Stunning Edwardian home with period features and charming garden studio
Description
This impressive three storey Edwardian property, constructed in 1910, boasts a striking double stone bay at the front and sits beneath a tiled roof. The property is filled with a plethora of charming period features, including stunning stripped wood floors throughout part of the ground floor, fireplaces, corbels, cornicing, deep skirting, and picture rails. The front of the property features a York stone driveway, providing ample parking space for two cars.
The entrance to the house is accessed via a stone path leading to a beautifully panelled front door, adorned with a delightful leaded stain glass fanlight above. The door opens up to a vestibule area that leads into the hallway beyond. On the left-hand side is a spacious drawing room, which features a west-facing bay window and coal effect gas fire with a stripped pine mantelpiece adorned with Edwardian-style carvings. Beyond the drawing room lies another reception room, which could easily be utilized as a home office and has equally pretty mantlepiece. Located at the rear of the property is a generously sized kitchen breakfast room that offers side access and bi-folding glazed doors that lead out to the garden. This well-appointed kitchen features a wide array of shaker-style floor and wall mounted units, with wooden worksurfaces, an integrated oven, a four-ring gas hob, and a large fridge/freezer. A utility room complete with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, a large storage cupboard and a separate WC, complete the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs, the property comprises five bedrooms, one of which is a single bedroom that could easily double as a home office or a bathroom with the appropriate approvals in place. Of particular note is the principal bedroom, situated on the second floor, which boasts surprisingly good ceiling height, excellent views over the rear gardens, and an en suite bathroom equipped with a shower over the bath.
To the rear of the property, there is a large decked terrace that leads out from the kitchen, and steps lead down the side of the house to a lawn area with artificial grass. There are flower beds on either side of the lawn, stocked with beautiful perennial shrubs and flowering plants. The lawn leads down past two good-sized sheds, and there is further outdoor space beyond, culminating in a brick-built studio. This useful outbuilding is complete with power and light, making it perfect for a variety of purposes, such as a home office, gym, or most recently, a studio.
