Eden Street

Features

Description

An utterly charming, upgraded, and extended Georgian town house that combines period character with versatile, modern spaces. This wonderful three/four-bedroom period property is set within a conservation area, and offers thoughtfully arranged accommodation across two floors, plus the bonus of a detached studio at the end of the delightful courtyard garden.

The property, secluded by flowering trees and established shrubs, is approached by a path through the front garden which is enclosed by a low brick wall and period wrought iron railings.

The entrance hall, featuring elegant checkered tiled flooring and a glazed inner door, leads to the large open-plan living and dining area – a wonderfully open room with large sash windows to the front. Here there are two fireplaces, one with a log burner. Bookshelves and cupboard space are neatly built into the alcoves to the side of the fireplaces.

At the rear, the delightful kitchen/breakfast room is flooded with light from a glazed gable and French doors that open directly to the courtyard garden. An Oriel window invites you to sit and enjoy the garden. The kitchen offers plenty of work surfaces, cupboard space as well as a twin sink, integrated appliances, and space for a family dining table. A door at the back of the dining room leads to the downstairs WC and cloakroom with washing machine and to the stairs.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom features a period fireplace, and fitted storage cupboards in the alcoves. A glazed door opens into a dressing room with a vaulted ceiling and views over the garden. This room could also be utilised as a nursery, occasional bedroom, or study. There are two further bedrooms with one featuring a mezzanine loft storage area. The well-appointed family bathroom includes a WC, sink, and a bath with an overhead shower.

The beautifully planted garden extends to around 25 ft and features a mature Indian bean tree, various fruit trees, a wildlife pond and a paved terrace for seating. At the end of the garden sits a detached and well insulated studio with tongue and groove mezzanine ceiling – a highly versatile addition with its own WC and shower room. The Internet to the studio is by cable to a CAT 6 link and could be ideal for use as a home office.

This is a delightfully charming Georgian home that has been wonderfully updated and improved by the current owner. Ecological upgrades include solar PV panels that were installed in 2022 with a total generation capability of 2.6 kW, a hybrid inverter, 4.8kWh battery storage, optimisers, Wi-Fi monitoring, and full MCS documentation.
