The current owner has done a remarkable job in restoring this wonderful home to its original Edwardian splendour. Many period features remain intact with others reinstated to create an exquisitely appointed, family home with superb flow, that's perfect for modern life.
The front door opens to the inspiring reception hall. The stunning Minton tile floor with deep skirting boards draws the eye while one can't help but notice the high ceilings and picture rails. The attention to detail for the entire house is immediately evident and a turning staircase rises to the first floor. There is a useful and wonderfully appointed guest cloakroom/WC with ornate fired Earth tiles and with high-level cistern.
The sublime drawing room is impeccably finished! A warm, comfortable and inviting space with a large walk-in bay window overlooking the front aspect. The pretty stained glass leaded window lights add a splash of colour. The William Morris 'Pimpernel' wallpaper complements the stunning rouge marble fire surround which is a superb focal point. Double doors flow through to the formal dining room which sits at the rear of the house. The parliament hinges allow the doors to be folded back against the walls to allow for larger parties.
The dining room is light and bright with French doors opening to the superb conservatory. This is the perfect space for hosting formal dinner parties and large family gatherings. The Edwardian feature mahogany fireplace is a lovely focal point.
The morning room is a relaxing space. An in-set log burning stove with limestone surround creates a lovely focal point and a relaxing "comfy cosy” feel and there is also underfloor heating. French doors open to the hardwood conservatory.
The double-glazed conservatory is simply delightful with original style “Arundel” Victorian floor tiles. This gorgeous room with a full glass roof invites the garden indoors and provides a wonderful room to enjoy the outdoors even in the cooler, winter months and the William Morris poetry excerpt on the wall reflects this. French doors open to a sheltered patio area, perfect for al fresco dining.
The stunning kitchen is beautifully fitted with a good range of wall and floor mounted units with solid oak doors from the Langton range by Burbidge & Son of Coventry, with marble work surfaces over and complimenting splash backs. The superb breakfast bar offers further storage and a more informal dining area. A feature Rangemaster cooker in cranberry adds a superb splash of colour to this very elegant kitchen. There is a comprehensive range of integrated Neff appliances and a Franke water unit. The kitchen has underfloor heating.
There is a separate utility room off the reception hallway with space and plumbing for the larger appliances.
The staircase rises to the large first floor landing. A window overlooking the front aspect provides ample natural light for the home office/study area. Three of the five bedrooms are located here. There is also a family bathroom and separate WC, very typical of houses built in this period.
The principal bedroom is stunning! Sumptuous and perfectly appointed with William Morris 'Golden Lily' wallpaper, picture rails and a wonderful feature cast-iron fireplace with original Edwardian tiles.
Bedroom two is decorated in William Morris 'Brer Rabbit' wallpaper and bedroom three in William Morris 'Acorn', both have the benefit of picture rails and feature fireplaces.
The family bathroom is beautifully appointed with Lincrusta Edwardian Dado frieze and has the benefit of a lovely Vernon Tutbury cast-iron roll-top claw foot bathtub. The separate WC is decorated to match.
All of the rooms on this floor have working butler's bells.
A second flight of stairs rises to the second floor where there are another two large bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The south-west facing rear garden is an oasis of tranquillity.
