Description

Park View is one of two handsome, semi-detached Victorian period properties, which has been extended and updated over time, with further, more recent improvements made under our clients' ownership. The accommodation is well-proportioned, light, and spacious, and enjoys plenty of natural light. The house is beautifully presented to a very high standard throughout with the modern fixtures and fittings, contemporary colour palette and styling complementing the age of the house perfectly.

On entering, a more formal sitting room is found to the front of the property, with characterful bay window and attractive feature fireplace with wood burning stove.
Of particular note is the impressive ground floor extension which has created a highly stylish and sizeable kitchen/diner/family room. This open-plan room is found to the rear of the house and offers plenty of preparation space, attractive fitted base, kitchen island and wall cabinetry provides very good storage with a range of integrated appliances. The space is easily zoned to provide a dining area and seating area. Bi-fold doors provide the view over and open directly onto the terrace and patio beyond, creating a very sociable layout, ideal for entertaining and every day family living.

On the first floor, the principal double bedroom is situated at the front and features a charming period fireplace. There is a contemporary and spacious shower room on this level. A study and an additional double bedroom are located to the rear of the property and benefit from pleasant views over the garden and beyond.

To the rear lies a south-facing enclosed garden, designed with ease of maintenance in mind. It features terracing, a patio area, and established planting along the borders, offering good screening from the neighbouring property. A detached, contemporary studio, fully equipped with power, is currently used as a gym and utility space and could also serves as an ideal work-from-home office.
