The Property With origins believed to date to 1890, Craigside Shooters Hill exhibits distinctive elevations featuring an ornate bay window, segmental panes, decorative arched tops to apertures and a first floor balcony with balustrade, supported on metal columns. The reception hall leads into a drawing room where two sets of French doors afford picturesque views across to the river. Adjacent to the drawing room is a kitchen fitted with wall and base level units and with archways which open to the adjoining dining room. Ancillary space is provided by a utility room which incorporates shower facilities and a cloakroom, along with an external door to the side courtyard. There is access through to a conservatory/gym with exposed brick walls and glazing which gives an outlook to greenery alongside a flint and stone-block retaining wall. On the first floor, the principal bedroom features the bay window with a deep shelf offering a place to perch and enjoy the outlook to the river and countryside beyond. This room, and the family bathroom, both have doors giving access out onto the balcony which provides an ideal setting for a bistro table and chairs. There are two further bedrooms on the upper level, one of which might serve as an office for home-workers. The accommodation is presented with an incomplete refurbishment programme offering opportunities to undertake some additional up-dating to suit individual preferences and requirements.
