Description:
An exceptional and rarely available 1929 Art Deco residence, showcasing a wealth of original architectural features alongside extensive sympathetic modernisation.
Built during the golden age of Art Deco design, this remarkable home retains many of the distinctive elements that make properties of this era so sought after. Elegant curved walls, original curved Crittall windows and doors, and a striking stepped ceiling in the sitting room combine to create a home of genuine architectural significance and character. Original fireplaces in the upstairs rooms further enhance the property's period charm, providing a tangible connection to its rich history.
Having been cherished by one owner for more than 35 years before being acquired by the current owners in 2017, the property has since undergone substantial investment and improvement while carefully preserving its unique character. A complete rewire, new heating system and extensive replastering have brought the home up to modern standards, offering buyers the reassurance of updated infrastructure without compromising its Art Deco identity.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen features a gas and electric Aga, which is included in the sale, providing a practical and impressive focal point for family life and entertaining.
The property also offers exciting future potential, with plumbing already installed in readiness for a loft conversion, allowing the next owner the opportunity to create additional living accommodation if desired, subject to any necessary consents. The garage houses the Megaflo hot water system and boiler, ensuring efficient operation while maximising internal living space.
Combining timeless Art Deco elegance with modern comfort and future potential, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly distinctive home.
