The Property:
This late Victorian house has stylish accommodation and is set behind a wall to the front, with a traditional front door under a canopied porch and behind striking red brick elevations under a slate roof with inset windows and sash openers. The front door opens into an entrance vestibule which, in turn, opens into the dining room which has a window to the front elevation onto North View with a traditional fireplace and fitted bookshelves. To the back of the ground floor is the kitchen which is fitted with a basic range of units and a sash window that looks out over the rooftops of Fulflood. The lower ground floor is undoubtedly the heart of the house and is a very spacious double reception room with a pair of French doors that open to the front lightwell and a window and door that opens to the rear garden. This room will provide a cooler space in summer and has the benefit of a fitted 'Jetmaster' fire for those cosier winter evenings, this room has a fitted wood floor and bookshelves. The first floor has two bedrooms; the larger to the front has a fitted wardrobe and again a pretty fireplace and views towards the Arbour, whilst the second has a walk in wardrobe and perhaps the best views over the rooftops of Fulflood, Peter Symonds playing fields and beyond. A bathroom serves the bedrooms. Outside there is a covered terraced area from the sitting room which provides access to a WC/Utility and a path with steps winds down the garden which is a good size and brimming with flowers and shrubs, there is also a wooden garden shed. On street parking can be located to the front on North View.
