Why Should You Buy Me?

When Filip and Stella purchased this home, they were really drawn to the charm of the area.

The house, built in 1951 (confirmed with a date etched in the chimney render in the loft!) required modernisation, providing Filip & Stella with a blank canvas to create their dream home. Since then, they have made extensive improvements, ensuring no stone was left unturned! (A DM from Filip & Stella is below this basic overview).

Extensions include a double-storey side extension, a single-storey rear extension, and a dormer loft extension, all completed with proper permissions and certifications.

The property has also undergone a complete rewire and replumbing, with a new Worcester Bosch boiler installed in 2022. The central heating system has been upgraded with underfloor heating on the ground floor and new radiators on the upper floors. Additionally, the home features new windows, doors, and a completely new roof. The entire property has been re-insulated and rendered, enhancing its energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal.
