Description
5 Herbert Street is a well-proportioned townhouse with a single bay constructed of brick elevations with tall sash windows beneath a tiled roof.
The house has four double bedrooms and extends to approximately 1,537 sq ft with accommodation laid out over three floors. This well presented property retains many original features including stripped pine panelled doors, moulded ceiling cornicing and fireplaces.
The hallway leads into a double reception room on the left which has a tall, wide bay sash window to the front and a green stone Victorian fireplace.
There is access from the hall or the reception room into the kitchen – the latter through double doors with inlaid stain glass. The kitchen/breakfast room is an exceptional L-shaped space and is flooded with natural light. There are two areas which could accommodate a table but the most natural, as used by current owners, is beneath the skylight with the large picture window to one end. The kitchen itself is well-appointed with floor and wall mounted painted wood cabinetry and polished granite work surfaces. There is an integrated dishwasher, ample room for a fridge and a Smeg double oven with gas hob. To one side of the kitchen there are glazed double doors leading to the rear garden. A cloakroom beneath the stairs completes the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor there are three double bedrooms. The main bedroom to the front has a dressing room, which equally could be used as a home office or knock through to create a bigger room across the full width of the property. The bathroom has contemporary sanitary ware with a shower over the bath.
On the second floor there is a further double bedroom with double doors which lead out onto a balcony and an en suite shower room to the front. There are wonderful elevated leafy panoramic views from this bedroom over the neighbouring gardens and beyond.
The house is approached via a chequered pathway with evergreen hedge providing privacy. The rear garden faces due west, is fully enclosed and has been designed with low maintenance in mind. Raised wooden beds and patio paving provide ample space to eat out and entertain. The gardens are well planted with mature shrubs and also benefits from a good size shed. There is shared access with the neighbouring property to allow access for bikes and pedestrians.
Square Footage: 1538 sq ft
