4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

The property
The refurbishment has updated the house while keeping to the traditional layout and elegant lines of the era: there is ample space for families, with well-proportioned reception rooms and a
generous kitchen extension to the rear which creates a fantastic open plan living space. The entrance hallway, which has been skilfully restored back to its Edwardian heyday, provides a stylish
welcome, with the front door opening to a tiled floor, decorative plasterwork and wall panelling. Clever storage under the stairs provides space to keep shoes and bags tucked away. The two
reception rooms at the front of the house include a sitting room with wood-burning stove and a snug with built-in joinery that makes a great spot for family movie nights. The kitchen is filled
with light thanks to a roof lantern and French doors leading out to the garden. Elegant blue and cream cabinetry is accented by copper hardware and a Belfast sink. Appliances include
a Rangemaster oven, a wine cooler, microwave and Bosch dishwasher, all seamlessly integrated into the design, with a separate utility room for laundry machines. Upstairs, there are three good-size bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first
floor and a principal bedroom with en suite shower room on the second floor, the latter with useful eaves storage.
