The appeal of a character property with a contemporary twist will always be one to capture the imagination, and this example does not disappoint. Restored original features and high quality fittings are found throughout this stylishly renovated property. Thought to have been built in 1870, the character exuding from this spacious house is immediately apparent in the ENTRANCE HALL, with mosaic tiles completing a grand first impression with stained glass door and partition leading into the hallway.
The SITTING ROOM is complete with a fireplace having a coal effect Stovax gas fire, together with panelled walls and picture rails, the charm of which complement the oak parquet flooring. A bay window with arched panels (and fitted shutters) allow light to flow through this generous room. On the opposite side of the entrance hall, is the DINING ROOM, currently utilised as a study. Similarly attractive windows also have fitted shutters. Bespoke units fitted to recesses either side of the chimney breast provide storage and shelving, framing a resplendent marble fireplace.
The KITCHEN/ FAMILY ROOM is spectacular: extended to provide an exceptionally generous kitchen/dining/sitting room with underfloor heating which is both luxurious and practical. Fitted with a Neptune kitchen in a classic timeless design, it has been meticulously curated to provide a harmonious run of cabinetry under a marble top with considerable storage. Neff appliances include a built-in eye level oven, microwave/fan oven, warming drawer and four ring induction hob with integrated ventilation system together with waste bin and recycling bin. There is also an Amica 17/18 bottle wine cooler cabinet, plus integrated full height fridge, under counter freezer and dishwasher. The sitting/dining area overlooks the garden with built-in lift and slide doors opening to the patio which abuts the property, maximising the light that flows through this room, with an orangery-style ceiling yet furthering the impression of light and space. It is undoubtedly a room to enjoy with family and friends.
The ground floor concludes with a door leading to the CELLAR/UTILITY ROOM, with a Belfast sink and tap, adjacent to the work surface and plumbing for white goods. Off the hall is also a CLOAKROOM, complete with hand-wash basin, WC and heated towel rail.
Stairs rise to the FIRST FLOOR and spacious landing. The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM is generously proportioned, with a bay window mirroring that of the sitting room, and a highly decorative fireplace adding style to this elegant room. The adjacent bedroom is used as a DRESSING ROOM and the extraordinarily generous FAMILY BATHROOM is finished to an impressive standard. The fireplace, within a polished stone surround, lies adjacent to the fitted vanity unity with raised wash-hand basin. There is also a shower cubicle, extra-large bath, with central tap, and a WC. It is undoubtedly a room to enjoy. BEDROOM 2, a fine double bedroom, has another beautiful marble fireplace and the bay window frames views of the rear garden.
