NO UPWARD CHAIN A characterful Edwardian house offering well-proportioned accommodation together with a substantial and thoughtfully designed rear extension. The property retains a number of original features, including high ceilings, sash windows, original stained-glass entrance door, wooden flooring and an open fireplace. To the rear, the extension has created a generous open-plan kitchen/breakfast room with direct access to the south-facing gardens.

The house provides a versatile combination of reception and family living spaces, with the lounge and dining room leading through to the kitchen/breakfast room and gardens beyond.

The accommodation comprises: Entrance Hall, open-plan sitting and dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, cloakroom and family room/home office on the ground floor. The first floor provides four bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with walk-in bay window, dressing area and four-piece en suite bathroom, together with a family bathroom.

The south-facing gardens extend to approximately 120 feet and have been landscaped to provide a number of areas for dining, entertaining and relaxation. Immediately to the rear of the house is a substantial raised decking area with seating and dining areas, barbecue space and a dedicated hot tub area. Beyond this, the garden continues with lawns, mature planting, mature apple trees and raised flower beds, leading to a substantial garden room extending across the full width of the garden. Currently used as a large entertaining space and lounge/TV area, the building would also lend itself well to use as a home gym, office or studio.
