3 Bedroom House - End Terrace
"We love this home so much. It has been a labour of love and some of our most cherished memories are tied to its everyday rhythms. In summer, we love having breakfast in the garden and watching our child play in the sun. In winter, we really enjoy lighting the wood burner, getting cosy together and watching a film on the projector."
The home
This is a warm contemporary home with a vintage flair that has been lovingly refurbished.
The restoration is much more than skin deep, with a full re-wire, installation of an air-source heat pump, new radiators and re-plumbing throughout. It's a handsome house, with classic red brickwork and pleasing symmetry to the windows on the front facade. This elegant quality continues as you head inside.
The two front receptions have been connected to create a wonderful open plan lounge/dining room with loads of space and natural light. There's a pretty fireplace with rustic wooden mantlepiece and log burner, perfect for cosying up on those winter evenings. The colour palate throughout the house is earthy and warm, continuing the rustic vibe. The dining area is a wonderful space for hosting or family time, with a mid century style tiled corner fireplace.
The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with loads of storage, counter space and elegant white units and appliances. It's a really pleasant place to cook in whilst enjoying the view into the lush garden. The ground floor is rounded off with a super handy downstairs cloakroom/utility room which tucks away the noisy washing machines.
Upstairs, natural light pours through the lovely stained glass window onto the landing. There are three generous double bedrooms. Each room also has a feature cast iron fireplace. The main bedroom has two windows and also features a recessed bookshelf. The shower room is finished with earthy tiles and a stained glass window to the side of the house.
The outside
The back garden is stunning. It is spacious, well landscaped and south facing, making it a wonderful place to enjoy the summer with friends and family. The owners have planted lots of evergreen and flowering plants, creating a garden that feels alive throughout the year. Inspired by their home, they have introduced rosemary and lots of lavender as a little reminder of the Mediterranean coast. A large cherry tree towards the back of the garden provides natural shade during hotter days. There's a real feeling of being in nature. It is a tranquil oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The front of the house is well landscaped, and super practical with a brick block paved driveway providing two off street parking spots.
