A classic three-bedroom Victorian terraced house, extended in striking style by the current owners out into the garden on the ground floor, incorporating the side return. This has created a fabulous kitchen to the rear of the house with folding glass doors out to a paved area and green space beyond. The reception rooms to the front of the property have also been opened up, so that the house now offers free flowing open-plan living and entertaining space from the bay window right through to the garden. The owners have glazed the side return, exposed feature brickwork, instated a sleek modern kitchen and replaced the flooring throughout, creating an impressively bright and spacious family environment, with a guest WC.
The first floor of the property offers a master bedroom across the front of the house, a second double bedroom behind that, and a third bedroom. To the rear of the house on the first floor is a contemporary bathroom with large jacuzzi bath. There is scope and precedent nearby for an extension into the loft space to create a third floor, subject to necessary consents. This space is sizeable, and such an extension might accommodate two further bedrooms and a bathroom.
