Tucked away but convenient for all local amenities, this home with an east/west orientation has roared back to life under an expert eye which blends the best of contemporary design with period charm. Spanning two bright storeys the hallway is well decorated with spot lit ceilings and bespoke storage to introduce you to the skilled balance of style and practical living throughout this spacious home.

The ground floor has been opened up to create a stunning living/dining room, full of light with carefully reconditioned windows. Beautiful features include classic oak flooring and vertically panelled walls to emphasise the ceilings height, and a period fireplace has streamlined storage to each side for a subtle, contemporary twist. There is an open flow to the kitchen and dining area where handmade units are topped by Arebescato marble surfaces and high spec appliances are integrated for you with ambient lighting.

Central to this home, the exceptional attention to detail continues in a spa like shower room with high end fittings, where you can relax and refresh in total seclusion beneath a skylight.

Light and airy at the back of the building, the first of the double bedrooms is not directly overlooked and unique bunks provide both comfort and privacy. Stretching across the whole of the front of this substantial Victorian property and decorated with Farrow & Ball, the principle bedroom is all you could dream of with a large window rising to the ceiling, a handsome iron fireplace and shelving to maximise storage.

This two bed house would make a perfect first buy, second home in the city, or a great investment purchase with potential to use as a holiday let or Air BnB.
