Description
Constructed circa 1900, this exceptional Victorian semi-detached residence presents an elegant blend of timeless period charm and carefully considered modern design. Arranged over three generous floors, the property offers beautifully balanced accommodation including an impressive open plan living dining kitchen, two reception rooms, five well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms. Retaining an abundance of original features such as fireplaces, high ceilings and decorative coving, the home has been thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners during their 20-year tenure. Improvements include a substantial rear extension completed in 2009, creating a superb open plan living environment alongside the addition of a utility room and cloakroom, a stylish refurbishment of the primary bathroom, and professionally landscaped rear gardens.Ideally positioned just a short stroll from the heart of the village, with its array of independent shops, cafés and public houses, the property further benefits from a block paved driveway providing off-street parking.

Ground Floor
The front door opens into a striking reception hall, immediately setting the tone with its grand staircase rising to the first floor and distinctive Fired Earth tiled flooring underfoot. A useful cellar is accessed via a door beneath the stairs, offering practical storage space complete with lighting and electricity.

To the front of the property, the principal reception room is beautifully appointed, centred around a traditional fireplace with gas fire, complemented by deep skirting boards and a charming bay window overlooking the front garden. Mature boundary planting ensures a high degree of privacy while allowing for excellent natural light.

Positioned to the rear is the outstanding open plan living dining kitchen, extended to create a truly impressive and sociable space. The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of contemporary grey shaker-style cabinetry beneath polished concrete worktops, complemented by a feature tiled splashback. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and a Smeg range oven with six-ring gas hob and extractor above, alongside a stainless steel one-and-a-half bowl sink. A generous pantry cupboard and space for a freestanding fridge freezer enhance practicality, while a breakfast bar with contrasting white Corian worktop incorporates a slimline wine fridge and seating for two.

The dining and sitting areas extend seamlessly from the kitchen, enjoying an abundance of natural light through large sliding glass doors that frame views across the rear garden. These doors open directly onto a decked terrace, ideal for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. Architectural interest is added by an exposed brick feature wall and a pitched roof with Velux windows, enhancing both height and light within the space.

Accessed from the kitchen, the utility room is well-fitted with a range of units, a large sink with drainer, and space for laundry appliances. An external door provides convenient side access. A further door leads to the cloakroom, fitted with a wash hand basin and WC.

Double doors from the sitting area connect to a refined formal dining room, currently utilised as a study. This elegant space features a traditional stone fireplace with gas fire, a fitted cupboard with shelving, and wood flooring, offering both character and versatility.

First Floor
Stairs rise from the entrance hall to a spacious first floor landing, which provides access to two double bedrooms and the primary bathroom, before continuing to the second floor. A walk-in cupboard houses the boiler and offers excellent additional storage.

Both bedrooms on this level are generously proportioned doubles, with the principal bedroom positioned at the rear and enhanced by a decorative cast iron fireplace.

The family bathroom has been stylishly renovated in 2017 to create a luxurious and contemporary space. It features electric underfloor heating, matt black fittings, and an oversized Lusso stone freestanding bath with handheld shower.

A particularly large walk-in shower is finished with striking hexagonal tiling and includes both rainfall and handheld shower fittings. A substantial vanity unit provides excellent storage alongside a wash hand basin and WC.

Second Floor
The second floor continues to impress with three further well-proportioned double bedrooms, two of which retain attractive period fireplaces, adding to the home’s character and charm.

A second bathroom serves this level and is fitted with a bathtub with handheld shower attachment, wash hand basin and WC, providing convenience for family living or guests.

Grounds & Gardens
To the front, the property is enclosed by a low boundary wall with wrought iron railings, behind which lies a neatly maintained lawn. A block paved driveway provides off-road parking for one vehicle.

Side access is available via a wrought iron gate, leading to the utility room entrance and continuing through to the rear garden.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of attractive and functional outdoor spaces. Immediately to the rear of the house is a decked seating area, ideal for entertaining. Beyond lies a lawn, while a second patio area positioned in the far corner offers an alternative seating or dining space, enclosed by white rendered walls. The garden is bordered by a combination of fencing and walling, with established planting along the right-hand boundary adding maturity and privacy.
