1930s character with a huge modern kitchen extension and large soundproof summerhouse.
Top-floor master suite with en-suite, dressing area and walk-in wardrobes
Set over three floors, this newly renovated 1930s semi-detached house balances period character with a large contemporary kitchen-family extension. The bay-fronted lounge, herringbone floors and original cornice create a warm family feel, while the open-plan rear space with skylights and bi-folds brings modern light and flow straight onto the landscaped garden.
The top-floor master suite is a standout: a large bedroom with dressing area, two walk-in wardrobes, en-suite and a Juliet balcony — ideal as a private parents’ retreat. Three further double bedrooms and a four-piece family bathroom give flexible sleeping and family-bathroom options across the middle floors. Practical additions include a utility room, downstairs w/c, and ample built-in storage.
Outside, the garden is a genuine asset. A paved patio, lawn and rear deck lead to a fully soundproofed, insulated summerhouse with power and speakers — useful as a home office, studio or play/bar space. The front driveway provides parking for about three cars and there is an integral garage for extra storage or workshop use.
Be clear about two notable issues: the property sits in a high-crime area, which may affect insurance and security choices, and the original solid brick walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation — consider insulation upgrades for running-cost savings. Otherwise, fast broadband, mains gas central heating and no flood risk make the house ready for family life close to sought-after grammar schools, parks and the seafront.
