THE PROPERTY
Each of the three levels offer there own distinct style and ambiance, blending two principal design influences to create a unique interior aesthetic. The first draws on the home's Period Victorian charm, as evidenced by the supreme ceiling heights, elegant wood panelling, and original timber sash windows, while bespoke chevron parquet floors add a contemporary touch.
The modern styling includes floor-to-ceiling Crittall-style doors, a fully integrated kitchen with underfloor heating, and stunning Mandarin Stone marble tiling. Custom-designed fittings are found throughout the property.
GROUND FLOOR - Upon entering, you are greeted by two spacious reception rooms, one of which boasts a striking original fireplace. Both receptions are full of natural light, with large bay windows and wooden flooring, providing an ideal setting for entertaining guests or relaxing with family. The receptions features double-glazed timber-framed sash windows and a calming lime-washed colour palette, lending a warm and inviting atmosphere. A bespoke feature wall has been meticulously crafted and recessed into the wall to include compartments for entertainment units and ample concealed storage.
The ground floor also showcases a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area—the largest of its kind in the neighbourhood. This space is bathed in natural light from three expansive skylights and two sliding Crittall-style doors that open onto the landscaped garden. The German-engineered Nobilia kitchen boasts floor-to-ceiling units, a Smeg double oven and grill, a full-height Smeg fridge, and a separate full-height freezer.

Natural light floods each room, accentuating their distinctive and thoughtfully curated colour schemes. High ceilings enhance the sense of openness, making these rooms ideal for displaying favourite artwork or adding creative storage solutions.
The en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom is a true showstopper, boasting an exceptional finish. Rarely are bathrooms described as spectacular, but this one certainly fits the bill! With Mandarin Stone marble flooring and walls, the bathroom radiates luxury. A Lusso Stone freestanding bathtub invites relaxation, while the ceramic sink, complete with a sleek vanity unit, offers ample storage. The shower enclosure is lined with elegant, fluted tiles, adding a touch of modern sophistication.
