The Property
Situated within the medieval grid, a short distance to the amenities and cultural facilities, 78 Whiting Street is an attractive early-19th-century period house, built of traditional construction with white brick elevations underneath a slate roof, and re-built on an older site by William Steggles of The Guildhall Feoffment Trust.
The property has been in recent years been completely refurbished and remodelled. The refurbishment has beautifully fused the original fabric and elements of the property with contemporary nuances and a stunning new monopitch sitting room extension which cleverly balances the accommodation, as well as forming an internal glass courtyard feature. During the renovation, the property was re-roofed, as well as undergoing a full rewiring and re-plumbing programme, with the addition of stylish high-quality modern fittings, bathrooms and beautiful hand-crafted modern parquet flooring.
The accommodation on the ground floor comprises entrance hall with sweeping curved staircase to the upper floors, and cloakroom with ceramic-tiled floors and space and plumbing for washing machine. The open-plan, split-level main living space is a clever fusion of the original building and its contemporary extension, set off by attractive handmade modern oak parquet flooring and a hand-built Shaker kitchen incorporating a double oven with induction hob and hood above, and integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher, as well as a stylish matching island with granite worktop and inset sink.
Furthermore, where the table is likely to be placed, there is a fireplace with freestanding modern wood-burning stove. steps lead down to a vaulted sitting room with oak parquet flooring a glazed end wall with bi-fold doors leading to the walled hard landscaped garden. The cellar has been converted and has oak parquet flooring and would make a perfect snug or home office.
Leading up from the staircase is a half landing with one of, we believe, only two remaining in-situ original outhouses, which has been refurbished and makes a pleasant feature of the staircase. On the first floor, there is a master bedroom with en suite ‘Jack-and-Jill’ bathroom, and a further double bedroom.
On the second floor is bedroom 3, with attractive original painted brickwork and exposed timbers, Heritage Velux window and access to a large en suite and large walk-in airing cupboard and plenty of eaves storage.
Outside
The west-facing walled garden has been beautifully landscaped, with an exposed brick-and-flint wall, enjoying a good deal of privacy and seclusion.
FIXTURES AND FITTINGS: Unless specifically mentioned, certain fixtures and fittings may be excluded from the sale. Some items such as Range cooker, carpets, curtains, light fittings, etc., may be available by separate negotiation. Back to listing
