Set in a sought-after tree lined avenue, close to Highams Park Village, this lovely Edwardian-style five bedroom family home offers the perfect combination of original and modern features.

Tastefully refurbished to a high standard, you will see that this home is packed with character, from the moment you set foot into the elegant hallway with its corniced ceiling, and beautiful etched glass door.

The warm and inviting front lounge is the first of three downstairs reception rooms, with a solid oak wood floor, bay sash windows and a beautiful period marble fireplace with alcoves either side. There is a second sitting room to the rear of the property which also has ornate ceiling mouldings, a period fireplace and French doors opening onto the rear garden which fill the room with natural light.

The dining room is ideal for family meals or entertaining. Also boasting a period fireplace and corniced ceilings, the dining room has two steps up to link with the kitchen.

The stylish kitchen has been beautifully refurbished with contemporary ‘Leicht’ fitted units finished in golden maple, granite worktops and, at its heart, a ‘Smeg Opera’ stainless steel range-style cooker with double oven and grill and stainless steel canopy.

The limestone tiled floor has underfloor heating to keep the room cosy and there is also a part-glazed door leading to the garden.

Upstairs three of the five good-sized bedrooms have period fireplaces and all have sash windows. The family bathroom has been beautifully fitted with a period-style suite including a free-standing roll-top bath with claw feet. It also has a tiled floor and half tiled walls and a separate shower cubicle.

For even more space, it is worth noting that plans have been submitted for a loft extension with en-suite shower room.

To the rear of the property is a fantastic garden with a raised patio and steps leading to the lawn and mature borders with shrubs and flowers. There is also a brick built shed for added storage, while to the front of the property, the block paved driveway provides parking for several cars.

This lovely property is priced at £695,000 freehold and is offered for sale by W J Mead estate agents. To find out more or to arrange to view the property, please contact W J Mead Estate Agents on 020 8531 5454.
