Your new home


Your Farrow & Ball painted frontage sets the bar high immediately, accompanied by a freshly laid path of mosaic tilework. Instantly impressive kerb appeal. Newly replaced wooden sash windows in Farrow & Ball off black finish the beautiful exterior.

Inside, solid engineered oak hardwood runs underfoot in your hallway, with original ornate mouldings overhead and your wool carpeted staircase rising ahead. The 140 square foot front lounge is on the left, freshly painted in 'Lick' paint and home to bespoke storage and open shelving either side of the striking vintage hearth.

The first of your three family bathrooms is next along, featuring a double ended tub nestled up against a backdrop of soft grey letterbox tiles, with a Neptune marble vanity unit and soft beige timber panelling to the walls. A dedicated utility room follows, an essential family luxury with charcoal grey cabinets and a deep butler sink.

Moving to the rear, you'll step out into your 250 square foot open plan kitchen and living room. Beautifully bright between a bank of vaulted skylights and a rear wall of Crittall doors, this is a superb space and the social heart of your new home.

A substantial real stone marbled breakfast bar takes centre stage, artfully zoning the space, with heated slate grey floor tiling underfoot. A flank of sage green cabinets runs down one side, sat below the skylights, with more marbled counters, finished with burnished brass fittings and home to a full suite of integrated appliances.

That rear wall of glazed doors and transom windows means you can throw the whole space open to the garden, bringing the outside in and stepping out onto a perfect BBQ patio, giving way to a lush lawn with thriving planters, all sheltered by high timber fencing.

The 140 square foot office sits at the end, an elegantly separated home working space for that all important work life balance. Sliding French doors let in plenty of natural light, and it's all fully powered and insulated, with blonde hardwood floors.

Back inside and upstairs, your 150 square foot principal bedroom sits to the front, bay windowed and finished in soft white Farrow and Ball paint. More solid oak hardwood runs underfoot. The first floor sleeping arrangements are completed by another double plus a generous single, both finished to the same high standard.

The first floor is completed by bathroom two, a sleek shower room, complete with Bert & May terracotta tiles and underfloor heating, a marble topped sink and a rainfall shower cubicle.

Into the expertly realised loft conversion now, once more finished to family specifications. Your double bedroom to the front features soft wool carpet underfoot and oversized Velux windows overhead, as well as a wealth of undereaves storage and a generous suite of custom built fitted wardrobes down one side.

Your third bathroom is home once again to underfloor heating and a walk in corner shower cubicle, while bedroom five to the rear is another handsome double and a gently lit tranquil sanctuary with garden view.

The property also features brand new windows, a new boiler and new electrics.
