How Does A House With This Kitchen And Those Bathrooms Still Have Something More Exciting To Reveal? A gorgeous island, a built-in coffee machine, two matching modern bathrooms - and a versatile double garage that will get you thinking… Property ref: KD0516

Some houses give you one reason to fall for them. This one keeps adding more reasons, saving its best surprise for last.

Downstairs starts with the sort of traditional reception rooms a period terrace should have. There’s a bay-fronted living room to sit and unwind in and a dining room next door for anything from a quick breakfast to a proper Sunday lunch with everyone round the table.

Then you reach the modern fitted kitchen, and the whole feel of the house changes gear.

The island anchors the room, with an induction hob and built-in extraction so you're not fighting steam while something simmers. A proper coffee machine is already plumbed in, along with twin ovens and a microwave combi that takes care of everything else.

Glass sliding doors pull the courtyard style back yard straight into the room, so cooking and eating outside feels like one continuous space.

Just off the kitchen, the four-piece bathroom is finished to the same high spec, managing to squeeze in a large walk-in shower and a modern freestanding bath.

And then there's the garage. Usually dismissed as a practical aside, this double garage is a real selling point. It measures 9m by 6m, big enough for two large cars with room to spare, plus a dedicated utility area with plumbing already in place.

It gives you the chance to create a workshop, a home gym or simply somewhere to securely store your pride and joy (or two) with space to actually open the doors.

Upstairs, two double bedrooms and a single all keep the period proportions and high ceilings you'd hope for from a house this age. There’s also a separate (and equally stylish) shower room, meaning you don’t have to stumble down the stairs in the middle of the night if you need the loo.

It's about a 15 minute walk to Morton Park, with the countryside just a 5 minute drive away (on the other side of the link road) for a proper weekend walk. Heading into town takes less than 10 minutes by car, or around 15 minutes on the bus.

If you've been searching for a period home where the kitchen and bathrooms have already been done to a superb standard this will be hard to beat. Add in a double garage gives you options and you’ll understand why I’m expecting plenty of interest in this one, so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
