Generating an enviable example of modern life in a character property this semi-detached house is a beautiful family home with a wealth of versatility. In a prized location that’s perfect for anyone who loves to be within walking distance of schools, the mainline station or the coffee shops of the high street, it is impeccably styled from top to toe.

A palette of soft subtle hues brings calm and cohesion to a succession of light filled rooms and the already good dimensions can be extended further into the loft giving you ample chance to add an extra bedroom, living space or home office (stnc).

With the quintessential fish scale patterns of its hung tiles, a classic bay facade sits back from Upper Queen Street giving an instant sense of the property’s heritage and history. Follow the gated path to the side of the house and you’ll find the high arched curved of a covered doorway.

Once inside, the stained glass of the doorway gives a dash of refined colour to the white walls and warm neutral tones of a central hallway unfolding to either side onto a duo of exceptional reception rooms.

With a wood burner nestling in the fireplace and fitted bench seating within the wide square bay of the windows, an exemplary sitting room gives you room to breathe. The beautiful pared-back aesthetic makes it effortlessly easy for your shoulders to relax, crisp white window shutters have been sympathetically chosen and while picture rails wrap-around above you, the Shaker cabinetry and floating shelves of the chimney breast alcoves blend seamlessly in.

The warming balance of the wood laminate floors continues across the hallway in a double aspect dining room. Its generous dimensions make it ideal for everyday life as well as evenings spent catching up with friends and easily accommodate a play/study area or simply somewhere to sit in a favourite chair with a morning coffee. The fireplace adds space for candles, storage or wine, while a glazed timber framed door enhances the flow of light and space further still taking you into a double aspect kitchen where French doors entice you out onto the decking of a part walled garden.

A wealth of tastefully chosen Shaker cabinetry stretches out before you in a galley layout that gives a fabulous amount of storage and workspace. Stylish and ultimately user friendly, this accomplished space is fully fitted with integrated appliances such as Bosch tower ovens, a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer and range gas hob. Pull out pantry storage demonstrates an attention to detail and the French doors fill the space with views of the garden letting it become a fluid continuation of the house.

Providing plenty of handy hidden storage, deep cupboards sit tucked away beneath the classic elegance of a turning staircase that takes you up to the lovely landing of the first floor. It’s here that a gently split level design subtly gives delineated space and privacy to the restful main bedroom where further bay windows are furnished with shutters and a broad chimney breast alcove supplies the perfect spot for large freestanding wardrobes.

A double aspect second bedroom has the added benefit of fitted Shaker door wardrobes. The rose blush hues of its accent chimney breast are matched by tasteful wall panelling that continues in a large single bedroom that’s currently a fabulous home office.

Together this trio of rooms share a deluxe family bathroom where a fantastic Crittall screen frames a bath that has an overhead waterfall shower.

The French doors of the kitchen open to allow a part walled rear garden play an integral part of your daily life. Designed to be both easy to maintain and hugely inviting, the main decked space enjoys an L-shaped border of mature shrubs and leafy foliage. Fitted bench platform seating makes it simple to just step out, sit and take time out at any given moment and there is plenty of space to enjoy al fresco drinks and dining. To the side a pebbled area generates the ideal spot to position a barbeque and leads past a painted timber shed to a secure side gate that lets friends join you directly in the sunshine rather than going through the house.
