Property description

Do you know what? I really like this house! From its original brass door knocker and letterbox, to the stained glass windows, dado rails, picture rails and Minton tiled floors, this lovely family home has it all. These features, along with up-dates in more recent years such as Everest secondary glazing to the original sash windows has resulted in a most comfortable family home that has been fastidiously maintained by the current owners. An internal inspection will thus be strongly rewarded and it is unlikely that this lovely property will hang around for long! Both the porch and spacious entrance hall have Minton tiled floors and the ironwork to the leaded light stained glass front door is of an ornate design, typical of homes from this era. There are two separate reception rooms, the front Sitting Room with its deep front-facing bay window having an oak fireplace incorporating a Clearview multi-fuel stove, which provides a welcoming warmth and glow during the winter months. The kitchen, with its range of base and wall cupboards, has been refitted, complete with a range-style cooker and there is a useful Sun Room to the rear of the house, currently used as a Dining Room. Upstairs, there are FOUR BEDROOMS, two having fitted wardrobes and the spacious family bathroom, with bidet, has an antique style Grohe shower unit over the bath, along with a glazed Daryl shower screen. Outside, there is yet another noteworthy feature in the form of the rear garden. Not only is it long (and not directly overlooked), but it is south facing and is thus a real sun trap during the summer months. It is part walled and fully enclosed with private side access. The house is well positioned for access into Whitchurch, there is a bus stop within walking distance and for those travelling by car, there is swift access to the bypass, for travel throughout a wide geographical area. In summary, Maple Leaf House possesses real character and charm; a home that will suit almost everyone.
