The tiled path and front entrance porch with its ornate original Victorian tiles sets the scene, and stepping into the house, you're welcomed into a generous hallway with a beautifully restored, original tiled floor. Two generous reception rooms can be found off the hallway, both with lovingly preserved original fireplaces. A wonderful stripped pine staircase, with original balustrade, newel post and spindles leads the eye upstairs.

High ceilings and beautifully preserved cornicing make this a delightful room, which would make a tranquil and relaxing retreat. Double doors lead onto a charming Victorian potting gallery, with original wooden shelving tailor-made made for growing your own tomatoes and strawberries.
The heart of this splendid home is most definitely the kitchen., which mixes rustic charm with modern functionality. Taking centre stage is the exposed brick chimney breast with a stunning pale blue range cooker, which infuses the kitchen with a delightful nostalgic feel.
Surrounding the range, thoughtfully designed cabinets provide ample storage while maintaining period charm. With a central breakfast bar and work space, the kitchen balances form and function, ensuring every utensil has its place. Under the large double glazed window, a window seat with drawers offers a spot for morning coffee as well as valuable storage. One of the kitchen's hidden gems is the under stairs cupboard - a clever use of space transformed into the perfect pantry. This built-in storage is ideal for keeping dry goods, preserves, and kitchen essentials neatly tucked away yet accessible. Alternatively, it's great for coats, shoes or cleaning tools.
Through the kitchen we find the most charming scullery which would make the perfect utility room or breakfast area. With an original terracotta tiled floor and Belfast sink, this space has a host of possibilities. Flooded with light by a large window and with painted brick walls, it really is a delightful space.
Upstairs the period features continue, with the impressive split level landing having beautifully preserved exposed floorboards and a Victorian balastrade and spindles. A large original fitted cupboard on the landing provides valuable storage space, and even has the original wallpaper inside, its Victorian-era craftsmanship adding another layer of authenticity to the house.
The house boasts three generously sized bedrooms, each a testament to the property's period charm and thoughtful preservation. The principal bedroom with its generous proportions and original floorboards also has a handsome original fireplace serving as a stunning focal point. High ceilings adorned with original cornicing create a sense of airiness and grandeur, while two windows look over the tree lined street and flood the space with natural light,
The second spacious bedroom also features an original fireplace, panelled door and period floorboards. The room can easily accommodate a double bed and additional furniture, making it perfect for guests or as a spacious children's room. The large window not only brightens the space but also offers lovely views of the garden and surrounding neighbourhood.
The third bedroom continues the home's signature style with its own set of exposed original floorboards, and a pretty cast iron fireplace, creating a cohesive feel throughout the upper floor. This versatile space could serve as a comfortable bedroom, a home office, or a cosy nursery.
