An iconic 3-bedroom family home forming part of a converted water tower dating back to 1880, situated on a tree-lined avenue and benefitting from off street parking.

Description

Icart House formed part of the iconic water tower on Northbrook Avenue, with this striking property having been transformed into a unique and characterful family home. Its history is woven into the design, with the conversion creating a bold, contemporary layout that blends original charm with practical modern living.

The ground floor centres around a spacious kitchen and dining room, a real heart of the home. Here, modern finishes are balanced with generous proportions, and bi-folding doors open directly onto a private walled garden—perfect for entertaining, al fresco dining, or simply enjoying a quiet moment outdoors. There are a range of high-quality wall and floor mounted storage units, built in appliances such as an oven, hob, microwave, and dishwasher. The space flows seamlessly into a bright sunroom and a welcoming sitting room, creating a natural connection between inside and out. A practical utility room and guest WC complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, with the principal bedroom features an en suite shower room and enjoys a sense of calm retreat. The thoughtful arrangement of rooms makes the most of light and views, reflecting the building's original elevated purpose. A fully fitted family bathroom completes the first floor.

Of particular note is the planning permission granted under reference 23/01120/HOU that could be undertaken to further transform the property and create additional space should there be the need.

OUTSIDE
Enclosed by time-worn brick and flint, the walled garden carries the quiet charm of an old village retreat. Deep borders brim and beds contain cottage flowers and established shrubs, their colours and textures changing with the seasons. The paved terrace offers a private space to dine al fresco and entertain all year round with views over the garden. There is an expanse of manicured lawn that is ideal for young children to enjoy or gardeners to maintain. The sheltered setting creates a sense of seclusion, while the character of the walls themselves tells of age and permanence. It's a garden that feels rooted in history, a private haven that is surprising to find in such a convenient central location.
