The Detail

Full of charm and period character, this delightful home on Midland Place showcases a wealth of original features and is set within a highly sought-after conservation area.

A traditional wood-panelled front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, where stripped wooden floorboards, a feature archway and a staircase with open spindles and a solid wood handrail immediately set the tone. From here, there is access to the front sitting room, a dining room/snug, and a well-appointed kitchen to the rear. A doorway also leads to stone steps descending to a three-compartment cellar.

To the front of the property, the sitting room is rich in character, centred around a cast-iron log burner recessed within a brick arch and set upon a stone-tiled hearth, creating a warm and inviting focal point. Coved ceilings and a glazed sash window further enhance the heritage feel. The dining room/snug continues the theme, featuring an open brick fireplace, wood-effect flooring and a sash window overlooking the rear garden.

The kitchen has been beautifully fitted with Shaker-style cabinetry, solid oak worktops, a Belfast sink and a Rangemaster dual-fuel cooker recessed into the chimney breast. There is an integrated dishwasher and space with plumbing for an automatic washing machine. A side window overlooks the rear garden, and a door provides direct access outside.

Upstairs, a semi-galleried landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, all featuring stripped wooden floorboards. The particularly spacious principal bedroom is a standout feature - a generous double room with built-in wardrobes and two glazed sash windows. The stylish bathroom complements the home’s character with metro tiling and a classic white suite.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden offers a private retreat with a patio area, lawn and planting borders. There is also parking directly in front of the property.
