We are delighted to bring to the market this stunning Edwardian family home! This gorgeous house retains many of its period features and its formality but with the juxtapose of a truly modern, 21st Century open-plan living and entertaining area. This property is offering all of the charm of period living but with the practicality and functionality of a modern-built family residence.

 

Welcoming you into the property is the Edwardian Porchway, retaining the period floor and wall tiling, cast iron railings, original entrance door and stained glass windows, all setting the theme for what you are about to experience throughout the building.

 

The generous Entrance Hallway is set to polished Oak flooring, Pitch Pine panelled doors lead you to the formal sitting room at the front and to a modern open-plan living area at the rear. Look up and you are greeted by Edwardian plasterwork consisting of cornicing, decorative corbels and detailed mouldings. Original timber skirting, architrave and dado all still remain to set the period feel.

 

Into the South-facing sitting room you are immediately drawn to the grandeur of the bay window which has been meticulously re-created to the original design, blending the efficiency of new double-glazed units with the elegance of the original stained glass top lights, a feature which flood the room with rich colour as the midday sun shines through. The dramatically high celling, adorned with original plasterwork cornicing and an elaborate celling rose lends itself to either a full Edwardian décor renaissance or to a modern theme with a nod to the history of the house, as is the current style. As with the entrance hallway, original timber skirting, architrave and picture rail remain.

 

As you leave the Hallway into the rear entertaining area you would be forgiven for feeling that you had stepped into a custom-built new property. The seating area boasts contemporary column radiators, an integrated cinema sound system, a large projection screen and cinema style lighting, providing the perfect environment for a movie night with a friends or the family.

Into the dining area, natural light floods in through three automated and remotely-controlled VELUX rooflights, a 10 or even 12-seater dining table could be comfortably accommodated in this area. 

The executive kitchen offers a range of floor, wall and larder units, all finished in a high-gloss cream and walnut combination.  Externally-vented extraction quickly clears any cooking smells and steam allowing the entertaining environment to remain controlled. Equipped with dual, high-level conventional and combination ovens, a counter-flush induction hob, integrated refrigeration, integrated dishwasher and integrated wine cooler there really is every provision for every event. Under and in-cupboard lighting join with the mood lighting system in the main celling allowing for a lighting theme to suit any occasion, twined with the piped music system from the dining and seating areas, this whole room can be combined as one when entertaining a large group.

Leading into the garden, access to the terrace is through double French doors from the dining area and a single door from the kitchen lobby area, all are Upvc, multi-lock security doors with integral binds.

Between the two sets of doors a Swedish CONTURA free-standing wood burning stove stands proudly, not only providing a statement piece but also  a source of rapid heating for this vast area, in the winter months. 

Over-sized, highly polished porcelain tiles not only tie these three areas together as one but also reflect the natural daylight from the VELUX roof lights and French doors making this a light, airy and welcoming entertaining room.

Directly off the kitchen is a larder room, providing additional ambient storage.

A W.C and Laundry room are conveniently located directly from the kitchen lobby, providing a W.C, sink with a drainer, a selection of wall and base cupboards and also plumbing and power are available for both a washing machine and a tumble dryer.

 

As you head up the wide staircase you are treated to a spacious, split-level landing area from which three double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a fully boarded loft are accessed. The hand-turned balustrade, pitch pine panelled doors, skirting and dado rail continue the Edwardian architectural styling.

 

Bedroom No. 3 is a comfortable double or a single and home office. A Upvc double glazed sash style window provides views across the rear garden and the original skirting and dado rail frame the room.

 

The Family bathroom is compact but perfectly formed, there is a "P shape" bath with a rainfall shower over, a large vanity unit and chrome "ladder" towel rail. High polish floor to ceiling ceramic tiles, excellent lighting provision and an extraction system all make for a modern bathroom experience.

 

Bedroom No. 2 is bursting with Edwardian Charm, there is a period cast iron open fire place with decorative tile inserts and hearth and the built-in closet also remains. The high ceiling and large Upvc double glazed sash style window make this a light and airy room at the heart of the house. There is an airing cupboard adjacent the window which houses a recently-installed IDEAL 35 gas-fired combination boiler.

 

Bedroom No. 1 is a vast room which shares the same grand bay window as the Sitting room below, this window has also been re-created to the Edwardian design and incorporates both new double-glazed units and the original stained glass top lights, natural daylight also floods this room from a secondary window above the front entrance porchway. Edwardian features continue in abundance in this grand room, from the magnificent slate fireplace to the pitch pine skirting and dado, the original plaster cornicing and wall closet all provide a stunning period experience. Fitted, sliding wardrobes with internal lighting flank the east wall and provide ample clothing storage, spending time in this room at any time of the day is a joy!

The large loft is fully boarded, with two large fluorescent strip lights for great lighting and accessed conveniently from a steel pull-down ladder.

 

The rear garden is an oasis of tranquillity, the terrace area is of low-maintenance composite decking with integral lighting. There is a beautiful raised pond with a blade water feature, providing a calming soundscape which can be seen a heard from the meditation bed. The garden is currently separated into two areas, one laid to lawn with borders but walk through the Rose arch and there is an area currently set for home-growing vegetables, lighting around the garden allows enjoyment of this area by day or night.
