Whitehall Road, Whitehall

"We absolutely love our garden. The front of the house gives no indication that it's there, but the view pulls you through as soon as you step inside. All you can see is green, with the beautiful willow tree at the end catching the evening sun in its leaves. It's incredibly peaceful. Over the last 11 years, we've made so many memories: BBQs with friends, quiet coffees on the patio before work, and watching our young daughter race up and down the garden. It's been a wonderful house to call home."

The house

This beautiful two-bedroom Victorian terrace in Whitehall has been renovated over ten years, creating a more spacious and practical home while retaining its period character.

The living room at the front is a bright and comfortable space, with a bay window and plenty of room for a cosy living space or home office. To the rear, the double-storey extension has created a generous kitchen/diner with fitted storage, good natural light and lovely green views out onto the garden. The open-plan lay out of this large living space makes it ideal for both hosting & everyday living. A downstairs WC/cloakroom was also added enhancing the practicality of the ground floor.

Upstairs, the extension has created a larger master bedroom with plenty of space for wardrobes, furniture or a home office space - the views over the garden create a peaceful & bright feel. The second bedroom is also a good-sized double bedroom with ample storage space. The bathroom was moved to the centre of the house and has a vaulted ceiling with a Velux window, bringing in lots of natural light and making the bathroom feel more spacious.

The outside space

The south-facing garden is a highlight of the property. It is a really big outside space for the area which has been beautifully landscaped; a paved area immediately outside the house leads onto a long, established garden. There are mature trees & planting, including an apple tree & wild fruit bushes, a central path and a greenhouse, with plenty of space for outdoor dining, gardening and relaxing. It has a lovely green and private feel, while still being easy to maintain - towards the back there is ample space to have a small allotment or a garden studio. There is also rear access into the garden & non-permit parking availability by the back gate.
