Owned by the family for some forty-five years, this handsome home was built in the early 1930’s and benefits from distinctive features frequently found with properties of that era such as high ceilings, stained and leaded glassware, decorative plasterwork, deep skirting boards and oak newels and balustrades. There is great potential to sympathetically extend the property to add some contemporary accommodation to the existing layout which, briefly, comprises a broad hallway with cloakroom off, a sitting room, principal lounge, well-appointed kitchen, sun room, three bedrooms – two double and one single – and a four-piece family bathroom. The driveway provides parking for numerous cars, has a front lawn and side access to a large timber workshop with power and light. Metal double gates open to the sizeable, fence-enclosed, split-level, rear lawn garden with further parking, a second storage shed and overlooking the sports field and playground.
A uPVC door with stained and leaded glass insets and side panels opens to a porch lit by a pendant light and housing the gas meter. The matching original timber door with decoratively stained and leaded panels and fanlight opens to the broad hallway with pendant light, spindle staircase to the first floor and panelled doors to each of the rooms off.
The dining room has a feature bay window to the front with exposed stone surround and is also lit by a pendant light. A built-in cupboard houses the electricity meter and Georgian style double doors open to a further reception room.
The principal lounge has an opaque side window, a door to the hall, a glazed door with matching side panels to the sun room and a pendant light. The focal point of the room is the stone-clad feature chimney breast with tiled fireplace housing a gas fire and has a television point to the side.
The uPVC sun room has double doors opening to the split-level garden and overlooking the adjacent sports field and children’s playground. A panel of recessed downlights are fitted to the solid roof and a wall-mounted electric heater warms the room in chillier months.
With slate effect vinyl flooring, the breakfast kitchen has windows to the side and rear, a door to the side and two fluorescent ceiling lights. An excellent range of medium oak wall and base cabinets with brushed steel handles and tiling between levels are fitted to three walls. The granite effect worktops have an inset one and a half bowl stainless-steel sink unit with mixer tap over and also an inset four-ring induction hob with canopy extractor fan above. Integrated appliances include an eye-level double oven and grill, a fridge, and there is plumbing for a washing machine.
Completing the ground floor, the fully tiled cloakroom is fitted with a two-piece white suite comprising a vanity-set wash hand basin and a low flush w.c.
The original oak spindle staircase rises and turns to the first-floor landing with a large opaque window to the side and a pendant light.
A good-sized double, the master bedroom has a picture window to the rear, an opaque side window and a pendant light. Wardrobes with sliding mirror doors are fitted to one wall and there is a fitted drawer bank and a dressing table to the sides of the bed-space.
The second double bedroom has a double-glazed window to the front with leaded lights and a pendant light. Wardrobes with louvre doors are fitted to one wall and feature a central dressing table with mirror over.
The third, single bedroom has a window to the front with leaded lights and a pendant light.
The fully tiled bathroom has two opaque side windows, a fluorescent light and extractor fan to the pine-clad ceiling, and a loft hatch. Having non-slip flooring, the suite comprises a wet-room style shower area, a corner bath, a vanity-set wash hand basin and a low flush w.c.
The property is set beyond a low red-brick-built wall with gated access to a Tarmacadam driveway which provides parking for four/five cars and leads to a detached brick garage with up and over door, personal door, rear window, power and light. A further set of metal double gates opens to the south-west facing rear garden with a further secure parking space, bin store, timber storage shed and outside tap. A low retaining wall with steps down give way to the fence-enclosed, lawn area with deep-set shrub borders with specimen tree. To the other side of the property is a large timber workshop with power and light and a further broad path to the front lawn garden which is also surrounded by mature shrub borders.
