Description
Boasting over 1700 sq ft of living space, this deceptively spacious terraced home is arguably larger than many semi or detached homes, and with 4 double bedrooms this is ideal for couples and families alike. The convenient location close to road networks, an array of excellent primary and high schools, bus routes and other local amenities, makes this home even more attractive to buyers. The Victorian Moor Park is just a 5 minute walk away for those wishing to enjoy nature and green space and Highgate woods are opposite. Furthermore, the City Centre and railway station are a ten minute drive for anyone wishing to commute.
Set back from the main road with wall enclosed front garden and railings, this home has a great presence and looks attractive with it's period charm and bay window and landscaped front garden. Parking is available on street to the front for multiple cars as needed.
The rear enclosed courtyard is accessed via French doors from the breakfast kitchen seamlessly blending the inside and outside spaces together and making the space practical for entertaining. The current owners have made the space neat and tidy and have enhanced it with decking, panelled walls and lighting, and an awning to cover the space creating a sheltered and shaded spot as needed from the afternoon sun. There are outside sockets and water too. Ample space for a bistro table and chairs and a dining table and chairs. A lovely easy maintained space to enjoy. Beyond is a private lane ideal for children to enjoy a further play area if needed.
The interior of this home is stunning. From the entrance vestibule which has the original tiled flooring, a secondary door opens to the impressive hallway with original flooring, high ceilings and staircase rising to the first floor. The principal living room features an attractive bay window with view across the front garden, and ideal spot to watch the passers by. An impressive generous room decorated in light colours to bring an airy and spacious feeling to the room. Contemporary fitted alcove shelving and media unit give the room a modern timeless design. The bay is glazed with Pilkington noise cancelling glass and the sash windows tilt and open.
The second reception room, offers a versatile living space with an attractive view over the Mediterranean courtyard. Ideal as a formal dining room, or 2nd sitting room but large enough for both! To the rear of the property is an excellent breakfast kitchen which is the perfect shape and size to accommodate a table and chairs and is fitted with an excellent range of wall and base units for storage and convenient cooking space. Double doors open to a further room which is presented as a small seating area / utility space. Formerly was a ground floor WC (with the plumbing still in place) but the owners wanted to create an area for morning coffee as there is a window and full glass door to the courtyard. The appliances include a newly fitted gas Range cooker and and integrated dishwasher. The Smeg fridge is available by separate negotiation.
From the hallway, stairs lead to a cellar where there is a large room ideal for potential further development or storage.
All of the bedrooms are double rooms, a choice of 4 spread out with a split level landing and seating area. Bedroom one has excellent storage included in the sale if required; triple wardrobes, drawers and desk included. The other bedrooms also all have fitted wardrobes and storage included. The bathroom is styled in a timeless white design, three piece with shower over the bath, and brick shaped contrasting tiles around the bath.
