THE PROPERTY Over the past few years the renovation has taken the property back to the internal brickwork enabling a full scale design led restoration combining original character with metropolitan flair associated with todays lifestyle. Renovated by its current owner features include 3 fire places, walk in larder with stone slab, Bakelite door handles, terracotta windowsill tiles, original 1940's cast iron bath, exposed brick work and lintels, polished original timber floor boards in the first floor bedrooms. These sit comfortably alongside contemporary styling and modern features , most notably the beautifully fitted kitchen with larder and breakfast bar / work space complete with integrated USB charging sockets. The lounge dining room is a particularly calm and inviting space, enjoying a triple aspect, whilst the second lounge has a dual aspect and attractive stone feature fireplace with walk through to the stylish kitchen at the rear. Each room within the property has individual features reflecting the attention to detail throughout the renovation. Chic paintwork complements the continuity & flow of design throughout the property's flexible space which is enabled by technology including superfast broadband, Hive, USB charging. Compliance includes Electrical EICR and Gas safety certification including smoke and heat alarms.

A cottage style front garden enhances the eye catching kerb appeal of the property. Car parking is available on the drive and storage for cycles in the store rooms attached to the house. The rear back garden includes sunny lawn space ideal for outside dining. The property benefits from beautiful views including the race course and countryside landscape to the rear. Clever architectural design embracing the east-west orientation provides a flow of natural light into the property throughout the day. Significant advantage of no onward chain.
