SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES This elegant Victorian home oozes period charm whilst delivering a family friendly contemporary style of living.
It sits in the popular St John's area and is a short walk from local shops, sought after schools, the recreational ground and excellent transport links.
Arranged over three floors and set back from the road by a low wall, this home's painted exterior and double bay windows provide plenty of kerb appeal.
Stepping inside, it is immediately apparent that the owners have beautifully blended modern finishes with traditional features to create a flawlessly finished house.
First on the left, is the elegant living room which is flooded with light from its handsome bay window. It is an exceptionally welcoming space with stylish décor, wooden flooring, bespoke cabinetry, and a wood burning stove that is framed by a beautiful Victorian marble mantle.
Behind is the family/dining room which offers a sophisticated space to relax and dine in, with another wood burning stove to add character and warmth. Its open plan layout to the kitchen also makes it a social space for entertaining.
The kitchen is stylish and streamlined with timeless Shaker style cabinetry contrasting with Quartz work tops and warm wooden flooring. It is beautifully finished and fully equipped, as you would expect from a house of this quality, with integrated Neff and Bosh appliances. Glazed doors to the rear can lie open to extend the living space in the summer months and they provide access to the lean-to conservatory at the side, which has space and plumbing for appliances and room for additional storage.
Climbing the stairs to the first floor there are two immaculate bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate cloakroom.
The bathroom at the rear has a double ended bath and a separate shower cubicle. Its rear aspect window reflects light off its white fittings and contemporary tiles for a soothing bathing experience.
The principal bedroom to the front extends the width of the house and its generous proportions, fitted alcove cabinetry, and deep bay window make it a restful retreat.
Up a further flight of stairs to the second floor there are two good sized double bedrooms with roof top views and fitted storage. A shower room completes the floor.
Outside the west facing garden is wonderfully low maintenance with Travertine tiling. It is fully enclosed, offering a safe sanctuary for children and pets, and has a leafy green backdrop. There is street access too.
This fabulous period home is a short walk from first class grammar schools and mainline stations making it perfect for families with professional needs. It also offers a luxury family lifestyle that you could move straight in and enjoy. A must see!
