A handsome period terrace on the popular Knighton Church Road in South Knighton, newly refurbished throughout to offer five bedrooms over three floors, a stylish open-plan living kitchen, three bath and shower rooms and an enclosed rear garden.
Approached via a pathway through a low brick wall, the property presents an attractive and well-proportioned period frontage. The front door, surmounted by a transom window, opens into the entrance hallway where the quality of the refurbishment is immediately apparent.
To the front of the ground floor, the principal reception room is a generous and elegant space, featuring a traditional bay window which draws natural light into the room and a period fireplace which serves as a handsome focal point. This is a versatile and well-proportioned room suited to both formal and informal use.
To the rear, the open-plan living kitchen is undoubtedly the centrepiece of the property. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully appointed, this sociable space runs the full width of the house and benefits from underfloor heating, high quality fixtures and fittings throughout, and direct access to the rear garden. It is a room that lends itself naturally to family life and entertaining in equal measure.
Beyond the kitchen, a dedicated utility room provides valuable additional storage and laundry facilities, keeping the main living spaces uncluttered and well-organised. To the rear of the utility, a ground floor shower room serves the property with practicality and convenience.
The rear garden is a private and well-screened outdoor space, enclosed by mature evergreen hedging and established trees which provide year-round seclusion. A substantial paved patio sits immediately to the rear of the property, providing an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Outbuildings to one side offer useful additional storage, while beyond the patio the garden extends to lawn, presenting excellent scope for further landscaping in accordance with personal preference.
Ascending to the first floor, the property comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms together with a family bathroom and a separate shower room, all finished to the same high standard as the ground floor. The principal bedroom benefits from a private en-suite facility, and underfloor heating is installed throughout all bathrooms in the property.
The second floor provides two further bedrooms, quiet and well-removed from the principal living areas below. These rooms offer considerable flexibility, lending themselves to use as additional guest accommodation, a dedicated home office, or a private suite for older children as requirements dictate.
