The property

Enjoying a desirable suburban setting in the leafy conservation area of Shandon, this characterful one-bedroom lower garden villa sits on a peaceful terrace, occupying the ground-floor of a handsome stone-built period building. Wonderfully light and airy and presented in attractive move-in condition, the villa boasts an abundance of charming well-restored original features, including richly-toned timber flooring and stripped internal doors, an appealing southerly aspect and a delightful private outdoor space. Set behind a leafy walled front garden, the villas inviting pillar-box red front door opens into a vestibule, retaining its original mosaic tiling. From here, you step into a spacious hallway (with handy storage) which leads into a generous and beautifully-presented living room, bathed in natural light from a large southwest-facing sash-and-case bay window, set into its original wood panelled surround, with shutters, and featuring a quaint window seat. This elegant reception area enjoys sympathetically-classic décor, paired with an exquisite ceiling rose and intricate decorative cornicing, an authentic Edinburgh press and a homely multi-fuel burning stove (TBC), framed by a stone hearth and delicately-detailed natural wood surround. Adjacent to the living room, is a bright galley kitchen, featuring an excellent array of rustic Shaker-style cabinets, complementing a charming wainscoting window surround and accompanied by timber worktops, understated splashback tiling and floating shelving. Also incorporated into the kitchen is a range of freestanding goods and appliances including a gas cooker, a tall fridge freezer and a dishwasher (TBC). Conveniently neighbouring the kitchen is a good-sized formal dining room, adaptable to a variety of uses (such as an occasional second bedroom) and enjoying a leafy garden outlook and a further Edinburgh press. To the rear of this additional reception area is a bright utility room, offering garden access and a discrete laundry area, with a freestanding Bosch washing machine (TBC), a traditional clothes pulley and plenty of useful pantry storage. Enjoying a tranquil position in the villa, overlooking the rear garden and lit by a large window, with working shutters, the neutrally-toned double bedroom boasts a good-sized floorspace for furniture, whilst the neighbouring light and airy bathroom completes the accommodation on offer and comprises a handsome classically-styled WC and a pedestal sink, vanity storage, a towel radiator and a shower-over-bath.
