The Indoors

The ground floor opens into an inviting reception room, where a wide bay window fitted with plantation shutters draws in soft natural light. An ornate fireplace with a black cast-iron insert provides a focal point, complemented by decorative cornicing, warm oak flooring and tall contemporary radiators. Its north-facing position makes it a particularly comfortable retreat during warmer months.

An open connection leads through to the dining room, a well-proportioned space with room for a family dining table. Beyond, the house takes on a distinctly contemporary character.

The rear extension houses an impressive kitchen, designed around a substantial central island with crisp white cabinetry and pale worktops. Rich timber-fronted cupboards, dark tiled splashbacks and integrated appliances introduce contrast and texture. AEG induction cooking sits alongside Küppersbusch ovens, including a combination microwave, grill and oven, while a Bosch dishwasher and washer-dryer add everyday practicality.

Overhead glazing brings daylight deep into the room, while full-width bifold doors open directly onto the garden. With the doors folded back, the kitchen and terrace become one continuous space, particularly well suited to entertaining. Integrated blinds offer control over sunlight during the summer, and underfloor heating keeps the space comfortable in cooler months.

The first floor is home to a substantial double bedroom with a bay window, fitted wardrobes and a calm, neutral finish. Alongside sits the principal family bathroom, an unusually spacious room with a freestanding-style inset bath, separate walk-in shower, twin basins and warm stone-effect tiling. Underfloor heating adds a further touch of comfort.

The second floor accommodates two further bedrooms. The larger room enjoys a bay window and an entire wall of fitted wardrobes, while the adjoining bedroom provides flexibility for family, guests or additional workspace. Oak flooring and traditional sash windows continue through the upper levels, with elevated views across the surrounding Victorian rooftops.

The staircase itself offers one of the home's more unexpected features: a beautifully considered study nook, fitted with timber worktops, bookshelves and storage around a sash window. A lovely spot for working, reading or simply looking out over the neighbourhood.

On the third floor, the fourth bedroom is currently arranged as a dedicated home office. Rooflights fill the space with natural light, while extensive fitted storage makes good use of the eaves. A contemporary en-suite shower room with a glazed sliding door sits alongside. Underfloor heating serves both spaces, making this a comfortable and versatile upper-floor retreat.

Practical details have been carefully considered throughout, including substantial built-in storage, two small safes within the office, a Banham-connected alarm system and an installed sprinkler system. A combination of underfloor heating and radiators provides efficient, responsive warmth across the house.

The Outdoors

The private rear garden is a natural extension of the kitchen, designed for easy outdoor living. Large-format stone paving creates a practical terrace for dining and entertaining, while raised planting beds, established greenery and timber fencing bring privacy and texture.

Enjoying sunshine throughout the day, the garden offers a welcoming setting for long lunches, evening drinks and relaxed weekends at home. A built-in bench provides an inviting place to sit among the planting, with the wide kitchen doors keeping the two spaces closely connected.

To the front, a small garden adds another layer of greenery, including a potted wisteria ready to climb the Victorian brickwork with the right support.
