Description

This is a perfect example of a lovingly maintained and modernised mid Victorian terrace house, which affords a striking interior that has been sympathetically modernised and decorated while still retaining most of its 1900’s charm and character features. The property benefits from its open views to the park and a charming court yard garden.

Lounge

Here awaits a beautiful example of an original cast iron fire place with surround tiles and large mantle piece, all painstakingly restored to its natural beauty. A Bay window that commands views across the park has also recently been sympathetically replaced with wooden sash windows and double glazing modules to maintain the exteriors grand look. Here is also found the first of many examples of fire side cupboards built into the side of the chimney, fronted with wooden doors and provides ample storage. The floor has been lovingly stripped and varnished and the room naturally benefits from ample sockets and a radiator.

Rear Garden

Stylishly laid out, this two tier garden offers piece and tranquillity and a haven for wild birds. The lower section is laid with red and black tiles and gives access to a shed with both light and power.
