THE PROPERTY

The property offers upwards of 1500 sq ft including 4 double bedrooms, a kitchen diner approaching 20ft, a through lounge approaching 27ft, 2 bathrooms and 3 W/C’s as well and front and rear gardens.

The property is visually striking for many reasons, and we highly recommend buyers view our HD VIDEO walk through and our 360 DERGREE VIRTUAL TOUR as these along with the images and floor plan will offer great insight into what the property offers. We will however note some of the features many buyers will consider stand out as well as some great features that won’t be noticed in any of the visuals of the property:


1. There is an array of period features. The house has been refurbished in such a way the character features pop alongside the modern aspects of the house. A great example of this is the cast iron fireplace in the lounge which blends with a contemporary colour palette in the room (both décor and furnishings)

2. Some cleaver tech in the house – The lamps connect to the wall switches around the room (you can connect any lamp to a light switch on the wall)

3. The flooring is Karndean – This is a high quality, luxury vinyl flooring in wood effect. This type of flooring is commonly used in high specification developments for several of its qualities. Here is a quote from the website to provide more detail:

“Our flooring can cope with the daily demands of family and busy lifestyles. Stain resistant and easy to clean, Karndean floors can handle water spillages without warping, and a dropped mug or plate without chipping or cracking. Unlike carpets, our floors don't harbor dirt, dust mites or bacteria. Designed to last for many years, each floor carries a lifetime residential guarantee. Should any tile or wood plank be damaged, a spare can be fitted quickly by your installer. This is far more cost effective than damage to a portion of carpet or laminate, when the whole floor often has to be replaced.”


4. The kitchen is German designed (Hacker Classic) and has piped underfloor heating. The worktops, sink and splash back are made from one piece of sleek stainless steel making the lines of the kitchen seamless. They 70mm deep with 4 workstations at approx. 90mm wide. It also features a stunning ‘5 burner’ modular induction hob

5. The bathroom has a designer stone bath, Italian designer fixtures, oversized shower, integrated fitted oak drawers with a full width fitted mirror with demister pad

6. We ask buyers to note the vintage style metal radiators. Unlike many radiators which are normally unattractive and functional items only, these are stylish and attractive to look at

7. As the windows are easterly and westerly facing the sun enters the house through the day. As you will note the windows in many of the rooms are a great size especially the bay windows. What is particularly nice is the kitchen area features glazed patio doors as well as two side windows allowing light to flood this space

8. A hidden feature is the cables to the TV and speakers which are within the walls to avoid unsightly wires being on display

9. The loft room still has the ever-popular eaves storage and the ensuite has natural light and ventilation by way of roof light

10. You will note that the garden is south westerly facing allowing the owners enjoy the sun through the day

11. There is also a secure metal bike store in the garden, which can be dismantled and reassembles I the generous front garden should the new owner prefer
