Entrance – A striking family home with period charm

The home has a characterful façade, with painted ashlar dressings and a Corinthian columned front door. Stepping inside, you are greeted by a south-facing entrance porch, which is laid with period tiles creating an enchanting first impression. This gives way to a central hall with a walk-in store. A lower ground-floor hall also provides two additional stores and a built-in cupboard.

Reception rooms – Three elegant reception areas

Elegant and inviting, the living room captures attention with its subtle olive tones paired with white detailing and an oak herringbone floor – a sophisticated aesthetic that amplifies a relaxed ambience. Here, a bay window ensures a flood of natural light, whilst highly intricate cornice work extenuates the lofty ceiling and generous proportions. A beautiful fireplace, inset with a log-burning stove, adds the final touch and the perfect focal point for cosy evenings in. Meanwhile, a neighbouring dual-aspect sunroom provides a delightfully sunny space for relaxation, complete with lovely views over Magdalen Green. In addition, there is a spacious sitting room on the lower ground floor as well. It has attractive décor and a tasteful accent wall, and boasts a log-burning stove and glazed doors extending out into the main garden.

Kitchen – A stylish kitchen with an open-plan dining room

The breakfasting kitchen/dining room is accessed from the hall or via bi-folding doors from the living room, which allows the two spaces to be united for entertaining family and friends. It has a generous footprint to accommodate a large table and it is brightly illuminated by a bay window. Furthermore, the space is enhanced by oak herringbone flooring and chic tartan wallpaper set against a neutral backdrop – a stylish look that complements the highly decorative ceiling frieze and cornice work. The kitchen itself is appointed with white modern cabinets, including a central island with a breakfast bar and chunky wooden worktop. It also benefits from solid granite worksurfaces and a range of appliances (Belfast sink, gas range cooker, integrated dishwasher, and space for a American-style freestanding fridge/freezer). On the lower ground floor, there is also a separate laundry room, just off the sixth bedroom/study, and there is a utility room as well, off a porch with outdoor access.

Bedrooms – Six large bedrooms with desirable features

Located throughout the home on different levels, the six bedrooms are all spacious doubles that continue the impeccable standards, each enjoying a sharp eye for detail and modern styling, including a mix of carpeted and hardwood floors. On the first floor, there is the large second bedroom, which has generous built-in wardrobe storage and a fitted walk-in wardrobe, and the third bedroom. The dual-aspect fourth bedroom is at ground level, featuring unique period architecture and fitted shelving, whilst the bay-windowed fifth bedroom (with wall-to-wall mirrored wardrobes) is on the lower ground floor, along with the sixth bedroom that is currently organised as a private study and office.

The dual-aspect principal suite is on the first floor, boasting expansive proportions and a luxurious en-suite bathroom, which opens out onto a private balcony.

Bathrooms – Four bathrooms for convenience

The property has four quality bathrooms. On the lower ground floor, there is a fully-tiled three-piece shower room, whilst at the ground level there is a stylish three-piece wet room with an overhead rainfall shower. On the first floor, there is also a modern three-piece family bathroom, with an overhead shower, and the principal bedroom’s en-suite bathroom. The en-suite is particularly impressive, with its traditional-inspired aesthetic and four-piece suite, incorporating a classic high-level toilet, a pedestal washbasin, a freestanding roll-top bath, and a step-in shower enclosure.

The property has gas central heating for year-round comfort, alongside traditional windows for an abundance of natural light. The lower ground floor also benefits from partial double glazing.

Garden & Parking - Neatly kept gardens and private parking

Externally, the home has a low-maintenance front garden and a monoblock driveway for off-street parking. In addition, it has a beautiful side garden that is fully enclosed and neatly landscaped, incorporating an artificial lawn and a raised patio area for alfresco dining. Framed by mature planting, it offers excellent privacy and captures lots of daily sun.

Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, integrated dishwasher, and a gas range cooker to be included in the sale.
