Welcome Home...

Sitting on the ever popular Western Road is this truly breath-taking example of what is possible when combining imaginative creativity & design with attractive Victorian architecture.

This stunning home is, without doubt, one of the most stylish homes we have bought to market and is presented for sale in first class order throughout. The finishes are immaculate and abundant natural light pours in through carefully placed glazing and skylight. Having been substantially extended by the current owners, this is a stunning home that combines Victorian elegance with a flawless modern specification to dramatic effect and extends to just over 1,700 sq ft, over three floors.

From the front, you have the pretty Victorian façade, characterised by the red-brick and bay windows that will appeal to lovers of period property. There is also a glimpse at the extension, which sits submissively back from the original part of the house but creates a sense of intrigue.

It is the rear of the house where the most remarkable transformation has taken place. A magnificent wrap around extension that creates a striking juxtaposition and the most exceptional open plan living space that is simply perfect for entertaining.

Understairs you have cleverly created cabinetry that provides very useful storage and there is a modern cloakroom, with further storage.

Panelled doors and raw metal column radiators provide a nod to the original age of the home.

Heading Upstairs...

Over the first and second floors there are four bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms. On the first floor you have the traditional split level landing, with Sisal woven carpets.

Across the entire front of the house is a fabulous double bedroom that enjoys the best of the morning light, pouring in through the bay window. There are full-width fitted wardrobes and a chimney breast.

There is a second double bedroom that looks over the rear and the fourth bedroom is a single bedroom that works perfectly as a home office, with a beautiful leafy vista that is rarely found in town centre locations. A tranquil space for working from home.
