney breast. This Morning Room area has a ceiling rose and has been completely opened-up to a kitchen featuring a wide selection of base units and storage cupboards lining the walls to 3 sides. The oven is integrated with a halogen hob and an extractor hood over and above the units, the work surfaces are lined with smart splash-back tiling. The sink and drainer is Belfast-style, a wide window at the end of the kitchen looks out to the back garden and a door to the side opens to an impressive side garden and patio.

Hallway / staircase
The staircase has the original balustrade and a dado rail extending to a split-level landing with borrowed light from a glazed loft hatch.

Bedroom 1
A double room to the front has angled bay windows, a black cast iron fireplace with tiling and a hearth and pine doors opening to both cupboards in the chimney breast recesses.

Dressing Room
Bedroom 1 links into a dressing room. The window to the front of the room has shutters, coving and picture rails. It would be easy to connect this room to the landing and close the access to the adjoining bedroom to create a 5th bedroom if preferred.

Bedroom 2
A super double room has an original open cast fireplace and a tiled heart. This room is a mirror (in shape and size) of the dining room beneath.

Bedroom 3
At the end of the landing, bedroom 3 has an ornamental cast fireplace and a cupboard in the recess. The bay window looks across the gardens behind the house. This is a beautiful room.

Bedroom 4
A single room with a sash window currently in use as an office.

Bathroom
The bathroom is quite a thing. The stylish clawfoot bath has a mixer tap over and a tall wooden double-glazed window is to the side. The thermostatic shower is in an enclosure to the corner of the room and a wide basin with a WC complete the suite. A further window is positioned behind the WC and spots supplement the natural light.

Front garden
A dropped kerb offers vehicle access to the front of the house with the potential for parking for more than one vehicle - a great advantage in a neighbourhood where very few of the houses can provide this.

Side / Back garden
Outside of the back door is a south-facing, lawned rear garden with 2 sheds, a sun house and a superb patio area covered with a green-oak pergola. The layout of the dining kitchen adjoining this space create fantastic opportunities for entertaining. The garden walls are built with reclaimed bricks, there is power, an outside tap and easy access is on offer from the front of the house via the side driveway. All-in-all, this presents a wonderfully private and versatile outdoor space.
