"Calliope" is a substantial, semi detached, four bedroom Victorian home over three floors with far reaching views to the rear over nearby woodland. The property has been extensively modernised & extended to create well proportioned, adaptable accommodation and is presented to a high standard. The plot is generously proportioned with a westerly rear garden extending to 127 ft in depth with a stone terrace adjoining the property enjoying the views, and a large timber outbuilding to the rear, ideal as a home office.

The accommodation comprises on the ground floor of a spacious entrance porch, a central dining hall, two separate receptions, kitchen/breakfast room and a refitted shower room with a double size cubicle & underfloor heating. The sitting room is to the front with a deep bay window and a cast iron fireplace fitted with a gas living flame coal effect fire. The second reception room is very impressive, currently used as a day room, measuring 21'8 x 12'8 with sliding patio doors leading out to the rear terrace, a vaulted ceiling and a grand brick inglenook fireplace with cast iron log burning stove. The kitchen/breakfast room is comprehensively fitted with cherrywood style units with ample space for all appliances.

On the first floor are three of the bedrooms, two doubles and a single, a landing with built-in cupboards and the main bathroom which has been refitted with a white suite, is fully tiled and has underfloor heating. Turned stairs lead up to the second floor and bedroom four which is another double, is triple aspect with far reaching views, and has undereaves & built-in cupboards.

Other benefits include updated electrics, gas fired central heating, smooth ceilings, plain walls and white panelled internal doors.

Another advantage is there is no onward chain.
