If you love the charm and proportions of early 20th-century homes but prefer one that’s ready to enjoy, this beautifully renovated property offers the perfect balance of period elegance and modern ease. Thoughtfully extended and finished throughout in calm, neutral tones, it’s a home that feels both sophisticated and welcoming, ideal for a couple or a growing family seeking space, light, and style without compromise.
The property is a handsome bay-fronted home, sympathetically extended to enhance its generous proportions while retaining its original character. The current owners recognised its potential and have reimagined the layout to create an inviting, versatile space that meets the needs of contemporary living. Proudly positioned down a quiet, tree-lined street surrounded by other period properties, the setting itself adds to the home’s undeniable appeal.
The approach is instantly attractive, with a tiled porch, elegant feature arch, and original stained-glass front door setting the tone for what lies within. The hallway immediately conveys a sense of openness and light, offering a natural flow between the main rooms.
The sitting room is bright and refined, framed by a graceful bay window and centred around an original fireplace, a perfect spot to unwind in comfort. Beyond this, the dining room continues the theme of elegance with another period fireplace and sliding doors that open onto the garden, suitable for intimate family meals and gatherings with loved ones.
To the front of the house, a versatile reception room with a second bay window forms part of the extension. It’s a flexible space, equally suited to use as a home office, playroom, or guest bedroom, allowing the home to adapt to changing needs and lifestyles.
The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, breakfast room and garden room, the owners’ favourite space. The kitchen has been carefully reconfigured to create a contemporary social hub, with a breakfast bar for casual dining. It is equipped with quality cabinetry, a solid Oak worktop, an integrated oven, a dishwasher and space for a fridge/freezer, complemented by a functional utility room for laundry goods. Flooded with an abundance of natural light, the garden opens directly to the garden, allowing an effortless indoor-outdoor flow. On summer days, the dining and garden room doors can be opened wide, turning the garden into an inviting extension of your living space.
Upstairs, there are four beautifully proportioned bedrooms that offer the utmost comfort and privacy. Each room has its own distinct character, enhanced by soft natural light and understated décor that makes them easy to personalise. The family bathroom has been newly refitted and features a classic three-piece suite, combining timeless style with modern convenience.
The garden is private, secure, and designed for easy enjoyment. It’s large enough for family barbecues, gardening, or children’s play, yet simple to maintain. Mature boundaries ensure seclusion, and the atmosphere is remarkably peaceful, a rare find in such a well-connected location.
Here, you can truly embrace the best of both worlds: a refined home with timeless character, surrounded by nature, yet moments from all essentials. A place where weekends drift easily from beach walks to garden gatherings, a home to live well, year-round.
