This home is packed full of period features, including high ceilings and ornate fireplaces, adding to its unique charm.

There are two generous-sized reception rooms offering versatile living spaces. The impressive lounge is light-filled, with a bay window to the front, a feature ornamental cast iron fireplace with a mantle, and recessed arched alcoves all provide a focal point to the room. Decorative coving, a central light rose, and a wooden floor complete the Victorian touches. The separate dining room is perfect for family meals and entertaining, featuring a fitted floor-to-ceiling bookshelf and store cupboard. Glazed double doors open onto the sizeable courtyard garden, blending indoor and outdoor living seamlessly.

Moving to the first floor, the split-level spacious landing leads to two of the five bedrooms. The main bedroom suite exudes period charm with painted wooden floorboards, a bay window, and a coved ceiling. The en suite shower room is a modern yet sympathetically designed addition, providing excellent convenience. Another double bedroom on this floor features an ornamental original fireplace. The family bathroom is designed with a nod to the Victorian era and includes a centrally positioned rolled top bath, a toilet, hand basin, and a separate walk-in shower cubicle. Two large built-in cupboards offer abundant storage space.

Up to the second floor, there are three more spacious bedrooms, each with their own features and character.

Bedroom 4 features an original fireplace and stripped floorboards, while Bedroom 5 is a cosy and snug yet spacious room, perfect for various uses, perhaps as a home office, if required.

The L-shaped enclosed courtyard garden, accessible from both the dining room and the kitchen, is very private. It features flowerbed borders, a decked sitting area, and a store shed. This area provides ample room for outdoor furniture, making it ideal for al fresco meals, barbecues, and relaxing.
