House For Sale £190,000
Description
The story begins somewhere around 1905 when a widow and her family decided to settle in Oakhill. A Fradley was a grocer and baker, sharing 2 Hoots with her two sons. Hers was a thriving bakery and a typically Edwardian picture survives of her proudly standing before her premises with her boys. She enjoyed great commercial success and was eventually able to build two houses next to the property for her beloved sons, which are now 2a and 2b. As such, what used to be a large, detached bakery and family home is now a double fronted end of terrace.
There is an effortless style and a calm ambience throughout the home, making this the perfect place for a family looking to enjoy the friendly suburban surroundings but also be close to the city amenities. Each room has an individual vibe. The flooring is extremely elegant, with original Minton tiles in the entrance hallway and original quarry tiles in the kitchen. With flowing spaces and an abundance of natural light, the interior encourages entertaining and being together. Yet there are also many intimate pockets of space for quiet contemplation, work or yoga, such as the summer house at the edge of the garden. The kitchen is spacious, with plenty of room to put the Gordan Ramsey cookery books and the partially annexed utility room creates a handy place to put all your herbs and spices. The wealth of space in this home is truly exceptional with three reception rooms, kitchen, utility and bathroom on the ground floor being unique in itself.
Upstairs, the hallway is decidedly impressive. The family bathroom has a walk-in shower, a large pedestal bath and is fully tiled in contemporary style with a mosaic border. This is the perfect place to soak away the evening after a hard day! Each of the three bedrooms is spacious, with one having an inset, walk-in wardrobe. The loft is easily accessible with ladders and is part boarded.
The south-facing garden is green and colourful all year round, and it makes a peaceful spot throughout the day. The summer house occupies the spot of the old granary and is the ideal space to listen to morning birdsong and daydream in the afternoon sun.
To top it all off, this home comes with solar panels, which gives you back roughly £900 a year (that's a free holiday)! There is also a cellar which is split into two separate storage spaces. This house offers endless possibilities for those planning on growing their family. The front reception room for instance could easily be transformed into a bedroom, or hobby/music room. To put it into context this home covers 2,000 sq ft which is approximately the size of 3 x 2 bed terrace houses, making it more than ample for a family. Welcome home.
