Stunning Victorian three storey

-

THIS has to be one of the best examples of a late Victorian terrace to be listed in Hinckley.

The attention to detail to be sympatheti­c to the period, yet bring a contempora­ry feel and functional­ity to this beautiful home is to be admired. No expense has been spared in its renovation - cast iron bespoke radiators, refurbishe­d sash windows with bespoke window shutters, refurbishe­d cast iron period fireplaces, stripped and varnished floorboard­s and original Victorian quarry tiles in both the kitchen and gardens.

This is a three bedroom, three storey property, with high ceilings, two sizeable reception rooms on the ground floor, along with the kitchen and utility, and a few steps down to the shower room.

The gas pipes have all been replaced, along with a new combi boiler in 2013. Most walls have either been plastered or skimmed. Chimney stacks have been re-pointed and flaunching refurbishe­d.

New wooden worktops have been installed in the Kitchen, decorative stained glass window sourced for the shower room and some minor electrical improvemen­ts.

The porch offers a buffer through to the sitting room, with its feature fireplace and large, attractive shuttered bay window. A door leads past the staircase and onto the lounge, again with feature fireplace, large sash window and sizeable understair­s storage cupboard.

On the first floor is the master bedroom with original fireplace, large shuttered bay window and its own secret dressing room, incorporat­ing two-tier hanging storage and shelving.

Across the landing is the amazing bathroom, a huge room with beautifull­y laid out period white suite with free standing bath, basin and high level WC.

On the second floor is a huge second double bedroom with shuttered windows and original fireplace, and across the landing a third double bathroom with access to the roof space, which is partly boarded and fully insulated.
