2 bed House - Semi-Detached for Sale

WITH THE RARE BENEFIT OF A DETACHED DOUBLE GARAGE WITH LOFT ROOM - A most attractive Victorian semi-detached villa located on a quiet street within easy reach of the town’s amenities.

As well as two double-sized bedrooms and a large first floor bathroom tastefully fitted with both a shower enclosure and roll-top bath, this charming home offers sociable open-plan reception space and a dedicated home office/study with cloakroom, which has been used previously as an occasional third bedroom.

OVERVIEW:

To the ground floor, a welcoming hallway is a most useful space allowing for the removal and storage of outdoor wear without disturbance to the main living space.

From the hall, a staircase rises to the first floor and a door leads through to an impressively sized, open-plan, dual aspect sitting-dining room where a duo of focal fireplaces – to include one with a working, open grate - charmingly define each separate zone. An attractive box bay window to the front, together with a set of French doors opening invitingly to the garden, ensure that the whole space is flooded with a superb quality of natural light, whilst alcove shelving and a bespoke log store add to the overall character and appeal.

The dining area is ideally located within close proximity of the kitchen, which has been comprehensively fitted with a selection of Shaker style base and wall cupboards/drawers in a neutral colourway, also providing a generous amount of prep space with tiled splashbacks and flooring a practical choice. An electric combination oven, four ring gas hob and extractor have been integrated, with a 1.5 bowl stainless steel sink with drainer and mixer tap and space/plumbing for both a full-size dishwasher and upright fridge/freezer.

Doors from the kitchen open respectively to the garden and a further reception, (which can be cleverly accessed independently from the garden via a set of French doors) offering flexible use as a home office, snug, playroom or occasional bedroom, given the inclusion of a cloakroom with WC, basin and space/plumbing in situ for a washing machine.

To the first floor are two double-sized bedrooms, with the principal benefitting from a bank of fitted wardrobes to one wall. A striking, period-style four-piece bathroom with decorative floor tiling completes the accommodation.

To the upper landing there is hatched access to the loft space, as well as a fitted storage cupboard, which together with an understairs’ cupboard to the ground floor, enables day-to-day essentials to be kept neatly to hand.
Externally, the rear garden is fully fenced with a child and pet friendly level lawn, well-stocked flower border and timber tool shed. A shingled terrace is ideal for outdoor dining with its westerly orientation and a most useful, brick-built lean-to provides valuable additional storage for bikes, bins etc, as well as locked side access through to the front garden.

A shingle path through the rear garden leads to a raised decked terrace with French doors into the spacious, detached double garage equipped with power/light, an integral gym area and electric roller door (NB. Vehicular access to the garage is via a track from Hartley Road). An internal staircase ascends to a loft room with Velux skylight, lighting and sockets, which could be utilised for a variety of purposes.
