“A gracious Victorian Villa dating back to the late 19th Century. The owners of the property have sensitively restored it to preserve its original features and grandeur, whilst introducing modern touches that make it a wonderful family home.”
A well laid out house, with the ground floor providing all of the living areas, the first floor the bedroom accommodation. The third floor is currently utilised as ancillary accommodation for family.
An impressive front door leads to the entrance hall that has been extended by the current owners to create a much larger space to welcome people in and store essentials, such as coats and shoes.
On entering the house, you will be immediately awed by the soaring ceilings and moulded decorations Under foot there are beautifully renovated wooden floors that create warmth
There is a formal grand reception room to the front of the house, the impressive volume of this room is accentuated by the bay of expansive sash windows allowing light to flood in from the south. The central feature is the open fireplace with its marble shelf and surround.
To compliment this room, you have a cosy snug with a multi fuel stove creating a more informal space to relax in
To finish off you have a study/music room which also benefits from the south facing front aspect, a luxury indeed to have a third reception room!
The kitchen sits at the back of the house and has been extended and fully renovated to a high standard to create a perfect family dining and kitchen room, so desired for modern living The extension has been meticulously planned and executed to enhance the existing room with beautiful oak beams highlighting the curve in the ceiling. A gas range cooker with 5 rings and two ovens and well-chosen kitchen ware elevates the room
