House For Sale £575,000
Full of character and charm, this eye-catching Edwardian home offers substantial and flexible accommodation arranged over three floors in a desirable village setting.
Lorna Villa has been designed in a typical architectural Edwardian style with an underlying theme of space and light, resulting in generously proportioned airy rooms with high ceilings and multiple large windows, creating a wonderful family home.
The property is externally instantly appealing with its distinct ornate bay and sash windows and steeply pitched gable end. It is entered via the elegantly carved stone porch and into a light hallway with a large window and decorative plaster work and cornicing.
The 29’2 x 11’8 dual aspect living room is an impressive space with a bay window featuring original floral coloured glass and attractive working fireplace to the front, and doors leading to the garden to the rear.
The dining room also featuring a fireplace and floor to ceiling cupboards provides a pleasant space for a dining table next to a large sash window. This leads to the kitchen and practical utility space beyond and has huge potential to be opened up to create an open-plan space. There is space to extend the rear beyond the living room to provide even more space.
The downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor.
A winding staircase takes you past a delightful multi-paned sash window flooding the space with light and onto the first-floor landing.
Past a decorative plasterwork arch is the master bedroom. This is a lovely light room benefitting from multiple windows to the front and side. Conveniently positioned next door is a shower room.
There is a further double bedroom next door with an original fireplace. Moving toward the rear of the property there is a single bedroom and recently been modernised family bathroom with a large shower and airing cupboard.
The second floor provides two further double bedrooms, each with an original feature fireplace.
Outside is a delightful sunny west-facing garden enclosed by a stone wall and overlooking open fields with a raised planting bed and pleasant patio area.
There is off-street parking to the front.
