This well-proportioned, end of terrace family home on Kimberley Road has a grand double bay façade and offers an exciting opportunity for significant expansion and modernisation.
The property has been well cared for by the current owners and is in good decorative order throughout, retaining attractive period features and benefitting from a high degree of natural light.
The property is set back behind an attractive walled garden with wrought-iron fencing, which provides screening and privacy from the street. A colourful stained-glass entrance door opens to a reception hall, which leads to all ground floor accommodation. A generous and open-plan reception room has a large bay window overlooking the front aspect, French doors opening to the rear garden, a working fireplace and bespoke recess cabinetry and book shelving. The kitchen/dining room has been extended and offers dual aspects and an open-plan layout. There is an extensive range of matching cabinetry and drawers, working surfaces, integrated appliances and an Aga range oven (converted to gas). Access to the garden is from the dining area.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to a family bathroom and three elegant bedrooms. All bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes.
Outside, the rear garden is fully enclosed with side gated access. Landscaped gardens provide screening due to tall hedging and there are a variety of mature shrubs. There is a broad timber summer house, which could be easily converted to a home working space or studio room.
The property is located in a conservation area.
