This beautifully presented former part of an Edwardian church has been tastefully converted into a very special property to create a spacious individual town house whilst still retaining many of the original character features. To name but a few, these include, exposed beams within a vaulted ceiling in the living room, stained glass windows, ornate wood panel ceilings and turned balustrade on the staircase. The marriage of the modern double glazed windows and stylish fitments blend tastefully throughout. The property is arranged over three floors with the large well appointed family bathroom featuring both a freestanding bath and a separate shower cubicle to the first floor, together with one double bedroom incorporating a charming dressing area. The second floor houses two further double bedrooms, both with fabulous vaulted original wood paneled ceilings. On the ground floor, an extensive open plan living area is fitted with a modern kitchen including integrated appliances. A grand recess provides a rather special dining area with large ceiling lantern flooding the area with natural light. The entrance lobby and hallway are a particular feature to the property with its wonderfully crafted original joinery to the staircase, doors and framework including the attractive stained glass insets to the panels to the double entrance doors. Outside there is a sheltered paved terrace with space for a table and chairs to enjoy the afternoon sun.
