Full Description: Boydens are delighted to present this truly charming three-bedroom end-of-terrace home, forming part of a former orphanage that has been thoughtfully converted into just three individual residences. Rich in character and boasting impressive ceiling heights, generous room proportions and a wealth of period charm, this is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a home with a fascinating history and a personality all of its own.<br /><br />Approached via a gated front courtyard, the property immediately makes an impression with its beautiful original entrance doorway, offering a glimpse of the character found within.<br /><br />Stepping inside, you are welcomed by an impressive tiled entrance hall, where the wonderfully high ceilings and abundance of natural light create a real sense of space. The generous proportions offer plenty of flexibility, with room for additional storage or even a dedicated home working area. A convenient ground floor cloakroom is also accessed from this space.<br /><br />Moving through the property, the generously proportioned lounge provides a fantastic balance between period grandeur and everyday comfort. Despite its impressive ceiling height, the room retains a wonderfully warm and inviting atmosphere, with ample space for substantial lounge furniture, making it an ideal setting for both relaxing and entertaining.<br /><br />Positioned towards the rear of the home is the kitchen, fitted with a range of units and incorporating an integrated fridge and dishwasher. Whilst perfectly functional in its current arrangement, the kitchen offers an excellent opportunity for a future owner to introduce their own style and create a space more in keeping with the character of the property.<br /><br />A particularly useful feature is the additional storage cupboard located beside the rear entrance, providing a practical space for coats, shoes and everyday essentials. This also houses the Glow-worm boiler, which is connected to the property's Hive smart heating system.<br /><br />The first floor continues to impress, with three well-proportioned bedrooms, comprising two generous doubles and a particularly versatile single room.<br />The principal bedroom is an exceptionally spacious room, comfortably accommodating a king-size bed alongside substantial additional furniture. The impressive ceiling height enhances the sense of space, whilst a built-in wardrobe provides useful storage.<br /><br />The second bedroom is another excellent double, again offering generous floor space, built-in storage and a dedicated vanity area.<br /><br />The third bedroom is far from your typical box room, comfortably accommodating a single bed whilst benefiting from two particularly useful recessed areas, ideal for wardrobes, drawers or further storage. Equally, the space would lend itself beautifully to use as a home office or nursery.<br /><br />Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, offering good proportions and attractive floor tiling. Much like the kitchen, the bathroom presents an opportunity for cosmetic updating, allowing the next owner to put their own stamp on the home.<br /><br />Externally, the property benefits from a private, north-west-facing courtyard garden, thoughtfully arranged with paving and artificial lawn to provide an exceptionally low-maintenance outdoor space.<br /><br />Although the property does not benefit from allocated parking, unallocated on-street parking can be found across the way on East Bay, subject to availability and any local restrictions.<br /><br />Overall, this is a home that really needs to be experienced to be fully appreciated. With its fascinating origins, remarkable ceiling heights, charming architectural features and genuinely generous accommodation, it offers something wonderfully different from the everyday three-bedroom home, whilst providing an exciting opportunity for its next owner to make it their own.<br /><br />ENTRANCE HALLWAY - 7'11'' x 14'10'' (2.4m x 4.5m)<br /><br />W.C - 2'4'' x 5'7'' (0.7m x 1.7m)<br /><br />LIVING ROOM - 15'10'' x 14'9'' (4.8m x 4.5m)<br /><br />KITCHEN - 11'9'' x 14'10'' (3.6m x 4.5m)<br /><br />LANDING - 27'3'' x 3'6'' (8.3m x 1.1m)<br /><br />BEDROOM - 1 - 13'10'' x 11' (4.2m x 3.4m)<br /><br />BEDROOM - 2 - 9'5'' x 9'10'' (2.9m x 3m)<br /><br />BEDROOM - 3 - 7'6'' x 12'7'' (2.3m x 3.8m)<br /><br />BATHROOM - 7'7'' x 4'7'' (2.3m x 1.4m)
