Affectionately named ‘Ockenden House’, this three double bedroom Victorian town house offers ample accommodation across four floors having been thoughtfully modernised throughout whilst retaining a wealth of character.

Upon entry, residents are greeted by the hallway with ample space for shoes and coats. Heading left, the through kitchen / dining room creates an inviting space to dine as a family or entertain guests with triple-aspect views allowing natural light to flow through. The dining area centres around an ornate cast-iron fireplace providing an attractive focal point for the room whilst additional features include a bay-window to front, decorative cornicing, wainscoting with dado rails and stripped back / varnished wooden flooring throughout.

The kitchen itself has been completely redesigned offering bespoke handmade units, an alcove accommodating a range cooker with a characterful tiled surround plus an extractor fan above, ample timber worksurfaces with a unique copper upstand and space for white goods.

Heading up, the half-landing provides a handy storage cupboard - previously an additional w/c with plumbing still in place to allow easy reinstating if required. The bright dual-aspect living room can be found to the front of the first floor offering a glimpse of the sea, a full-width bookshelf with cabinetry and decorative ceiling centrepiece along with a continuation of features such as the intricate cornicing, feature fireplace, stripped wooden flooring and bay window.

Adjacent, the family bathroom offers a ‘spa like’ retreat with highlights including the freestanding roll top bath and separate walk-in show.

The second floor accommodates two generously proportioned double bedrooms each benefitting from sea views whilst the principal bedroom also benefits from its own feature fireplace. The loft space above has been insulated and boarded adding further storage whilst easily accessed via a drop down ladder.

The lower ground floor has been thoughtfully reconfigured to provide a well-proportioned double bedroom accompanied by a partially-tiled shower room featuring a walk-in rainfall shower plus a separate utility room.

Externally, the rear garden has been landscaped to provide a low-maintenance and incredibly private area to enjoy - primarily laid to patio whilst hosting a variety of mature shrubs, trees and bushes adding a splash of colour. Convenient side access into the workshop, which has lighting, power and insulation in-situ, at the rear of the garage can also be found in the garden.

To the front, there is off road parking for two vehicles as well as access into the garage whilst the home itself offers significant kerb appeal with its bay-fronted design, imposing stature, period style metal railings and Victorian design tiles lining the porch.

The home further benefits from less visible upgrades such as a partial rewire, modern consumer unit and double-glazing throughout most of the property.

A true blend of Victorian charm and modern convenience - one not to be missed!
