A beautiful period door opens to the spacious entrance hall with majestic high ceilings and fab original timber floors. The first reception sits to your right with an original feature fireplace and a wide bay window with plantation shutters. An even more impressive reception stretches to double length on the far side of the hall.

There's a handy wc slotted niftily under the stairs in the hall. This precedes your magnificent L-shaped kitchen/diner which has a vaulted ceiling of glass over the generous dining space. This sits by tri-fold doors that open full-width to the side patio. The rear garden stretches more than the width of the house to supply a raised astro-turf bed and wide decked patio. Direct access is also offered to the right side of the building. Back inside you find a sumptuous modern kitchen running generously on three sides. Yummy midnight blue cabinets, marble counters, five ring gas range and integrated dishwasher. Tonnes of storage.
Heading up the original staircase (with painted treads and risers, Sisal runner and chunky Newel post), you reach a lovely L-shaped landing. Bedroom one, a mammoth double, fronts the street into the bay and has floor to ceiling bespoke storage either side of the chimney. Bedroom two, another handsome front-facing double steals the left bay and enjoys an adjoining en suite shower room. Bedroom three faces rear with pretty garden views, as does bedroom which is currently arranged as a study. This neighbours a pretty family bathroom with plantation shutters and fresh white suite and tiling. Bedroom five will knock your socks off!
