Boydens are pleased to bring to the market this four-bedroom semi-detached villa dating back to 1884, showcasing a wealth of period features combined with modern conveniences, including an open-plan kitchen/diner that overlooks the rear garden.

The property is accessed via a storm porch through a stained glass window front door into a well-proportioned hallway with stairs leading to the first floor and an under-stairs cupboard. To the right is the lounge, featuring a bay window and a central open fireplace. Adjacent to the lounge, the dining room also boasts an ornate fireplace and a rear window, providing a serene atmosphere. Continuing through the hallway, you arrive at a kitchen storage area with fitted storage units. This opens into the impressive kitchen/diner, complete with vaulted ceilings, French doors to the rear aspect, and base and eye-level units incorporating a sink, gas hob, electric fan-assisted oven, and space for a dishwasher and washing machine. A recently completed shower room completes the downstairs living space.

On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, all benefiting from cast iron fireplaces and generous light and space. These bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom featuring a shower over the bath, WC, and a vanity sink unit. The second floor houses the fourth bedroom, which offers rear windows and ample storage space.

Externally, the property features a shingle front garden with a footpath leading to the front door. There is side access to the rear garden, which has been extensively landscaped with a paved area and steps leading up to the detached garage. The garage is equipped with an electric up-and-over door, side access, Velux windows, and power. Additionally, there is parking at the rear of the property for a minimum of two cars, accessed from Wickham Road.
