INSIDE

The raised ground floor establishes the tone immediately, with a wonderfully proportioned double reception room stretching the depth of the house. High ceilings, working shutters and original Victorian detailing provide character and warmth, while the generous dimensions allow for a variety of seating and entertaining arrangements.

A guest bedroom with en-suite shower room occupies the half landing, offering excellent flexibility for visiting family, older children or those seeking a degree of separation from the principal sleeping accommodation.

The lower ground floor has been carefully configured to create a series of interconnected living spaces. A utility area and extensive storage sit alongside a further reception room, ideal as a family room, media room or informal snug. Beyond, the recently refurbished kitchen is finished in a sleek contemporary style, centred around striking marble worktops and generous preparation space. The adjoining dining room enjoys lovely views across the garden and opens directly outside through concertina doors, creating a seamless connection between inside and out during the warmer months.

On a split level between the ground and first floors is a further double bedroom, currently arranged as a study and additional reception space, complete with its own en-suite shower room. This flexibility of use is a defining feature of the house, allowing rooms to adapt as requirements change over time.

The upper floor provides two further double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom, completing the accommodation. In total, the house offers four double bedrooms, three bathrooms and multiple reception spaces, all arranged with a natural flow and an excellent balance between formal and informal living.

OUTSIDE

Outside, the mature rear garden provides a peaceful backdrop to the house, framed by established planting and offering plenty of space for outdoor dining, entertaining and family life. T he rarity of off-street parking further enhances the practicality of this exceptional De Beauvoir home.
