4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Situated in the heart of South Knighton, this thoughtfully crafted four-bedroom Edwardian home has undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment and remodelling. The architecture exhibits a subtle yet striking approach to material and geometry, creating a visually appealing first impression and offering immediate kerb appeal. Internally, the house boasts an elegantly interconnected layout, just shy of 1,700 square ft, finished with a serene, Farrow & Ball-inspired colour palette, making it perfectly suited for modern day living. Having undergone significant renovation in recent years, the property now features a new roof (2020) and double-glazed windows, designed with energy efficiency in mind.

Upon entry, a stained glass-leaded front door opens into a deceptively spacious hallway, laid with herringbone parquet flooring, providing access to two generous reception rooms, an extended breakfast kitchen, and a downstairs WC. The principal reception room is situated at the front and features a cast-iron log burner with a limestone surround and hearth, serving as a charming focal point. A trio of double-glazed windows allows natural light to flood this room and the entire ground floor. The second reception room is centrally positioned, with double-glazed windows offering views of the extensive South-facing rear garden. The extended breakfast kitchen at the rear has been meticulously remodelled with exceptional attention to detail. It features an array of off-white wall and base units with Corrian worktops, a moulded double bowl sink, and a range of integrated appliances, including an electric oven, Siemens induction hob with an extractor unit, microwave, warming drawer, and dishwasher. There is also plumbing for an American-style fridge-freezer. A conveniently located utility area houses the water tank and wall-mounted boiler, offering space and plumbing for a washing machine. At the far end of the ground floor, a beautifully designed dining area, illuminated by three pendant lights, with views of the garden through uPVC French doors. The spacious, open-plan layout and abundance of natural light give this area a tranquil and serene atmosphere.

The first-floor landing leads to three bedrooms and a stylishly appointed family bathroom. Two generously sized double bedrooms are characterised by cast-iron fireplaces and original picture rails, boasting fitted wardrobes and a bold inclusion of mustard yellow and sage green colour palettes. A third bedroom, currently used as an office, overlooks the front of the tree-lined Sidney Road. Cleverly extended to incorporate a loft conversion, the space found here accommodates a fourth bedroom, which is tastefully designed and features two Velux skylights and built-in storage in the eaves. A second stylishly appointed family bathroom serves this bedroom, completing the accommodation.

Externally, the property boasts an expansive south-facing garden, predominantly laid to lawn with a separate paved seating area and an array of raised flowerbeds and shrubs. A spacious tandem garage is a rare advantage in this location and offers potential for further extension of the accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. In summary, this is an exceptional home in a thriving suburb, one that truly warrants an early viewing to appreciate the space and finish on offer.
