'Rokney' is a truly fabulous 'B’ listed lower conversion oozing a unique style
which is rarely seen in traditionally proportioned properties in this highly
sought after locale. Constructed around 1899 and set within well - tended and
extremely private family gardens. , the most attractive and imposing building
has been well maintained and upgraded externally and, with many bespoke and
unexpected treasures to be discovered within, it is sure to appeal to all who
come to visit. The fabulous entrance vestibule accessed through a substantial
single timber door with stone archway above and carved detailing above.
A bonus of this beautiful lower conversion is that, all grounds around this
property are private to the current owners, with the upstairs neighbour having
a separate entrance and garden.
A few steps lead up to a welcoming dining hallway with feature flooring, high
level cornicing, dado panelling and front facing window. The magnificent
corner / front facing lounge could be both formal or, indeed relaxed with a
three pane oriole window to the side and two additional windows shed good
natural light onto pleasing decor, high level cornice work and a magnificent
timber fireplace with brick backing and hearth, a dining room is offered
through an archway on semi open plan and has two high level windows and a
French door leading out to a side patio with pizza oven and space for al -
fresco drinks 'n' dining.
The well - appointed kitchen offers excellent storage in floor and wall mounted
units, feature parquets style timber flooring complimenting the extensive
worktop space and central preparatory island with sink unit within. There are
twin rear facing windows overlooking the rear lawn and a superb gas range
style cooker has ample rings and ovens within and integrated fridge freezer
and dishwasher is included. Dado panelling and overhead lighting further at to
the appeal of this area which acts as a central hub for the family within and
represents an ideal space for chats during gatherings or get together. There
are three bedrooms provided - with the master offering, thru deep, dark wall
coverings, a distinct gothic vibe yet still being well lit from the five pane
walk - in oriole window which faces the front and overlooks the gardens and
additional front facing windows. High level picture rail, cast iron fire
surround and in - built shallow press storage cupboard. There is a lovely en -
suite bathroom with a four piece suite including a W. C, wash hand basin,
panelled bath and separate shower stall with natural rainfall style shower
within. Accessed off the kitchen is the rear hallway, which has three storage
cupboards off and a handy, well kitted out utility room. Two bedrooms are also
found off here including a potential granny / teenagers suite or indeed
potential Air b’n’b concern with en - suite bathroom off and French doors
leading out to a charming hidden 'fairy garden' to the side. The compact
family bathroom has a three piece, traditionally styled suite including a free
standing claw foot bath and again feature dado panelling. The agents urge
potential purchasers to 'amble round the grounds' to appreciate the various
spaces on offer, the privacy, the extent of upgrading, landscaping finishing
and tending which has been painstakingly undertaken by the vendors over the
years and, of course, viewers can assign and ascertain their own take as to
which areas will be used for who, why and what. . . . . . enviable and exciting
stuff indeed ! There is a sweeping tarmac driveway leading in from the main
road on the corner with parking provided for 2/3 family vehicles, leading up
to a generously proportioned and substantial detached garage block, with power
and light installed and pitched roof with co - ordinating cast - iron detailing
matching the main building itself. Again at the side of the garage and
accessed off the dining room is the informal paved patio area with a pizza
oven and in - built sleeper style seating and table.
The extensive front lawn is on a lower level with mature trees, plants and
shrubs surrounding and a hidden garden room. .
At the rear, the main lawn is in great order - definitively edged and enclosed
by stone walls with chipped areas creating a patio and various outhouses and
wood stores which have been custom built to house all of the 'garden
paraphernalia' as required. Further features include excellent decorative
works throughout, many retained and interesting traditionally styled features
- supremely complimented by contemporary finishes and fittings throughout. Gas
central heating is fitted circulating through traditionally styled radiators
and sash style windows have been well maintained. Again, viewers should also
satisfy themselves as to the potential for holiday letting some apartments
where ease of access is gained with a layout that is 'sure to work' for many
differing scenarios. Again, this is, in the agents opinion 'one of those
properties' that, sure. . . may not be for everyone but is sure to dazzle and
delight, will push many 'differing buttons' and the select few, once viewed,
are sure to fall spellbound through its grace and charm !
