<p>Stone Leigh is a uniquely charming and characterful mid-terraced home, offering well-proportioned and practical accommodation within an architecturally distinctive setting. Believed to have originally formed part of a larger residence, the property now stands as an attractive two-bedroom dwelling and is conveniently positioned in a desirable location with local amenities readily accessible on the doorstep.</p><p>The façade is particularly noteworthy, showcasing detailed stonework incorporating carved gargoyles said to represent a former owner and their family. Mullioned bay windows and intricate stone edging further enhance the exterior, understood to have been crafted by a previous owner who was a skilled stonemason, lending the property a truly individual presence.</p><p>The accommodation begins with an entrance vestibule, leading into a welcoming living room. This delightful reception space is centred around a multi-fuel stove set within an exposed stone surround and stone hearth, complemented by a charming mullioned bay window that allows natural light to fill the room. From here, an inner hall provides access to the staircase and kitchen, while also offering space for a small cloaks area.</p><p>The kitchen sits to the rear of the property and enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden. Generous in size, it offers ample space for dining and is fitted with a range of wall and base units topped with a complementary work surface and tiled splashbacks. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, oven and hob, with space provided for a freestanding fridge/freezer. An exposed stone wall continues the character theme, while a useful understairs pantry cupboard provides additional storage. The oil-fired boiler is neatly housed within a recess, and a door leads through to the utility room.</p><p>The utility room offers further fitted storage, space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and benefits from an external door opening onto the rear garden. An internal door leads to the downstairs WC, which is fitted with a WC and wash hand basin.</p><p>To the first floor, the landing splits to the left and right. To the right is the family bathroom, fitted with a WC, wash hand basin and bath with electric shower over, along with a shelved airing cupboard housing the water cylinder. Also to this side is a rear-aspect double bedroom enjoying views over the garden. To the left, the principal bedroom sits to the front of the property and features a beautiful mullioned bay window and integrated wardrobes, one of which opens into an unexpectedly generous storage area, reminiscent of a ‘Narnia’-style space.</p><p>From the left landing, a further door leads to an attic room, complete with wooden flooring, eaves storage and a Velux window. This versatile space lends itself to a variety of uses, subject to individual needs and requirements. <em>Please note: we understand that this area does not comply with current building regulations for use as a bedroom.</em></p><p>Externally, the property benefits from street parking to the front, along with an enclosed, low-maintenance patio garden featuring a flower bed. To the rear is a yard area providing access to an outhouse, outside tap and steps leading up to a raised lawned garden. This delightful garden area is bordered by flower beds and also houses a garden shed, coal bunkers and the oil tank, creating an enjoyable outdoor space.</p><p><em>Please note: that a right of way exists over a neighbouring garden to access Stone Leigh’s garden.</em></p><p>Stone Leigh presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine character and individuality in a sought-after and convenient setting, combining historic craftsmanship with comfortable accommodation and access to local amenities.</p><br/>EPC Rating: D
