Welcome To 5 Southgrove Terrace - From popular Southgrove Road, a gravel driveway sweeps to the front of the attractive stone façade of Southgrove Terrace. A decked terrace leads on to an inset storm porch, with decorative stone detailing and a part-glazed front door which creates a welcoming entrance to this beautiful home.

Entrance Hall - Presented in a mix of fresh white décor over a stripped pine floor, complemented with a lovely soft light from the stained-glass window in the front door, the entrance hall has twin built-in storage cupboards plus a useful understairs cupboard. Doors lead to the sitting room, dining room, utility room and cloakroom, and an elegant staircase leads to the first and second floors, creating a sense of grandeur as you enter.

Sitting Room - A beautifully proportioned sitting room, with a feature fireplace complete with a woodburning stove, a period surround and a slate hearth. There is a large bay window which captures lovely sea views, while the stripped floorboards have been recently refinished in a rich, dark tone to enhance the room's charm. The sitting room is open plan to the dining room.

Dining Room - The flooring flows through a broad arch from the living room and into the dining area, which is presented in a combination of glorious green walls and cabinetry and green patterned wallpaper. Built-in cupboards and illuminated shelves are set either side of a chimney breast, and large window and door connect to the kitchen/breakfast room.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room - An extension to the original house, the beautifully designed kitchen is a light and bright space, and benefits from a stunning lantern-light in the roof, which combines with a window and door to the side path and an abundance of lighting. The kitchen comprises a range of high-quality fitted wall, base and full-size cabinets, presented in a chic grey shaker style and complemented with white quartz worktops and a large-scale tiled floor. A generous kitchen island creates a social space, and built-in appliances, include a dishwasher, fridge, and freezer, a six-burner range cooker with matching hood, and there is an attractive double Belfast sink with a heritage style tap set beneath the window. A door leads out to the side path, with steps providing a rear entrance to the upper part of Southgrove Road.

Utility Room - Fully equipped with plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer, a classic 'Belfast' sink, ample storage cupboards, and a sleek worktop, the utility room is an extremely useful space. Stripped pine floors continue from the hall, there is a window to the rear aspect, and the utility is also home to a recently installed unvented large hot water cylinder.

Cloakroom - A well-appointed cloakroom featuring a heritage style WC and wash basin, period tiling and a stripped pine floor.

First-Floor Landing - The stunning staircase turns its way up to the first-floor landing, with a characterful mahogany handrail, ornate balusters and a smart grey stair runner carpet, and the stairwell is flooded with natural light from above. The fresh white décor continues, and doors lead to all three bedrooms on this floor, to the cloakroom and to the shower room.

Bedroom One - A spacious and light-filled bedroom with a beautiful bay window perfectly framing the extensive sea views. Two fitted wardrobes provide plenty of storage, and there is a fireplace with a period surround and a slate hearth which adds to the room's elegance.
