A handsome detached Victorian home, thoughtfully refurbished to bring together generous, flexible living space and a wealth of period character.

The original front door opens into a tiled porch and welcoming hallway, where stained glass lends colour and light. A cosy front snug features a multi-fuel stove and stripped wood flooring.

Across the hall, two reception rooms have been opened into an impressive double reception space, with a stove at one end and plenty of room for both relaxing and entertaining.

Upstairs, the landing is brightened by a striking stained glass window on the half-landing. The principal bedroom has stripped wood flooring and an en-suite shower room.

Three further double bedrooms and a single bedroom—ideal as a nursery or study—provide flexible accommodation.

The family bathroom is a standout feature, with an original ball-and-claw-foot roll-top bath, walk-in shower with rainfall head and traditional detailing. A separate WC completes the first floor.
