From traditional touches such as classic radiators to sleek vertical radiators in keeping with the overall theme, every element has been thoughtfully considered. The property is undoubtedly worthy of internal inspection, showcasing a painstaking renovation that has transformed the layout, including the removal of a stud partition wall to create a spacious and impressive two-bedroom configuration, complemented by high-end refitted kitchen and bathroom suites. The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hallway, accessed via a traditional front door and featuring attractive mosaic-style flooring. Exposed timber doors lead through to the principal living spaces. The lounge is a particularly striking room, benefitting from a bay fronted aspect, high ceilings, and a beautiful feature fireplace set within an ornate cast iron surround, complete with a mid-height mantel and decorative mirror above. A recently installed inset stove adds both charm and practicality, providing a cosy focal point ideal for the colder months. The stairs are located centrally between the lounge and the kitchen. The dining kitchen has been thoughtfully designed and superbly equipped with a range of base and tower units in a clean, high-gloss white finish, complemented by quality granite-style work surfaces. An inset sink unit with modern fittings enhances functionality, while tiled flooring adds to the room’s durability and style. Folding doors open directly onto the rear patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The dining area itself is of generous proportions and features a second solid fuel-burning stove set within a traditional surround, complete with timber mantel and shelving to the alcoves. A contemporary vertical brushed steel radiator completes this impressive and sociable space. To the ground floor, there is also the added convenience of a WC fitted with a close-coupled suite and wash hand basin.
