The Indoors

The striking Edwardian façade of the terrace is defined by an ornate stucco dressing and ornate woodwork rests under the second storey small bay. The slightly raised entrance sits within a portico along a tiled pathway. A communal entryway leads to a wide lobby, where the front door is situated.

Upon entering the hallway, the primary bedroom lies adjacent. Large paned windows sit within a bay, overlooking the tree-lined street while bathing the room in natural light. Tall ceilings and high shelving unit enhance a sense of volume with original fireplace creating a focal point for the room.

Entering the second bedroom, your eyes are immediately drawn to the wonderful Edwardian bay with leaded windows and Edwardian French doors opening onto the landscaped garden. Original Wooden flooring can be found underfoot with a wonderful centre piece fireplace complementing the period charm.

The main living and kitchen areas lie at the rear. Arguably the heart of the home, the eye is drawn to the impressive Crittall windows that stretch the breadth of the wall, framing the picturesque garden. The open plan area flows seamlessly into the kitchen, which features a palette of timber, duck egg blue cabinetry and gold fixtures with stained flooring underfoot.

Positioned off the flowing entrance hall with original Edwardian tiling is the bathroom. The contemporary bright bathroom has been finished impeccably with gold fixtures and edging with a mix of porcelain tiles completing the look.
