Heritage Home

At the end of this charming row, you'll find No. 12, a striking home crafted from coursed and squared watershot stone. Its entrance is graced by a rounded arch, adorned with a decorative keystone, and a fanlight above.

The living room is bathed in natural light, courtesy of double-height sash windows adorned with bespoke shutters that not only function practically but also serve as a distinctive feature, framing the windows when opened wide.

Enhancing the inviting ambiance of this room, a gas fireplace, nestled within a pristine white surround, exudes warmth, while underfoot, oak flooring extends a timeless charm. Cast iron radiators in a heritage style contribute to the overall atmosphere. This is a home perfectly attuned to the seasons – in winter, it invites cosy gatherings by the fire, with the oak floor and oak staircase serving as the ideal backdrop for festive decorations, creating a warm, grotto-like atmosphere. In spring and summer, the abundant windows flood the rooms with natural light, creating a bright and airy appeal.

Classic Features With A Contemporary Twist

Opening up to the dining room beyond, the fresh, clean, modern cottage décor offers a twist on classic sophistication. Together, yet zoned to provide pockets of privacy, flow through to the dining room, where the same double height sash box windows with custom shutters provide a sneak preview of the private garden.

The room's focal point is a multi-fuel burner that captures your attention, complemented by a Scandinavian touch with its dove grey tiling and minimalist walls. Above the dining table, a trio of pendant lights cluster together, casting a warm and ambient glow over the surroundings. Throughout, white cast iron heritage radiators maintain the balance between contemporary quality and respectful preservation of the home's character.

Light fills the open-plan space from the front window in the morning, passing through the gable wall window and eventually through the rear window in the dining room, framing different aspects of the rooms and highlighting tones within the oak flooring as the day passes.

Through the archway toward the rear of the house, the kitchen floor is graced with warming tiles, courtesy of the efficient underfloor heating system. The kitchen itself offers ample storage, featuring rich walnut-coloured cabinetry. It is thoughtfully equipped with a range of modern amenities, including an oven and a gas hob complete with an overhead extractor fan, an integrated dishwasher, and a fridge and freezer.

Under the well-placed undercabinet lighting, the white Metro tiling gleams, providing a clean and luminous backdrop.
