THE PROPERTY
Dating from 1907, this impressive early Garden City residence is a fine example of the Arts & Crafts style, retaining a wealth of original character while embracing a sophisticated contemporary twist. Having undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment by the current owners, the property combines period charm with modern comfort, including a full rewire, new plumbing, alarm and CCTV systems for comfort.

A striking reception hall with an impressive staircase sets the tone, leading to a series of spacious and versatile reception rooms. The elegant lounge features a characterful Inglenook and double doors opening onto the garden, complemented by a formal dining room and a third reception room, ideal as a home office. At the heart of the home, the stunning kitchen/family space has a contemporary feel, with bifold doors opening onto the south-facing garden.

The first floor provides five generous double bedrooms, including a superb principal bedroom with ensuite and dressing room, together with a well-appointed family bathroom featuring a separate shower. The accommodation offers exceptional flexibility for modern family living, with ample space for entertaining, working from home and accommodating guests.

Outside, the approximately quarter-acre south-facing plot is a particular highlight. Mature borders provide excellent privacy, while a large decked terrace, kitchen garden and garden shed enhance the outdoor space. To the front, twin gravel driveways provide parking for several vehicles, alongside a single garage. A rare combination of period pedigree, thoughtful refurbishment and enviable gardens.
