DESCRIPTION
Set within its own established gardens and approached via wooden gates, The Laurels is a beautifully preserved Victorian residence offering refined, character-rich accommodation with a seamless blend of period charm and modern comfort.

A sweeping gravel driveway provides ample parking and leads to a charming tiled porch, opening into an impressive central hallway with classic Minton tiled flooring. From here, two gracious reception rooms unfold, each featuring high moulded ceilings, expansive windows, and striking marble fireplaces-creating elegant yet welcoming spaces for both entertaining and everyday living.

The generous family lounge and formal drawing room flow effortlessly from the hallway, while the layout continues through to a well-appointed kitchen and utility area. Here, bespoke cabinetry, twin Belfast sinks, and a range of integrated appliances cater perfectly to contemporary needs. French doors and a separate rear entrance open onto a delightful courtyard, enhancing the home’s connection to its outdoor spaces.

A turned wooden staircase rises to the first floor, illuminated by a beautiful stained-glass window. The accommodation comprises four well-proportioned double bedrooms, two enhanced by original marble fireplaces. The principal suite benefits from its own walk-in dressing room, WC, and en-suite shower room, while a further bedroom also enjoys en-suite facilities. A spacious family bathroom and access to the loft complete this level.

OUTSIDE
Externally, the property is enveloped by mature, landscaped gardens, featuring expansive lawns, established shrubs, and vibrant, well-stocked flowerbeds. To the rear, a thoughtfully designed enclosed garden offers terraced areas and gravel pathways weaving through herbaceous borders-ideal for relaxation and outdoor entertaining.

A standout feature is the detached garden room, complete with a Clearview stove and bi-fold doors, presenting a versatile space perfectly suited for home working, a gym, or stylish entertaining. Additional outbuildings include a log store and separate garden shed.
