A professionally monitored wireless alarm system, covering all entry points, provides added peace of mind and is serviced through Q1 2025. Despite these extensive modern improvements, the home retains its original charm with beautifully restored hardwood floors, elegant cast iron fireplaces, original internal doors, and the original staircase preserving the character and craftsmanship of a bygone era. On entering the very fine entrance hall leads into an inviting living room that is decorated in soft, calming tones, the living room offers a tranquil retreat with outlets for a wall-mounted TV, dimmable lighting, and ample space for a large or medium couch and armchair. The morning sun warms this space beautifully, creating a welcoming atmosphere from first light. To the rear is a light filled open plan space, a stylish bespoke kitchen fitted in 2017 takes centre stage featured in a national magazine (2018). With abundant storage, high-quality shaker-style units, and a well-designed layout for optimal cooking flow, it's a dream for home chefs. A partial glass kitchen door and west-facing orientation fill the space with afternoon and evening sun. Understairs Storage: Thoughtfully designed bespoke understairs storage maximises space and functionality. To the next level beautiful original flooring leads to two very fine double bedrooms. Both rooms offer built-in wardrobes, original fireplace (flue closed), and practical additions such as bedside reading lights and light switches on both sides of the bed. The third bedroom also offers excellent storage and can be used as a bedroom or a home office. The bathroom was fully renovated in 2017 with contemporary tiling and fittings. A quiet electric shower was added in 2023, and a glass door with crisp white subway tiles brings a clean, fresh aesthetic. The landing has a south-facing window with opaque glass effect to maximise daylight and privacy. The Linen press offers additional storage.

Framed by raised flower beds, a charming, paved path and mature trees at the rear, the garden enjoys sunlight throughout the day as it moves from morning to evening, casting a warm glow across different areas.
