One of the most special and original houses that have come to market for some
time. Tucked away in the corner of Walpole Terrace, so that one can see down
Canning Street and spread over four floors, you are treated to a home of
comfort, original features, plenty of space, including the Drawing Room, which
i believe takes us right back, simply a must see.
_Details_ The front door to the property is nicely set back from Walpole
Terrace, so you are not walking straight out in to the street. There is a
tiled path and a small front garden laid to gravel with space for seating.
As we enter the entrance hall, we find a wealth of period features, including
coving, original mouldings and dado rail, with wooden flooring underfoot.
These features are echoed throughout the property.
We take a left turn into the open plan dining kitchen room, which stretches
the entire length of the house. At the west end of the room, we have a large
sash window into a bay, allowing a lot of natural light. There is an ornate
fireplace with tiled hearth and cast iron surround.
This is a wonderful sociable dining area with space for a large table, perfect
for dinner parties and family Christmas lunches.
The dining area leads though into a very spacious kitchen.
The kitchen itself has an extensive range of wall and base units, with a
laminate worktop. There is a large range cooker with gas hob and electric
oven, space for a large American style fridge freezer, and two heated towel
rails.
The rear of the kitchen is made light and bright by double - glazed skylight
windows above. There is a sink below and plumbing for a dishwasher. We then
walk round into the utility area, with plumbing and space for a washing
machine and dryer, stainless steel sink unit and drainer, and further storage.
A door takes us back into the entrance hall, where we find understairs
storage.
We will now climb the stairs to the mezzanine between the ground and first
floor. Here there is a shower room, with shower, heated towel rail, low - level
W. C. , and wall mounted sink unit. The external door from the mezzanine landing
leads out to the courtyard garden.
Climbing 5 further stairs, to the right there is a good - sized study, which
could also be used as a double bedroom. At the rear, is a sash window
overlooking the garden. There is bespoke shelving either side of the chimney
breast.
Now, we have one of the highlights of the property - a large light and airy
drawing room that stretches the full width of the house. Four sash windows
look down Canning Street, with nothing to block either the light or your view
of this very pretty and well maintained street. It is an elegant room with
plenty of space and the original floorboards, and a stunning fireplace with
working gas coal fire and marble surround. This room needs to be seen and
experienced to be appreciated.
We head upstairs to the next mezzanine level where we will find the family
bathroom. There is a good size bath, with shower over, separate hand shower
attachment, Savoy wall mounted hand basin with storage below, and low level
W. C. The room is fully tiled in Travertine stone and has a frosted sash window
overlooking the charming walled garden.
Now we continue up to the bedrooms. First, a good - sized rear double bedroom
with sash window overlooking the patio, ornate fire surround and wooden
mantel, with original floorboards.
The principal bedroom, like the drawing room, stretches the full width of the
house and has four sash windows to the front, looking up towards Queens Park.
Again, this is a bright spacious room with a wonderful vista. The room offers
more than enough space for a super - king bed and plenty of furniture. Two
built - in wardrobes add to the ample storage space.
The final staircase will take us up to the loft conversion, a wonderfully
bright room, with Velux windows on either side of the roof. This would make a
perfect double bedroom or study. There are several built - in cupboards with
access to boarded eaves storage space.
We will now go back downstairs into the courtyard garden which has external
tap and electrics.
Steps take you up from the back door to the secluded and very attractive patio
area. This is a private space, framed by woods to the rear of the property,
and enclosed by flint walls. With slate tile underfoot, and edged by raised
borders with mature shrubs, this a wonderful sociable, secure, lush and green
space.
