Characteristic Extended Terraced House with Sunny Southwest Garden near Stratum Woods
Key Features
Upsides
- The home is situated in a desirable location in Stratum on a tree lined lane, very close to the forest and all essential amenities like shops, schools, and transport links.
- The property features a sunny southwest facing garden with a veranda and covered terrace, providing excellent outdoor living space.
- The kitchen is modern and high end, featuring a cooking island, Bora induction with downdraft, a Quooker, and other premium built-in appliances.
- Despite being built in 1938, the house has a good Energy Label B and includes modern comforts like underfloor heating in the living area and a relatively new central heating boiler (2015).
Downsides
- The property is only partially fitted with double glazing, meaning some windows may still be single glazed, which affects noise insulation and thermal efficiency compared to fully renovated homes.
- Parking is limited to public street parking as there is no driveway or garage mentioned on the property.
- With four bedrooms, there is only one bathroom, which could be a bottleneck for a larger family during morning routines.
- Access to the storage loft on the third floor likely requires a loft ladder, which may be less convenient than a permanent staircase for frequent access.
Description
Located on a picturesque tree lined avenue in the highly sought after neighborhood of Stratum, this characteristic extended terraced house offers a comfortable and stylish living environment. The property is conveniently situated within a stone throw of the forest, providing immediate access to greenery and walking trails, while still being in close proximity to a wide range of amenities including shops, schools, sports facilities, major roads, and public transportation options. This home, built in 1938, combines its original charm with modern updates and offers a generous living space of 128 square meters situated on a plot of 143 square meters.
Upon entering the property, one is welcomed into a hall and vestibule which features an authentic granito floor. This specific type of flooring, also present in the hallway, immediately sets a tone of character and quality, reflecting the history of the building while providing a durable surface. The ground floor also includes a freely hanging toilet equipped with a fountain. A practical feature of this level is the sunken cellar closet which has been updated to house the new electrical group cabinet. This cabinet is inclusive of several earth leakage switches and groups, ensuring that the electrical infrastructure of the home is modern, safe, and capable of handling contemporary energy demands.
The heart of the home is the en suite living room, which has been cleverly divided to create a distinct living area at the front of the house and a living and dining kitchen area at the rear. The rear section has been extended, significantly increasing the floor space and creating a fluid connection to the outdoor area. The entire living room and kitchen floor is constructed of concrete with underfloor heating, providing an efficient and comfortable heating solution, and is finished with a wood look PVC floor covering that offers both the aesthetic appeal of wood with the durability and maintenance ease of modern materials.
The separation between the living room and the kitchen is marked by authentic sliding doors with leaded glass. These doors serve as a beautiful architectural feature that preserves the classic atmosphere of the house while allowing natural light to flow between the spaces. The living and dining kitchen itself is a spacious and well appointed area designed for modern culinary activities. It features a cooking island and a wall unit filled with high quality built in appliances. The kitchen is equipped with a Bora induction cooktop with integrated extraction, a sleek and efficient solution that keeps the kitchen air clean without the need for a bulky overhead hood. Other appliances include a refrigerator, a separate freezer, a sink equipped with a Quooker for instant boiling water, a dishwasher, and a combination microwave. Large patio doors open up from the kitchen to a sunny terrace in the garden, blending indoor and outdoor living seamlessly.
The outdoor space is a definite highlight of this property. The garden is located on the southwest, ensuring it enjoys the sun for a large part of the day and into the evening, making it an ideal spot for relaxation or entertaining. It features a veranda that runs the full width of the garden, providing a lovely shaded spot. Additionally, there is a covered terrace area, offering shelter and usability regardless of the weather conditions. The garden includes a back entrance, ensuring easy access.
Moving to the first floor, the landing provides access to three well proportioned bedrooms. There is a bedroom located at the rear of the house and two bedrooms situated at the front, offering flexible sleeping arrangements for a family or guests. The bathroom on this floor is fully equipped with a bath that offers the possibility of a shower, a double fixed washbasin with furniture, and a freely hanging toilet. With the exception of the bathroom, the first floor is fully fitted with laminate flooring, creating a warm and uniform look.
The second floor hosts a large open attic room featuring a dormer window, which floods the space with natural light. This versatile room currently serves as a large open space but offers the possibility to be divided into two separate rooms if desired, making it adaptable to the changing needs of a household such as a growing family or a requirement for a home office. Additionally, there is a separate storage and laundry room on this floor with connections for laundry appliances, keeping household utilities organized and out of the main living areas.
Above the second floor, there is a third floor accessible via a loft ladder, which serves as a storage attic. This extra volume is invaluable for storing seasonal items, luggage, or other belongings that are not needed on a daily basis, helping to keep the living spaces clutter free.
In terms of general features, the home is largely finished with stucco on walls and ceilings, giving it a neat and modern look. The property is partially equipped with double glazing and has floor insulation, contributing to its energy efficiency and resulting in an Energy Label B. This is a significant achievement for a home from 1938, indicating that updates have been made to improve comfort without losing the building's character. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha Avanta central heating boiler from 2015, which is owned by the property, ensuring reliability and efficient operation for the foreseeable future. The property is located in a residential area with public parking available on the street.
