This spacious natural four-bedroom Victorian house has been extended into the loft to create a generous fifth double bedroom. It is bright and spacious and retains some very attractive and well-preserved original features including numerous fireplaces, ornate ceilings, doors, floors and windows, particularly in the elegant double reception which also has wooden floors. (*Please note – the house is let to sharers and this double room is currently and temporarily divided to create an extra bedroom – this will be reverted upon the end of the tenancy).

The kitchen/breakfast room is a good-size and very light thanks to two large side windows and rear doors which lead out to a sunny south-facing garden. There is scope to upgrade the kitchen and extend into the side return of the garden, to create a very large and bright kitchen/family room, (subject to consents), which could be designed to your own tastes and standards. Next door has already built their corresponding extension which make party-wall matters and the building job easierThe sunny, attractively-designed garden has a paved patio and lawn and good seclusion from the houses behind. There is also a good storage cellar.

Upstairs are five double bedrooms served by a bathroom and shower room (one on each floor). There is scope to add a further bathroom ensuite to the elegant master bedroom on the first floor, which has built-in wardrobes, a lovely fireplace and wooden floors. Alternatively, a bathroom could be added by extending the loft a little further to the rear. The house has been let for some years however it does have neutral décor and a beautiful unspoilt feel throughout. It is also offered with no forward chain.
