An exceptional period home, providing bright, beautifully presented
accommodation, with two double bedrooms and a first floor bathroom. The
property is generously proportioned and has a professionally planned, west
facing garden.
The property offers a lovely blend of character and contemporary features that
complement each other perfectly. There is a traditional cast iron fireplace in
the sitting room and pretty corbels over the staircase, yet to the rear there
is a bright, well planned kitchen, equipped for modern living. The owners have
also heavily invested in their garden, ensuring that with careful planting
there will be colour throughout the seasons.
Approached over a neat front garden retained by a low brick wall, there is a
path leading to the front door. The entrance hall is elegant and welcoming
with an archway and corbels framing the staircase as it leads up to the first
floor.
The sitting/dining room is a bright dual aspect room with windows to the front
and rear and beautiful, engineered oak flooring. The sitting area is to the
front of the property and is a lovely space with plenty of room for seating
set around the working fireplace, and there are modern shutters which give a
clean contemporary feel. The dining area overlooks the rear garden and has
space for a large table and chairs. The adjacent kitchen is accessed through a
new sliding oak door and fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted
cabinets. There is space for a dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer,
as well as a range cooker which fits neatly within the old chimney breast. The
kitchen is dual aspect and enjoys lots of natural light, with a window to the
side and double doors leading out to the garden.
On the first floor the landing opens to two bedrooms and a bathroom, and there
is a large access trap with a fitted loft ladder leading into the roof void,
where there is lots of space for storage. The main bedroom has two windows to
the front and a large fitted wardrobe to one wall. The second bedroom is
slightly smaller but would still comfortably take a double bed and this room
has views over the garden. On the first floor there is also a large,
exceptionally bright bathroom, which has a window and a roof light that flood
the room with natural light. The bathroom has a built in cupboard and is
fitted with a w. c and hand - basin, and there is a vintage roll top bath tub,
with shower over.
Outside the rear garden faces due west and enjoys a high degree of privacy.
The owners have invested in adding a new patio, garden shed and raised beds
planted with over 200 bulbs. To the rear of the property there is a gate to a
secure pathway leading to Canterbury St. Which allows pedestrian access into
the rear garden.
Agents Note:
1\. The owners have fitted insulation beneath the flooring in the
sitting/dining room, however this is not reflected in the EPC. They have also
ensured that all the floorboards were properly secured before new carpets were
fitted.
2\. Lapsed planning permission exists for a loft conversion, planning ref
19/1700/ful. Plans can be viewed on the council planning portal.
