The Tour

The property is entered via a traditional entrance hall which retains the proportions and character typical of the Victorian period. Beyond, the ground floor unfolds into a generous double reception room, arranged as two interconnected spaces and defined by high ceilings, a large bay window and a striking original feature fireplace that provides a strong architectural focal point. Both original fireplaces remain in working order, while the sequence of rooms creates a natural sense of flow through the house, offering flexibility for both formal entertaining and relaxed family living whilst preserving the elegance and scale associated with the period.

To the rear, the house transitions into a striking open-plan kitchen, dining and family space that forms the contemporary heart of the home. Extended and reconfigured to create a room of impressive volume and natural light, the space is illuminated by a series of rooflights and framed by wide bi-folding doors that open directly onto the garden. A substantial central island anchors the room, complemented by sleek contemporary cabinetry, integrated appliances and extensive storage. The scale of the space comfortably accommodates distinct zones for cooking, dining and informal living, while a separate utility room and bathroom provide practical support without compromising the clean architectural aesthetic.

The first floor comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms. Occupying the front of the house, the principal room enjoys the generous proportions associated with Victorian architecture, enhanced by a large bay window that fills the space with natural light and a feature fireplace. Two further bedrooms are arranged to the rear and centre of the plan, one benefiting from integrated storage. A spacious family bathroom completes the level.

The second floor has been thoughtfully converted to create two further bedrooms and an additional bathroom. The principal bedroom on this level is particularly impressive, set beneath a striking roof lantern that floods the space with natural light and creates a dramatic sense of volume. A further bedroom sits to the rear and benefits from useful eaves storage, while the bathroom incorporates both a freestanding bath and separate shower. The current owner also notes that the loft conversion provides exceptionally generous additional accommodation and believes it to be one of the larger examples on the road. Having been completed some years ago, it represents an increasingly valuable addition, as opportunities to create loft conversions of this scale are now considered more limited than they once were.

Throughout the house, a restrained palette of light finishes enhances the quality of natural light and emphasises the generous proportions of the accommodation. Original Victorian features sit comfortably alongside contemporary interventions, creating interiors that feel both refined and highly functional.

To the rear, the garden extends the living space outdoors, providing a private and enclosed setting framed by mature planting. The current owner particularly values the garden’s exceptional privacy, describing it as one of the most secluded on the road. Mature cherry and plum trees provide seasonal colour and homegrown fruit, while positioned at the far end of the plot, the detached garden studio offers valuable ancillary accommodation, ideally suited to use as a home office, creative studio, gym or peaceful garden den.

The property has also previously benefited from solar panels, offering future owners the opportunity to explore reinstatement should they wish.
