Description
To the west of Grove Road, this handsome home combines the best of old and new, with warming palettes of earthy greens collaborating with stripped blonde wood and ornate fireplaces forming the ideal backdrop for new, modern bright spaces.
Renovated from top-to-toe by the current owners, you can tell every last touch has been carefully considered and planned, where every piece of character has been salvaged ready to be mixed with sympathetically modern features.
What is unusual about this home is the overall width, being slightly wider than average you are very pleasantly greeted with a beautifully wide entrance hall which equally transfers up to the landing. Cosy and seductive, the front room has clearly been styled to be a space where you can recline and unwind. The bay window dressed in bespoke shutters adds a calming backdrop to the log-burning stove, whilst the picture rails give a welcoming nod to the historical bones of this home.
Sweeping round the unusual curve of the hallway, past the thoughtfully added ground floor shower room, you step into vastly modern elevations which propel this once ordinary home into a whole new level.
Complete with two large skylights in the vaulted ceiling, the kitchen-dining-snug area ticks all the boxes, bright, sociable, beautiful and perfectly finished with that all important indoor-outdoor flow to the terrace and landscaped gardens beyond.
Climbing upwards, the large landing space greets you first, again adding a huge sense of space as you move around this entire home. Beautifully finished similar to the shower room downstairs, upstairs the bath room gives a great alternative and somewhere to shut away the world whilst you enjoy a good soak in the tub. The two double bedrooms are both a really good size and both feature pretty ornate fireplaces, more thoughtful features retained just like the stripped pine doors. The third bedroom is a very generous single room which equally leads from the landing. The proportions up here would definitely lend their selves to lead further expansion into the loft, subject to the relevant permissions of course.

Outside...
Some houses are simply just really handsome and Gainsborough certainly ticks the curb appeal box. An immaculate gated garden frames the front of this home, with an access passage way to the side which leads to the rear garden.
Landscaped with ease in mind with beautifully woven pathways and terraces, the borders have been shingled with space to place plenty of pretty pots and planters. The large timber outbuilding whilst currently used for storage could equally serve as a great work from home hub or a great summer house to enjoy.
Franks Thoughts...
Whilst we always have a penchant for a little bit of character, the blend of old and new never ceases to fill us with joy at Frank. Whilst the location is an obvious plus to this home, it’s the significant remodel and attention to the detail throughout the renovation that has really stolen our hearts with this one.
