PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
With a total area of 2,756 sq ft, this substantial property is set over three floors including a very well-designed and executed loft conversion.

The living room, formerly two rooms, is almost 40ft long and has excellent natural light thanks to a bay window at the front and French doors at the rear. It is carpeted throughout and divides naturally into a front lounge and a rear dining area. The latter has bespoke fitted alcove shelves and cupboards and easy access to the garden terrace through the French doors. The adjacent kitchen/diner is well-equipped with fitted cabinets and has an island unit, and there’s also space for a dining table. A window above the sink and glazed door provide garden views and access, whilst a further window on the flank wall adds extra light.

With a total area of 988 sq ft, the first floor easily accommodates four double bedrooms - two of which are very spacious and have en suite bathrooms - and a third independent bathroom, all set around a large landing. The main bedroom at the front of the house has a bay window with space for a sofa, a fireplace with an ornate tiled surround, and an original built-in cupboard.
