Renovated character-filled accommodation

This pretty terrace house is adorned with hung clay tiles, leaded windows and a gothic-style porch; all beautiful original features that give this property a huge amount of kerb appeal. The house is set back from the quiet road, with a dwarf brick wall to the front and gravel driveway providing parking for two vehicles. A lawn and well-tended borders fi led with lavender and flowering plants provide the perfect cottage setting. Entering through an original solid wood brace and latch door, the hallway gives a striking first impression with full height tongue and grove panelling in Farrow & Bal colour Hague Blue providing ample boot and coat storage in a boot-room style setting. A guest WC sits just off the hallway, as does a thoughtfully designed utility/laundry room with Belfast sink, oak worktops, ta l larder cupboard and space for laundry appliances. The hallway invites you through to the heart of the home, a light and spacious kitchen diner with French doors opening out onto the rear patio. Cream quartz worktops sit atop bespoke shaker-style solid wood kitchen cabinetry in heritage Farrow & Bal colour Blue Grey . The double Belfast sink is positioned to overlook the rear patio through the large kitchen window, with south facing views across the well-kept garden to open countryside beyond. Quality finishes continue throughout, including a Perrin & Rowe bridge kitchen tap finished in aged brass, a cream electric range Everhot cooker with triple induction hob and an integrated Miele dishwasher. The concealed pantry and matching built-in dresser unit in the dining area also demonstrate the care and attention that has gone into the design and layout of this lovely home. The sitting room overlooks the front garden and offers a cosy ambience with an open fireplace set in an exposed brick chimney breast, complete with a cast iron grate and oak mantle. Bespoke storage cupboards and shelving add functionality to the alcove. Upstairs, the master bedroom includes a Victorian cast iron fireplace and built-in wardrobes. There are two additional well-proportioned double bedrooms, one with far-reaching views over the rear garden and rolling countryside beyond. A luxurious family bathroom completes the accommodation, featuring a freestanding bath, double walk-in shower, vanity sink unit, and traditional-style towel rail. The French doors in the kitchen diner lead out to a generous paved terrace ideal for entertaining, and two brick-built outbuildings one with power and lighting, which is currently used as a gym but also benefits from fitted kitchen units and shelving providing very useful additional storage space. The second outbuilding is currently used as a garden shed. The garden beyond stretches away from the property and looks out onto open countryside, providing tranquil views and a real sense of space. It features mature planted borders, a raised vegetable garden at the rear and an astro-turfed area providing an ideal play area for small children. Access to the rear garden is shared via a driveway, which includes a pedestrian right of way over the garden for No. 30 for their bin access. Although the cost of maintaining this shared space is expected to be split, the current owners have never been asked to contribute.

A two-storey rear extension was added to create the south facing open-plan living space downstairs and a third bedroom upstairs.With original materials re-purposed (including hand cutting all the scalloped and arrow-headed hung tiles on the rear elevation), old and new have been blended seamlessly.
