Completely different in height and style from other houses on the road, the house was built in the 1930s in the long front garden of a cottage, now accessed via a rear laneway. As the 1,600 sq ft redbrick property was built after the adjoining Victorian houses on both sides, walls are of a double thickness and are particularly sound-proof. The present owners have renovated the house, installing a new kitchen, rewiring and retiling the roof. A bright study to the front of the house is used as a home office. Across the hall, the sittingroom has deep prewar style coving, a box bay window and a marble fireplace fairly recently installed.
Double doors lead to a diningroom, which has French doors to a paved terrace.
The kitchen is probably the most stylish room in the house, with ash units, a quarry-tiled floor and dark ceiling beams. A tiled fireplace discovered when the new kitchen was being installed is fitted with a cast iron wood-burning stove. Upstairs, three of the four bedrooms are doubles and the fourth is a good-sized single. There is a full en suite bathroom off the main bedroom and the family bathroom has a separate power shower. Outside, steps lead to a 60 ft back garden.
