Description
One of a number of contrasting period houses on this leafy residential no through road, number six has received more than its fair share of attention having been significantly extended and thoughtfully reconfigured forming a wonderful family home, with the added benefit of a larger than average garden to the rear framed by an eye catching grade II* listed property.
Dating from the 1930's the property retains much of its traditional facade, giving away few clues as to the transformation which has occurred within. As well as being completely re-wired and having received a new central heating system the house has been tastefully redecorated throughout and most notably reconfigured to form a more practical layout in step with modern lifestyles. Aside from the inviting sitting room with its contemporary integrated fireplace, there is a large kitchen/dining room to the rear with an ample range of stylish units and seamless access to the garden via bi-folding doors.
Heading to the first floor via a staircase with distinctive bespoke cast iron spindles, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, one with a dressing room, all served by a luxurious new family bathroom. The loft space above has also been cleverly converted to form a large double bedroom with another newly fitted high quality bathroom.
One of the highlights is the extensive rear garden which has been thoughtfully landscaped to form numerous points of interest and plenty of privacy. A sunken patio directly off the dining room leads up to a large lawn flanked by layered borders, eventually reaching a flight of stone steps, formerly part of the neighbouring house.
