5 bedroom terraced house for sale

Historic character meets modern tactility. At this thoughtfully reconfigured family home, expansive social settings celebrate an interplay of light and space.

Past a traditional exterior, a footprint attuned to family life pairs heritage proportions with contemporary interludes. A large bay window brings sunshine into the reception room – a double lounge with an uplifting feel. Against a bright canvas, an ornate period fireplace provides a dash of colour, while floor-to-ceiling shelving awaits a library of literature.

At the rear of the home, a contemporary extension houses a generous kitchen and dining area. An uplifting space for families to converge, white walls create a canvas for light from a skylight spanning the length of the room. Tone and texture lends an air of mid-century modernism to the kitchen, drawn together with minimalist sage cabinets and a warm wooden island. Sky-lit dining comes courtesy of built-in bench seating, while a picture window provides a playful connection to the lounge. Flowing through a wall of glazing, tiles extending outdoors blur the boundaries with a private garden.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite exudes an opulent ambiance. Dark navy walls are punctuated by a trio of sash windows, casting light across wooden floorboards and a feature fireplace. Fitted wardrobes border the entrance to an en suite bathroom, fitted with an indulgent roll-top bathtub. Four further bedrooms are dressed in pastel tones, with pared-back design that prioritises a restful feel. Two benefit from en suite bathrooms, while the others share access to a spacious shower room.

Accessed from the second floor landing, the home additionally benefits from a serene terrace enclosed by blossoming greenery.
