About
Beautifully presented throughout, this charming three-bedroom period terraced home has been thoughtfully upgraded over time by the current owners and offers a wonderful blend of traditional character and contemporary style.
Finished with quality fixtures and fittings, stylish decor and a highly practical layout, the property is ideally suited to modern living while retaining many of its original features.
The accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hallway and an elegant sitting room centred around a Viking wood-burning stove with an original mantlepiece and a granite surround and hearth, creating a wonderful focal point.
Bifolding doors open into a generous dining room, creating a fantastic entertaining space and allowing the rooms to be used either independently or as one large open-plan area.
The dining room leads through to the kitchen with a useful pantry providing additional storage, while a door from the kitchen gives direct access to the rear garden.
On the first floor there are two generous double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a modern family bathroom fitted with a shower over the bath.
