Approach
This excellent-sized, two-bedroom period mid-terrace home is beautifully presented and full of charm. The property is approached via a landscaped fore garden, enclosed by low-level boundary walling with elegant wrought iron railings and a matching front gate. Upon entering, you're greeted by a well-tended block-paved front garden, tastefully planted with mature shrubs, trees, and plants. A distinctive blue engineering brick pathway gently winds its way through the garden, guiding you to a set of steps that lead up to the storm porch. The entrance features a composite double-glazed front door set beneath a double-glazed overhead window, allowing natural light to filter into the porch and interior hallway beyond.
Entrance Vestibule
Stepping inside, the entrance hallway features an original-style Minton tiled floor, adding a touch of timeless elegance. Cornicing to the ceiling enhances the period character, while a glazed interior door with a matching glazed window above allows additional light to filter through, creating a bright and welcoming space. This door opens into:
Main Hall
The hallway continues with ceiling cornicing that complements the property's period style. A staircase rises to the first floor, and a central heating radiator provides warmth to the space. A charming arched opening adorned with decorative corbels adds architectural interest and leads to a set of interior doors, which in turn open into:
Front Reception Room
4.29m x 3.25m (14'01" x 10'08" )A beautifully appointed front reception room awaits, featuring a double-glazed bay window to the front aspect that fills the space with natural light. Period details abound, including ceiling cornicing, a picture rail, and a central ceiling light point with an ornate ceiling rose. The room boasts an oak hardwood floor covering and two central heating radiators for warmth and comfort. A standout feature is the inset gas fire set within a period-style cast iron fireplace, complete with a raised slate hearth and an elegant wooden mantelpiece and surround, creating a perfect focal point for the space.

Toward the rear, there's a further seating patio area, complete with raised sleeper flowerbeds, vegetable patches, and a garden shed, all enclosed by panel fencing for added privacy and security.
