## Description

A truly outstanding four double-bedroom Edwardian semi-detached property with over 2200 square feet of accommodation on four floors. Set well back from the road with sizeable private driveway and good-sized, well-tended gardens front and rear.This elegant period property is close to Sale town centre and in easy walking distance of Brooklands Metro. It is in the catchment area for several outstanding primary and secondary schools. Built in 1910, the property has retained most of its original features including stained glass windows, cast-iron fireplaces, doors, high ceilings, cornicing and coving. However, it has been renovated, modernised and maintained to a high standard by the current vendor to suit a modern lifestyle. The spacious accommodation comprises a sizeable porch with double doors and leads into a large grand hallway featuring the original oak staircase and a superb floor-to-ceiling stained glass window. On the ground floor, the bay-fronted lounge with integral window seat combines elegant period features with contemporary décor. To the rear the dining room/sitting room features a striking art deco reproduction fireplace and further period features; French doors lead into the large, bright and airy conservatory overlooking the garden. The modern dining kitchen is brand new this year with all integrated appliances. This lovely family home also benefits from a good-sized ground floor shower room with WC and wash hand basin. The basement has significant storage space with shelving and a utility area with plumbing for an automatic washing machine and space for tumble dryer and fridge-freezer. To the first floor, there are four generous-sized bedrooms all with the original cast-iron fireplaces, also a family bathroom with large corner bath and electric shower over. To the second floor there is a large, bright loft room with three Velux windows, built-in wardrobes and extensive storage. It is currently used as an occasional bedroom and office. Externally at the front a private driveway provides ample off-road parking for several vehicles and to the rear there is a landscaped garden well-stocked with plants, shrubs and trees, with a separate patio area and summerhouse with full electrics. Viewing is essential to appreciate the beauty and spaciousness of this magnificent family home.
