Property description
Immaculately presented four bedroom character home offering surprisingly spacious accommodation that extends over four floors.
Overview
Built in the 19th Century and retaining much of its original character this superb four bedroom family home has a welcoming feel. The rooms are well proportioned with high ceilings and are flooded with natural light and the interlinking reception rooms are well suited for those who like to entertain. The property has been continuously improved over recent years and is finished to a high standard throughout with solid oak floors over much of the ground floor and sympathetic replacement double glazing. The recently installed log burner in the dining room is a particular feature and the superb basement room provides invaluable additional living space. Enjoying a desirable non estate position and backing onto open fields, Eastleigh is also within easy walking distance of St Michaels and All Angels primary school and the amenities within the village. The property benefits from wooden sealed unit double glazing and gas central heating fired by a Baxi boiler located in the kitchen. Outside a gated driveway provides parking for one vehicle, there is a private south east facing courtyard garden and a useful detached brick outbuilding with original range and adjoining utility/wc.
The Ground Floor
The property is entered through an original panelled door into an attractive hallway with staircase and original Victorian tiled floor. Off the hallway is a sitting room with walk in bay window to front, solid oak flooring and Victorian open fire with pine surround. The dining room features a recently installed multi fuel burning stove, solid oak flooring and provides access into a spacious kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cream Shaker style units with solid wood worksurfacing, Belfast sink, chimney breast with a recess for a range cooker and a stable door that opens to the rear garden. A staircase from the kitchen leads down to a lavishly appointed basement family room/home cinema with recessed spotlighting.
First and Second Floors
On the first floor are three bedrooms and a large family bathroom with a freestanding cast iron bath and separate shower enclosure. From the first floor landing an exposed wooden staircase rises to a second floor double bedroom that has two Velux windows and uninterrupted open views to the rear.
Outside
The property stands behind a dwarf brick wall with ornate iron railings. To the side of the property is a gated paved driveway that provides hardstanding for one large vehicle.
