## Description

There is a quiet confidence to this house. Nothing feels overdone, yet almost every part of it has been carefully reconsidered.

The current owners approached the renovation with as much attention to how the house would function as how it would look. Every alteration has been made with daily life in mind, from bespoke storage and carefully reworked layouts to the considered use of colour and materials. The result is a home that feels composed without ever feeling precious – somewhere designed to be lived in, not simply admired.

Extending to just over 1,350 sq ft across four floors, the house benefits from two separate entrances, adding another layer of flexibility to an already adaptable layout.

The lower ground floor is centred around an open-plan kitchen and dining room, where bi-folding doors open directly onto the garden. Rather than replacing the kitchen, the current owners chose to transform it by updating the cabinetry, redesigning the oven housing, upgrading the island and installing new appliances, proving that thoughtful changes can often be more effective than starting again. Underfloor heating runs throughout the entire lower ground floor, adding another layer of comfort to this sociable living space. Beyond the dining area, a substantial built-in storage room has been discreetly incorporated into the layout, providing an invaluable place for coats, shoes, dog-walking essentials and everything else that rarely has a natural home.

Outside, the garden feels wonderfully established. Mature planting softens the boundaries, a gently flowing water feature provides a subtle soundtrack, and there is ample room for outdoor dining while remaining easy to maintain. It is a peaceful space that feels remarkably secluded for such a central location.

The ground floor has a different character. At the front, the bay-fronted sitting room looks onto the street, while a second reception room at the rear enjoys leafy views across the garden. Used together, they create a series of connected spaces that can adapt to different moments in the day, whether entertaining friends, reading quietly or settling down for the evening. The television has been neatly built into the chimney breast, allowing the room to remain centred around conversation rather than technology.

For anyone needing an additional bedroom, many neighbouring houses retain the original wall between the two reception rooms, making it straightforward to reinstate a generous front bedroom if required.

To the rear of the ground floor, a WC and utility room continue the practical thinking found throughout the house. A cleverly concealed drying area allows laundry to dry out of sight, keeping the everyday necessities of family life tucked away without compromising the clean, uncluttered feel of the interiors. Underfloor heating also extends into this space, making it practical as well as comfortable throughout the year.

The first floor is home to a generous double bedroom finished in rich blue tones that create an immediate sense of calm. Bespoke wardrobes with automatic lighting provide extensive storage, while the chimney breast has been subtly extended to comfortably accommodate a super king bed without disrupting the room's proportions.

Across the landing, the exquisite bathroom has been finished with microcement floors and walls, soft pink tiling, underfloor heating, a freestanding bath and a separate walk-in shower. It feels spacious, tactile and quietly luxurious, with a carefully restrained palette allowing the materials to take centre stage.

The second floor forms an entirely self-contained suite. Bespoke storage has been carefully built into the eaves, while the en-suite shower room is finished with crisp white metro tiles beneath a Velux window that frames nothing more than the changing sky. Whether used as the principal bedroom or guest accommodation, it offers welcome privacy from the floors below.

Throughout the house, the improvements are as significant as they are thoughtful. It has been redecorated inside and out, the property has been completely rewired, the bathrooms replaced, the kitchen carefully updated and new windows installed to the front reception room. Significant roofing works have also been completed, including the complete stripping and recovering of the dormer roof with new waterproofing and insulation, while the main roof has benefited from renewed flashing and replacement of any damaged tiles. Together, these improvements create a home where the hard work has already been done, allowing the next owners to simply enjoy living here.
