6 bedroom semi-detached house

A gravelled forecourt leads to the covered front door, which opens onto a small vestibule that leads to the study that benefits from built-in cupboards and views to the front of the property.
Built circa 1933, the ground floor enjoys a 2.73m ceiling height, typical of the era of the construction of the property, and this is obvious as one enters through the glazed door that leads to the tiled entrance hall.

The drawing room is entered through another set of glazed doors, and benefits from a large window to the front, wood strip flooring, a now redundant central fireplace with stone surround, and built-in base cupboards to one side with shelving above, and being south-east facing, is flooded with the morning and early afternoon sun.

A glazed door from the hall opens onto the rear-aspect kitchen/family room; the tiled floor from the hall carries on into this space, and with two bay windows creating two separate areas, the room is thus divided into a kitchen/breakfast area and a family room. The former boasts a range of painted Shaker-style wall and base cabinets, topped with a hardwood worktop to include a French farmhouse sink.

There is also a breakfast bar with drawers below and space for three stools. The integrated range of appliances includes a free range oven with a six ring gas hob and plater warmer/griddle with extractor fan canopy above, two ovens with grill base and a dishwasher. The splashback is tiled with decorative tiles above the sink area and over the cooker range. There are two further built-in units and shelving.

The family room, which boasts a central fireplace with stone surround, and built-in base cupboards to one side with shelving above, offers ample space for seating and a dining table in the bay window, with French doors opening onto the rear garden.

A small walk-in utility room off the kitchen area offers space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. From the hall, the guest cloakroom is accessed from a door under the stairs.
The easy rising staircase leads up to the first floor with wooden flooring throughout and where four bedrooms are located, as well as a generous family bathroom. The principal bedroom is front facing and offers a range of built-in wardrobes. Bedroom two also benefits from a set of built-in wardrobes and shelving and a large bay window overlooking the rear garden.

The two further bedrooms, one with a deep wardrobe, are both single, while the family bathroom, serving this floor, has tiled floor, panelled walls and a white suite comprising a wall-mounted wash hand basin, a low level WC, a free-standing cast-iron bath and a fully-tiled corner wet shower cubicle with glass surround.
The easy rising staircase continues from the spacious landing to two further double bedrooms and a well-appointed shower room, again with quality fittings throughout. The front bedroom has two Velux windows and access to the under the eaves storage space, while the rear bedroom has a Juliet balcony with views over the cricket club grounds.

A paved patio that spans the full width of the property offers outdoor seating, while the garden is mainly laid-to-lawn, with mature shrubs and two sheds at the back. There is a paved side path leading to the front driveway of the property.
