About
Substantial five-bedroom detached house offering almost 2,700 sq ft of internal accommodation, including three reception rooms and three bath/shower rooms. No forward chain.
An impressive, detached character home, believed to date from the 1910s, occupying a mature plot within the highly sought-after Talbot Woods Conservation Area.
Offering almost 2,700 sq ft of well-proportioned accommodation, the property combines the space and character of an established period home with refurbished interiors, including a brand-new kitchen and newly fitted principal en-suite bathroom.
A welcoming entrance hall immediately gives a sense of the scale and character of the house, with high ceilings and attractive period detailing which continue throughout.
The ground floor provides three generous reception rooms, offering excellent flexibility for family life.
The newly fitted kitchen has been finished in a contemporary style with an extensive range of cabinetry and benefits from direct access onto the rear garden.
A separate utility room and two ground-floor cloakrooms complete the accommodation on this level.
Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to five bedrooms, with the principal bedroom featuring a dressing room and newly fitted en-suite bathroom, while the second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite shower room.
Three further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, creating an excellent arrangement for families and visiting guests.
Outside, the property is approached via an in-and-out driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles, with mature planting enhancing the established character of the setting.
The gardens extend predominantly to the rear, with side access down both sides of the house, providing practicality for everyday life and entertaining alike.
A detached garage provides further parking and storage, while offering potential for conversion into a number of alternative uses, subject, of course, to any necessary consents.
