Beautifully positioned in this sought after avenue. This four/five bedroom, two bathroom Arts & Crafts period home handsomely wins. 

An idyllic meandering pathway beckons visitors past established trees and the Victorian statement garden house/conservatory. 

A sheltered front porch sets the opening scene. 

The entrance foyer with period staircase is the show piece of the home, juxpositioning theatrically on the upper floor with the modern stairwell to the attic enhancement. This welcoming lobby flows both to the formal living and kitchen/dining areas. 

Classically proportioned living spaces with a modernist open floor plan, these rooms thoughtfully nod to the home's era with elegant flow to a sheltered paved courtyard. 

The formal living space with feature open fire and gracious bay window has internal sliders if quiet family independence is sought. 

Anchoring the kitchen is the centralised bench. Large enough that several activities can be operating simultaneously... kitchen work space, drinks bar, servery or entertainer's delight. The open shelving is a clever and practical reminder of its heritage. 

The upper floor offers four double bedrooms and the modern staircase to the attic renovation that has flexibility as a separate lounge/ work from home space or fifth bedroom. 

Throughout, architectural excellence combines with a contemporary aesthetic that allows the existing Arts & Crafts features to shine. 

The home enjoys gas central heating, a soft colour palette and thoughtful furnishings. 

Creme de la Creme.
