About this home
Property Description: Guide Price £450,000 - £475,000. This beautifully presented Victorian townhouse is set over four floors with original features throughout including high ceilings, fireplaces and sash windows combining period charm with modern comforts.
The spacious and light-filled living room has a bay window, original exposed floorboards and a fireplace, creating the perfect space for relaxing with family or entertaining guests. The ground floor also has a cloakroom and a bedroom that could be used as a study, depending on your families needs.
The kitchen/breakfast room is on the lower ground floor and is a delightful space to prepare meals, with a range cooker, ample storage and room for free standing appliances and a breakfast table. There is also a separate utility room. Adjacent to the kitchen, a large dining/family room provides versatility and plenty of space for social gatherings and family dinners.
There are three further well appointed bedrooms. On the first floor there is a double and a single bedroom, both with modern en-suite shower rooms. The principal bedroom is on the top floor and has a walk in dressing room and en-suite bathroom complete with a luxurious freestanding bath and a separate shower.
Outside: The generous rear garden has a large lawn for children to play and a patio area, ideal for enjoying the sunshine or indulging in al-fresco dining. Previous planning permission for a single storey rear extension lapsed in August 2024, but has the potential to be re-instated, creating exciting potential for further development.
