The "Dudleys" is a highly regarded collection of streets within the sought after area of Trinity and this beautiful terraced home is a wonderful example of a property within it. The house spans two light filled floors. The elegant period features stylishly combine with tasteful, contemporary decor creating practical modern spaces with personality.
Once through the entrance vestibule, the property opens onto the hall with an impressive stair, filled with light coming down from the striking large cupola at the top of the house. The bay windowed sitting room offers fine cornices, a ceiling rose, wooden panelling, stripped & sanded floors along with an open press shelf, whilst a gorgeous fireplace with a solid wood mantlepiece is a delightful focal point in the room. The attractive family room to the rear of the house has a log burner, perfect for winter months and another beautiful floor in addition to fitted shelving.
Flooded with natural light from three sides, the dining kitchen is fitted with contemporary blue wall and base mounted units, with an integrated 5 ring gas hob and eye level double oven. A handy utliity room is located off the kitchen. The fully glazed door gives access to the rear garden, perfect for enjoying the outdoors with a morning cup of tea in good weather.
At ground floor level there is a generous double bedroom with beautiful oak panelling and an ornately decorated fireplace with tiled insert. Double doors open onto the rear garden. A stunning showeroom with walk-in rainfall shower and sophisticated wall & floor tiling is also located here.
The first floor has four bedrooms, led by the impressive, bay windowed master bedroom with yet more lovely period features, fitted wardrobes and an open press shelf. There are two spacious double bedrooms to the rear of the house, whilst the final bedroom can either be utilised as a 5th bedroom or study (as the current owners have). A family bathroom with a white suite (with shower over the bath) has yet more natural light from a skylight overhead.
There are delightful, enclosed front and rear gardens, with established planting and paving/chippings. Unrestricted parking is available on the street outside.
