Inside, exceptionally high ceilings and sash, bay and picture windows frame two receptions linked by a conservatory; a bright and spacious kitchen; and two bedrooms and bathrooms. Stylish feature walls in Farrow & Ball shades with picture and dado rails combine with cast-iron radiators and exposed original floorboards to give a modern finish to the home‘s period charm.
The property has been upgraded with new double-glazing in the last three years. In addition, the owners replaced the conservatory doors and windows and installed a new boiler with a digital heating system in 2021.
Upon arrival, a hard-standing provides plenty of room for private parking. The traditional Victorian frontage with stone columns, sills and lintels to the bay windows opens to a communal lobby, where you‘ll find a separate entrance revealing a long hallway accented by two-tone paintwork and a stunning column radiator. The exposed original floorboards underfoot here continue throughout the reception rooms and bedrooms.
First, head right into an impressive front bedroom with an intricately coved high ceiling bearing a central rose. A sash bay window illuminates soft green walls finished with a picture rail. There‘s also a six-column traditional radiator, and floor-to-ceiling integrated storage flanking a chimney breast with a feature brick alcove.
Beyond, the generous living room has two cast iron radiators and a decorative recessed fireplace complete with a hearth inlaid with William Morris design tiles, and a floating oak mantle. Other thoughtful details include a factory-style enamelled pendant light and brass curtain holdbacks. Bespoke alcove shelving extends to the ceiling on either side of the Farrow & Ball Sulking Room Pink-hued chimney breast, while tall double timber doors in the bay open into a versatile conservatory, which features lovely Arts and Crafts-style stained-glass panels and glazed patio doors to the garden.
Continue along the hall to find matching two-tone staircases with painted spindles and polished solid wood rails. The first descends to the cellar, which has a considerable floor area that lends itself to multiple possible uses, such as wine storage or a home gym.
Behind the main staircase, you‘ll find more shelving and storage space. Opposite, a stained-glass door reveals an attractively tiled shower room containing a rainfall shower enclosure with frameless screen, chrome towel rail, pedestal basin with traditional Victorian-style taps, and a close-coupled loo.
A recently refurbished Victorian feature fireplace with granite hearth acts as the natural focal point in the dining room, which has an original detailed ceiling rose, cast iron radiator and feature walls painted in Charlotte‘s Locks by Farrow & Ball. It‘s linked to the conservatory and the kitchen, where an array of picture windows overlook the garden and encircle a delightfully sunny circular breakfast nook.
The super spacious food preparation area with wooden worktop is further illuminated by recessed downlights. Blue tongue-and-groove panelling and tonal navy splashback tiles add an injection of cheerful colour; while appliances and features include a five-ring Belling gas range cooker with extractor hood, a 1.5-bowl stainless steel sink with traditional mixer tap, and space for a dishwasher, washing machine and an American-style fridge-freezer.
Upstairs, you‘ll discover a second garden-facing double bedroom with a sash window, decorated with soft neutral tones. There‘s a white column-style radiator here, and ample space for wardrobes and additional furniture.
Head through into an ensuite brightened by white-painted floorboards and white wall tiles, which surround a panelled bath with traditional-style taps and a glass-screened overhead shower. A pedestal basin and close-coupled loo complete the suite, while a frosted sash window lets in natural light.
Claiming the sun from morning to late afternoon, the 60ft southeast-facing garden begins as a paved side terrace. This leads to a large enclosed lawn with borders filled with mature plants and shrubs including yew, Choisya (Mexican orange), Hypericum (St John‘s wort) and an apple tree, as well as a vegetable patch to the rear.
A NOTE FROM THE OWNERS
‘We love the high ceilings and the unique spacious layout of the house, the bookcases in the lounge, and the original floorboards. The round feature nook in the kitchen is lovely to have your breakfast in every morning, and the garden is great for summer sunbathing.‘
IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

It also represents a unique opportunity to own a sizeable and beautifully proportioned home with off-street parking, an extensive cellar, and a large sunny garden in this ever-popular residential hub.Inside, exceptionally high ceilings and sash, bay and picture windows frame two receptions linked by a conservatory; a bright and spacious kitchen; and two bedrooms and bathrooms.
