Property description

THE PROPERTY Rowboro House is an impressive Victorian detached family home which is finished to a high standard throughout, offering modern yet characterful accommodation.



On entering the property is an internal porch that opens to the imposing entrance hall which features wooden panelling, parquet flooring and centres around a hand crafted staircase made from Columbian pine. The sitting room is of generous proportions with a Victorian-style fireplace with wood burning stove inset and patio doors to the garden. The Amdega conservatory leads from the sitting room and has underfloor heating and doors opening to the garden. There is a separate dining room, which has windows to two elevations, oak parquet flooring and a fireplace with log burner. Located behind the staircase is a store room which could lend itself to being a small study. There is also a cloakroom with WC and wash basin. To the rear is a kitchen/dining room which has a range of solid wood floor and wall mounted units with inset Belfast sink and both granite and wooden work surfaces, incorporating integrated appliances including an oven with electric hob, microwave, grill, dishwasher, washing machine and fridge/freezer and a freestanding gas-fired Aga. The kitchen is open to a dining area which leads to the rear hallway that has a door to the garden and links the main property with the garage and annexe accommodation.



To the first floor are four double bedrooms, the master having a dressing area with fitted wardrobes and recently installed modern en suite shower room, which has a high quality suite, including walk-in shower cubicle, circular wash basin and WC. The remaining three bedrooms are all of good proportions, with one having a built-in store cupboard and one with a feature fireplace. The family bathroom has been fitted with a Victorian-style suite comprising a freestanding roll top bath, high flush WC and ornate wash basin. Also on the first floor is an unusual laundry room, which houses the boiler but also provides a great deal of storage and hanging space.



Adjacent to the property is a double garage which has two up-and-over doors, power and light connected and has access to the house. To the rear of the garage is an annexe which has been part-completed with first-fix electrics and some plumbing in place. The current configuration allows for a kitchen and separate living space on the ground floor with a large bedroom and the space to create a bathroom on the first floor. The annexe can be accessed through the garage or via its own door opening to the garden.



Outside, the property is nestled within a generous plot of circa 0.5 acre. To the front are attractive lawns and a gravelled parking area leading to the garage. The lawn leads to the side of the house and is bordered by mature trees and shrubs. To the rear is a patio area with raised beds and dwarf-walled surround. This opens up to an expanse of lawn which has mature tree and shrub borders surrounding a greenhouse with flower and vegetable beds. There is also an attractive stone outbuilding that was believed to be the original wash-house for the street and features a fireplace, which we understand is still in working order.
