Property description

This property is all about the Art Deco period, and it certainly has all the features of the period you could hope to find in a home. Located in the prestigious Sandy Lane area with pleasant riverside walks, the position of the property within the small cul-de-sac setting provides that exclusivity and privacy that ensures you have it all with this little gem. The property has been sympathetically extended and modernised by our current sellers, who have retained the integrity of the key features of the property and in so many ways have improved on this to now offer a home that most modern families now wish to live in. With a ready to move into finish and spacious rooms, we can guarantee this property is one not to be missed. The layout comprises: open porch, hallway with exposed floorboards (which continue throughout the ground floor), turned and split staircase rises to the first floor, w/c, bay fronted living room with open working fire, rear dining room with full-height glass windows and inset door opening to the rear, breakfast kitchen with utility room and access to the rear garden leading off; the utility room doubles up as a cloakroom/boot room. To the first floor, landing, three bedrooms, modernised bathroom with white suite which includes separate shower cubicle, double ended bath, 'his and hers sinks' and there is a separate w/c, guest bedroom with en-suite shower room and French doors that open onto a elevated patio area with wrought iron spiral staircase down into the rear garden. The outside of the home, if you look careful enough, is very cleverly laid out with planted areas and driveway with representations back to the Art Deco style. The rear garden provides a large paved and decked seating area with raised lawn beyond. Trust us when we say you must take a look at this semi-detached to see what it offers that others cannot match.
