Property Description

2 Afton Terrace is a beautifully proportioned Victorian home, entered via a private front garden and into a welcoming vestibule that opens into a spacious reception hall. Off the hall are useful storage cupboards and a box room, ideal for use as a study or home office.

To the front of the house lies a superb south-facing living room, featuring an elegant bay window, attractive cornicing, and a central fireplace which forms the focal point of the room.

To the rear of the property lies a well-appointed, open plan kitchen / dining room, offering an ideal space for modern family living and entertaining. The area is filled with natural light and provides direct access to the garden through double doors, as well as secondary access via the utility room.

The kitchen is fitted with fully integrated appliances and offers excellent preparation and storage space, creating a perfect environment for cooking and socialising simultaneously.

At the rear, the utility room offers additional practicality, featuring a washer, sink, and also provides direct access to the back garden. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a shower room with a washbasin and WC.

An attractive staircase with a roof light overhead leads to the first floor, where there are four well-proportioned bedrooms. To the front, the principal bedroom enjoys a delightful south-facing bay window, while a further bedroom at the front also benefits from the same sunny aspect. To the rear are two good-sized double bedrooms overlooking the garden, offering a peaceful outlook.

Centrally positioned is a family bathroom, complete with a separate shower and a roof light providing natural light. There is also a useful hall cupboard providing additional storage.

The rear garden is relatively compact, but enjoys afternoon and evening sun during the summer months. It is largely laid to lawn with mature borders providing colour and privacy. A garage, accessed via a lane to the rear, offers excellent storage, and adjoining it is a converted area currently used as a home office, featuring a window allowing the space to be flooded with natural light.
