This attractive 1930s semi-detached home has been thoughtfully extended to provide beautifully proportioned and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors. Presented in very good order throughout, the property combines the character and charm of its period origins with the practical requirements of modern family living, complemented by a delightful established garden and a substantial detached garden studio.
The accommodation is particularly appealing for its natural light, generous room proportions and attractive original features, including timber flooring, fireplaces and bay windows.
On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall leads to an elegant sitting room with a bay window overlooking the front garden, an attractive fireplace and warm timber flooring. The sitting room opens through to a generous dining room, creating a wonderful sense of space and providing an ideal setting for both everyday family life and entertaining. French doors open directly onto the rear garden, allowing the outside space to become a natural extension of the living accommodation.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of traditional-style cabinetry, timber work surfaces and integrated appliances, while a particularly useful utility/boot room offers excellent additional storage and practical access to the outside.
The first floor provides two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both enjoying attractive outlooks and retaining a number of charming period details. These are served by a family bathroom. The second floor is devoted to a generous principal bedroom suite, with an adjoining en suite bathroom. The elevated position of this room and its attractive outlook add to the appeal of the accommodation.
A particular feature of the property is the delightful rear garden, which has been lovingly established over time to create a wonderfully mature and private setting. Predominantly laid to lawn, it is framed by an abundance of established trees, shrubs and colourful planting, providing year-round interest and a pleasing sense of seclusion. Paths lead through the garden, with areas offering opportunities for outdoor dining, relaxation and entertaining.
Positioned towards the rear of the garden is an impressive detached studio, extending to approximately 194.9 sqft. With extensive glazing overlooking the garden, the studio is flooded with natural light and provides an exceptionally versatile space, ideally suited to use as a home office, creative studio, gym or additional recreational accommodation.
To the front, the property benefits from a driveway providing off-street parking, together with attractive planted borders and a useful timber garden store.
