A stunning Four-bedroom Victorian terraced property set with an elevated position with views over the countryside towards Waskerley and the Derwent Valley.

This stone-built property was formally a manse and is bursting with original period features. There is an enclosed garden to the front of the property.

As you step inside this gorgeous home you will be initially struck by the spacious vestibule, with period panelling and a glazed internal door with sidelights, that allow the natural light to flow into the inner hall. The hallway has statement original decorative architrave, there is also a large under-stairs storage cupboard, and a spindled balustrade lines the stairs to the first floor.

The lounge is spacious, with high ceilings, traditional coving and an ornate ceiling rose. The bay window lets in a flow of light, and a log burner (installed in the last few years) with a beautiful mantle and tiled fireplace sets the room as a cosy sanctuary for enjoying colder evenings. There are two inner windows which allow light to flow between the lounge and the dining room.
The dining room is situated at the rear of the property, and you will be amazed by the beautiful William Morris paper, which drenches the walls of this large space. There is also a beautiful chandelier which is to remain, which further implements a feeling of grandeur.

The kitchen comprises a selection of wall and base cabinetry, and a newly fitted ceramic farmhouse sink. Beyond the kitchen, there is a rear porch boot room, which then leads onto the ground floor toilet. Externally there is a large, wall enclosed, private yard, with ample space for seating and an outside tap. The garage is accessed via the yard, and the door is topped with a traditional porch canopy, adding to the charm of this beautiful space. The garage has a manual up-and-over door, and has electricity supply and lighting.

To the first floor, there is a split-level landing, you are initially met with the separate W.C, the walls of which are lined with a beautiful statement wallpaper. Beyond the W.C. there is the beautiful family bathroom. The family bathroom is a true sanctuary, with a spa-like feel. There is a marble-topped vanity sink basin, and a bath with an electric shower over. The black fixtures and fittings create a feeling of classic sophistication.

To the rear of the property, over the garage, there is a room which is currently utilised as a bedroom, but which we believe is marked as a playroom/office on the deeds. Up to the top landing, you will be greeted by a large landing with a spacious panelled storage cupboard. A skylight allows natural light to flood into the landing and stairs. The smaller of the bedrooms has full wall shelving, which could be ideal for displaying an extensive book collection.

The main bedroom to the front of the property also benefits from the countryside views and has sliding door wardrobes and features beautiful Sanderson Vintage Rose wallpaper. Finally, you reach a further bedroom which has an original cast iron fireplace feature and also houses the Baxi ECO combi boiler.
This property has been greatly improved during our vendor's ownership, investing in new UPVC Sash Windows, works to the electrics and heating, in addition to the luxurious bathroom, and further cosmetic improvements.
