"26 Sydney Road is a beautifully presented period home that has been sympathetically modernised by the current owners to create a superb home suited for family living. The house has maintained many of the character features, including hardwood flooring, fireplaces, cornicing, picture rails and intricate ceiling roses.

On entering, the inviting hallway opens to the formal drawing room to the front of the house, and the family room to the rear, which are excellent spaces for the family to gather.

To the rear of the house, an excellent extension houses the open plan kitchen and breakfast room. The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances including twin Miele ovens, a coffee machine and a useful breakfast bar for quick dining.

Beyond the kitchen, is generous space for dining, which is flooded with natural light from the large full height windows on all three sides and bi folding doors that open out to the garden. A useful store and guest cloakroom sits behind the kitchen and completed the ground floor accommodation. The lower ground floor houses what was the original kitchen but is now currently used as a study area or a further reception room. On this floor, there is also bedroom five which would make a good guest bedroom, as well as an adjacent shower room and utility room.

The main bedroom accommodation is found on the first floor with views onto the rear garden. The principal bedroom has a walk in dressing area and an en suite bathroom. The three further bedrooms are of generous proportions, and there is a good sized family bathroom with a free standing, roll top bath and separate shower.

The house is set back from the road behind an attractive period wall with steps that lead to the front door, and there is side access to the rear garden. The rear garden enjoys a sunny southerly aspect with a paved terrace that adjoins the back of the house and is accessed from the kitchen breakfast room, which perfectly extends the dining and entertaining space outside for the summer months. Beyond, the garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubbery and trees in the borders which add to the privacy of the garden. To the top end of the garden is a useful garden shed, and a space laid to astro turf which is currently set up as an outdoor gym space, but could also be used as a second seating area if desired.
