The home opens with an entrance lobby leading into a spacious reception hall. The ground floor is designed for both family life and entertaining. The principal drawing room features a marble fireplace, a walk-in bay window, and period cornicing. A separate sitting room offers a more intimate family space, or could be used as a formal dining room or a playroom as the double doors provide a direct connection to the kitchen and dining area.

The heart of the home is the bespoke shaker-style kitchen, fully equipped with integrated Miele appliances, a hot water tap, and a practical breakfast bar for casual morning meals. The adjacent dining area is generously proportioned to accommodate both formal dinner parties and everyday family dining, with double doors opening onto the rear terrace to facilitate a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

Practicality is prioritized with a dedicated utility room, a wet room/WC, and a separate boot room. The boot room provides secure storage for outdoor gear and features an external door for convenient access to the front of the property. Additionally, the house includes cellar space for extra storage.

The upper floors are organized to balance shared family areas with private retreats. The first floor comprises four large bedrooms and a family bathroom. The second floor offers two further bedrooms, a versatile dressing room, and an additional shower room, ensuring ample space and flexibility for a growing family.

The property is approached from Christchurch Road via a wide, welcoming entrance that leads to a convenient off-street parking area. To the rear, a paved terrace extends along the width of the house, with steps down onto an area laid to lawn. A pathway leads to the bottom of the garden passing flower and vegetable beds. Fully enclosed by attractive perimeter walls, the garden provides great space for families and outdoor entertaining.
