This beautifully extended three-bedroom period terrace is a considered blend of old and new, where original character has been carefully preserved and complemented by a contemporary rear extension. The result is a home of both charm and design-led living, offering versatile space, strong natural light and a seamless connection to the garden.
Living Spaces & Entrance Hall
An original stained glass door opens into a hallway rich in period detail, where patterned tiled flooring and a cloaks cupboard provide both practicality and a sense of arrival. To the front, the main living room is centred around a sash bay window, drawing in soft natural light. A multi-fuel burner with wooden surround adds warmth and texture, creating an inviting and intimate setting. The second reception room sits at the heart of the home, offering a more relaxed and adaptable space. Bamboo flooring runs underfoot, while a feature fireplace anchors the room. Pocket doors allow for separation or openness depending on the occasion, gently guiding you through to the extension beyond.
Open-Plan Kitchen, Dining & Living
Spanning the rear of the property, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space has been designed with both light and flow in mind. It is a space that shifts effortlessly throughout the day — from calm mornings to sociable evenings. The kitchen itself is understated and functional, with a range of wall and base units, work surfaces over and space for a range-style cooker. Above, remote-controlled Velux skylights draw daylight deep into the space, while sliding and bi-fold doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out. Underfloor heating runs beneath a combination of tiled and polished concrete flooring, and a wood-burning stove introduces a natural focal point — grounding the contemporary design with a sense of warmth. A ground floor WC sits discreetly off the main space.
Bedrooms
Upstairs, three bedrooms offer well-proportioned and versatile accommodation. The principal bedroom sits to the front, a generous and light-filled room with two windows, built-in storage and a feature fireplace. Bedroom two enjoys a quieter position overlooking the garden, echoing the same sense of character and proportion. The third bedroom is ideal as a nursery, guest room or home office, finished with oak flooring and a front aspect.
Bathroom & Balcony
The bathroom has been designed as a space to unwind, centred around a freestanding bath and complemented by a walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin. Full-height double doors open directly onto a private balcony, inviting in fresh air and framing elevated views across the garden — an unexpected and quietly luxurious detail that sets this home apart.
Outdoor Lifestyle
The garden has been thoughtfully arranged to support a more considered, outdoor way of living. A combination of patio, lawn and established planting creates distinct areas for relaxing, entertaining and play. There is space for growing your own produce, alongside a dedicated area for keeping chickens, lending a semi-rural feel to an otherwise well-connected setting. A fully powered outbuilding, currently used as an art studio, offers excellent flexibility as a workspace, summer house or creative retreat. To the rear, a gate opens directly onto Sileby Memorial Park, extending the landscape beyond your own garden and providing immediate access to green open space. The front of the property is enclosed by a low wall and designed for ease of maintenance, with slate chippings and a tiled pathway completing the approach.
