The Indoors

The reeded glass paneled front door is painted in Farrow and ball 'Crimson Red' from the archive collection. The welcoming hallway has restored original floorboards and leads into the double sitting room. Tastefully chosen Masquerade mid and Julie s Dream ' Little Greene paint create a sense of home that is complimented by the cornicing, ceiling rose, restored original floorboards and original fireplace with original marble surround. This is an incredibly bright and sunny room with dual aspect windows; at the rear, the window frames green views over the garden and to the front you have a large bay window overlooking the street. In these rooms (and throughout the majority of the house) the radiators have been replaced with traditional style radiators in keeping with the period of the property.

As you descend a few steps into the Kitchen/Diner your eyes are drawn immediately to the large floor to ceiling doors that open out onto the garden and sash windows to the side. The Farrow and Ball Pink Ground paint adds to the homely feel and the engineered Oak floorboards have been carefully laid under foot. A Stoves dual fuel range cooker is surrounded by ample cupboard space and work surfaces. The basement is accessed from the kitchen and provides extra storage.
