Lane & Bennetts are pleased to offer this charming, Grade II listed, early Garden City property overlooking a green, designed in 1905 by renowned Architects Messrs Parker & Unwin, lovingly maintained and upgraded by the current vendors who have combined much original character with sympathetic modern convenience of a high specification.

Originally a three bedroom cottage, now converted expertly to a two bedroom with extensive fitted wardrobes and further first floor bathroom. The entrance hall leads through a custom oak door to the bright sitting room, where reclaimed oak flooring compliments the Fired Earth tiling of the feature fireplace with wood burning stove.

A custom oak door leads through to the spacious kitchen/dining area - the heartbeat of the house with an ample range of bespoke fitted units, marble work surfaces, built in dishwasher, dual fuel &quote;Rangemaster&quote; cooker with Fired Earth tiled splash back, part glazed atrium, reclaimed oak flooring with door to a utility area with plumbing for washing machine and useful storage space, a further door leads to the pretty &quote;English country garden&quote;.

There is a large ground floor bathroom with roll top bath with separate enclosed shower cubicle with Bristan Trinity thermostatic shower and marble tiling.

A door in the sitting room leads to the half turn staircase to the first floor, where the main bedroom enjoys panoramic views of the green, and extensive built in wardrobes, while the second bedroom looks out to the rear garden and wooded copse beyond. A clever shower room with walk in shower, WC and hand basin has been modelled to a high standard with marble tiling. The roomy loft with pull down ladder is fully boarded, insulated with light & power for ample storage or alternative use (STP)

Externally, the property benefits from a block paved driveway for valuable off road parking to the front, and the landscaped fully fenced rear garden has two sheds, one of which has a log store, with gated access to the wooded spinney beyond. Noteworthy further works include replacement hard wood double glazed windows throughout, a replacement pitched & tiled roof to the extension with glazed atrium, and bespoke re-fitted kitchen. Gas fired central heating and re-wired throughout. Viewing is of course highly recommended!
