The Indoors

The front door is painted in Farrow and Ball and opens into the entrance hall, here we have a clever combination of the original period wallpaper and Farrow and Ball paint, with the restored original Oak floorboards underfoot. On the right is the main reception room which also has the original/restored Oak floorboards and a large bay window to the front, a fully functional period fireplace with marble surround, the cornicing in this room is exquisite and complimented by the original ceiling rose. The main reception room opens into the dining room which has another original period fireplace with marble surround, Oak floorboards and original doors that open into a gloriously bright reading room.

As you descend down into the Kitchen diner there is access to the basement on your left, ideal for extra storage and offering potential to excavate and add more living space (subject to the usual planning consents) The kitchen is well stocked with cabinets, work surfaces and a gas hob and oven. There is plenty of room for a dining table and this room has a real sense of family living about it. The door to the rear garden is on the right and here there is further scope here to extend the kitchen out to the side with a glass roof (subject to planning)

Ascending the original staircase and banisters up onto the first floor, we find the master bedroom. A fantastically bright room thanks to two South facing windows, this room is the full width of the house and has original Oak floorboards, a feature fireplace and shutters that were installed in 2020, the wallpaper is from House of Hackney. Next to the master is the second bedroom, a great sized double bedroom with another feature fireplace and original Oak floorboards. The family bathroom is also on this floor, it has a separate shower and bath and Moroccan ceramic tiles underfoot. The third bedroom to the rear of the house is a good sized double, it has more of the original Oak floorboards and it makes a perfect study. Up on the second floor we find the fourth double bedroom which has a large bespoke fitted wardrobe. Just outside this room is a separate W.C.

The Outdoors
