Chequers Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale 13 Lower Cross Road, an elegant Georgian-style family home that has been extensively and thoughtfully updated throughout the last year by the current owner to create a truly beautiful, turnkey residence.
Positioned within a desirable and well-established location, this impressive home perfectly blends classic Georgian proportions with high-quality contemporary finishes, offering exceptional accommodation ideal for modern family living. The level of care and attention invested in the property is immediately evident, with every detail carefully considered to enhance both style and comfort.
The ground floor accommodation is particularly impressive, flowing effortlessly from room to room while maintaining clearly defined living spaces. A standout feature is the spacious dual-aspect living room, which enjoys an abundance of natural light from windows to both the front and side elevations. This elegant space is centred around a feature fireplace, creating a warm and inviting setting ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
Complementing the living room is a separate formal dining room, perfectly suited for hosting family and friends. This room enjoys a seamless connection to the kitchen via a serving hatch and opens through glazed doors into the conservatory, creating a wonderful sense of flow and flexibility when entertaining.
The conservatory provides a tranquil additional reception space, offering uninterrupted views over the beautifully landscaped rear garden. Flooded with natural light, it is the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee, relax with a book or unwind in the evening while taking in the peaceful garden outlook.
The heart of the home is the newly fitted kitchen, which has been finished to an exceptional standard. Designed with both style and practicality in mind, it features a comprehensive range of modern cabinetry, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, making it ideal for everyday family life and social occasions. A door provides direct access to the garden, further enhancing indoor-outdoor living.
Upstairs, the first floor continues the sense of quality and space, with generously proportioned bedrooms complemented by a luxurious newly installed family bathroom and a beautifully appointed en-suite to the principal bedroom. Both have been finished to a high standard, offering a refined, spa-like feel.
The home has also benefitted from significant recent investment, including a new boiler installed in 2025, supplying the central heating and hot water system. The property is further enhanced by Hive smart heating with thermostat-controlled radiators, allowing efficient and convenient temperature control throughout.
Externally, the property is equally impressive. The rear garden has been extensively landscaped to create a private and peaceful retreat, thoughtfully designed with a variety of seating and entertaining areas. Whether enjoying alfresco dining, summer barbecues or quiet relaxation, the garden offers a beautiful extension of the living space while maintaining a high degree of privacy.
To the front, the home enjoys excellent kerb appeal, enhanced by its classic Georgian design, while driveway parking and a garage add further practicality.
In summary, 13 Lower Cross Road presents a rare opportunity to acquire a superbly updated Georgian-style home offering elegant reception rooms, high-quality modern finishes and beautifully landscaped gardens. A truly exceptional property that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
