A separate entrance complete with windows overlooking the garden from the

throughout the day.
The garden offers ample space for relaxation and play. Bedecked with dining

of room for extra guests or raucous family fun.
Meanwhile, parking is easy with a double garage tastefully designed to
complement the exterior of the home.
The entrance to the property is a wonderful display of Victorian architecture.
The large front door is embellished with magnificent stained - glass windows
which flood the property with natural light. Fanning out into a mullioned
surround, finished with a stone archway, the entire effect is impressive.
Inside, this home is bright and spacious. The property is full of character
with interesting features in every room. Large windows shower each space with
natural light which is amplified by the neutral colour scheme throughout.
The journey begins in the light - filled entrance hall which leads into the
dining room and living room.
The ground floor layout flows seamlessly from room to room with tiled flooring
in natural stone enhancing the smooth transition into each space. Elegant,
open arched doorways and neutral white decor further enhance the sense of
space.
The living room is a spectacular welcome to the property. A dazzling arched
alcove, featuring mullioned windows on either side, is a highlight of the
space. Though furnished beautifully for family living there is still an
expanse of space.
The room is finished with period features which include a carefully restored
fireplace, cornicing and ornate plasterwork on the ceiling.
As you enter the dining room, you’re rewarded with more delightful period
features. Exquisite cornicing lines the ceiling’s perimeter whilst a divine
alcove, home to a piano and oversize chairs, frames the space.
Opposite, the large mullioned bay window is a highlight of the room, providing
tranquil views across the garden. Again, you’re greeted with a wonderful sense
of space.
Although a sizeable dining table sits at its centre, there is still an
enormous amount of room on every side, delivering another restful room which
can be used and furnished in any way you choose.
Providing a large, airy office space complete with a generous window, the
study is well - placed for hectic family life. Conveniently looking out over the
garden, you can keep an eye on the children as you work or complete chores in
the laundry room or kitchen.
Even with a large desk in place, there is still lots of room to use the floor
space for family activities or mid - day working. Offering lots of flexibility
this is another room with lots of options for multi - functional family use.
Off the study is a generous laundry room, leading to the downstairs WC. The
practical room is ideal for completing all sorts of chores and hobbies in
peace as well as children and visitors dashing in from the garden.

a valuable addition to the property. Ample space for utilities and storage
plus a sink, make this a well - placed room with lots of use for busy family
routines.
The kitchen is a generous, welcoming and well - designed space with a large
walk - in pantry. Shaker cupboards line the walls on one side providing
extensive areas for cooking and food preparation. One can move quickly to and
from the garden, laundry room and study from here with ease.
A tiled splashback complemented by tiled flooring make this a calm, relaxing
place for family and friends to unwind and dine. Despite the large dining
table at the centre of the room there is still lots of space for other
activities. A decorative, Victorian timber bannister marks the entrance to the
first floor. In keeping with the fashion of the time, panelling and
balustrades together create a stunning statement piece.
Three of the rooms upstairs are on the first floor with a fourth on the second
accompanied by a large loft room. From an adult - only floor space with en - suite
to a private space for a nanny, lodger, older child or guests, there are lots
of ways to utilise the space.
The light and neutral decor continue upstairs. Though fully furnished, each
room still offers its occupant lots of space for rest and play.
Boasting natural light and garden views, each room is finished with
interesting features and period detailing. From pretty cornicing to original
fireplaces and built - in storage, these are wonderful, tranquil retreats.
A bright and light bathroom is ideal for busy family mornings and evenings.
From the large walk - in shower to the generous bath and practical yet beautiful
tiled floor, there’s lots of room for the chaos of family bathtimes.
A large double window, that’s not overlooked, completes the space offering a
restful treetop garden view.
The generous landing is bright and airy. Flooded with natural light from the
mullioned windows, the space leads up to the second floor where you will find
the fourth bedroom.
Next door, the loft room is currently used as a storage space. Built - in
storage on either side plus a window make this a room which could be adapted
for any purpose you choose. The floor and walls of the large cellar are lined
with a plastic membrane to keep the room dry and divert any entry of water
towards the drain, which is fitted with a non - return valve, maintained by
Severn Trent.
