There is also separate, independent access down to the annex on the lower ground floor (which can also be accessed from within).

Elevated views

Arriving into the kitchen, instantly sense the spaciousness of this inviting home. Overhead, the high ceiling adds an airy, lightness to the room, with original picture rail to the walls. Chic mallard green shades to the walls evoke a sense of heritage, harking back to the Victorian origins of the home, whilst the original fireplace and feature brick chimney breast have been lovingly reopened and displayed by the current vendors, who also installed a York stone hearth, adding a homely warmth.

Feast your eyes

Cream cabinetry provides plenty of storage to the walls, with additional storage available in the sociable central island. Equipped with all the essential appliances for modern living, the kitchen features an oven, gas hob, extractor fan, sink, fridge-freezer, microwave, dishwasher and waste disposal unit.

Make your way along the entrance hallway, where the double height ceiling invites an abundance of light through, noting the original wooden flooring and original architraves and cornicing, before stepping through into the living room.

Cosy cheer

The cheerful palette of foliage green continues in the living room, where a cast iron open fire within an elegant surround, issues so much warmth and welcome. Recessed alcoves have been cleverly fitted with shelving and storage, whilst the broad bay window frames far reaching views out over the park beyond, transporting you from town to countryside in a glance.

Original cornicing trims the high ceiling, with wooden blinds dressing both the bay window and all rooms throughout the home for a modern, contemporary feel yet in keeping with the heritage of the home. Overlooking the garden and park - this home feels so peaceful, tranquil and rural belying its town centre location.
