About
An exciting opportunity to acquire this beautifully presented four bedroom, two bathroom 1930s detached family home, combining elegant period character with carefully considered contemporary upgrades.
The current sellers have continued to enhance the property, creating a stylish and well-balanced home ideally suited to modern family living, all offered to the market with the added benefit of a limited chain.
The traditional façade, driveway and garage immediately reflect the era and stature of the property, whilst inside the attention to detail is evident from the moment you step into the welcoming entrance hall, finished with striking monochrome tiled flooring and a wonderful sense of light and space.
To the front, a bay fronted reception room is currently arranged as a formal dining space, complete with stripped timber flooring, decorative coving, bespoke alcove shelving and a feature fireplace, all of which retain the charm expected of a 1930s home.
To the rear, the principal living room enjoys a seamless connection to the garden via glazed doors, allowing natural light to flood the space.
Beautiful parquet flooring and a log-burning stove set against metro-tiled detailing create a cosy yet refined focal point.
The kitchen overlooks the rear garden and has been fitted with bespoke shaker-style cabinetry, solid wooden work surfaces and a range-style cooker, complemented by a Belfast sink and excellent storage.
The layout offers both practicality and character, with access through to the garage and additional outbuildings beyond.
A significant addition by the current sellers is the newly installed ground floor shower room, finished in a sleek and contemporary style with large-format tiling, walk-in rainfall shower, vanity storage and WC.
This thoughtfully designed space adds both flexibility and convenience.
To the first floor, a spacious landing leads to four bedrooms, comprising three generous double rooms and a well-proportioned single, ideal as a nursery, dressing room or home office.
The bedrooms have been further enhanced with brand new carpets throughout, fitted with the thickest underlay for exceptional comfort underfoot, whilst period fireplaces and tasteful décor continue the home’s cohesive design.
The principal family bathroom is a true statement space, featuring a striking clawfoot freestanding bath, oversized walk-in shower with rainfall fittings, stylish herringbone tiling and quality sanitaryware, creating a luxurious yet timeless finish that perfectly complements the age of the property.
Externally, the home is set back behind low-level fencing with a paved driveway providing valuable off-road parking and leading to the garage, a highly sought-after feature for properties of this period.
The south west facing garden is predominantly laid to lawn, offering excellent space for entertaining and family enjoyment, with established borders and mature planting providing privacy.
Of further interest, the property previously benefited from planning permission for a substantial 7.9 metre rear extension, presenting exciting scope for future enlargement (subject to reapplication and necessary consents).
