Property description
2 Roman Road is an excellent detached 1930s town house which has undergone an extensive programme of renovation and improvement. The house has an imposing entrance porch which leads into an elegant reception hall with oak herring bone patterned flooring (salvaged from a former country house) and waist height, painted wall panels. Both reception rooms are of a particularly good size: both have waist high, painted wall panels whilst the dining room has an array of bespoke cabinetry and the sitting room has a stone fire surround with a Living Flame gas fire and French doors opening onto a large covered veranda. The kitchen has been remodelled and refitted with a range of country style Shaker units and a quarry tiled floor with feature mitred oak strips. There is an adjoining utility room with access to the front and rear of the property. All three first floor bedrooms are an excellent size and all are fitted with bespoke fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom has been remodelled and refitted in a period style to include a free standing roll top bath and separate walk-in shower enclosure. There is also a large attic room accessible from the first floor landing via a full staircase; this room has the benefit of heating, a Velux window giving natural light and an ensuite bathroom (prospective buyers should note that the attic room does not have building regulations approval and as such may not be described as a bedroom). The property is fully double glazed with uPVC windows, has cavity wall insulation and is centrally heated by a mains gas fired boiler to a water filled radiator system. To the front is a walled drive which is entirely block paved for maximum parking. There is a garage attached to the side of the house and access on both sides leads through to a generous rear garden. The garden itself is laid to lawn, there is a patio/seating area and a large covered veranda extending across the rear of the sitting room and kitchen. A particular feature of the property is a substantial detached outbuilding currently in use as a workshop which measures approximately 9 m feet s by 4.5 m feet (see photographs) with power, light, double glazing and double glazed patio doors. It is considered that this building would make a fabulous studio or office for someone working from home or indeed an impressive family room/kids den. Finally it must be said that 2 Roman Road is an exceptional family home finished to the highest of standards with still further potential to enlarge.
