LAYOUT GROUND FLOOR You enter the home through a characterful entrance into the hallway, where the property's atmosphere is immediately palpable. The beautiful tiled floor, wainscoting, and authentic charm create a warm welcome. The hallway provides access to the living room, the updated fuse box, and the staircase to the first floor. The inviting living room features wooden flooring, a large window at the front, and a characterful mantelpiece. A practical under-stair cupboard offers extra storage and provides access to the crawl space, which has standing headroom. This space was damp-proofed in 2023 and fitted with TONZON insulation and a vapor-retarding ground cover. One of the living room's highlights is the set of en-suite doors connecting it to the spacious kitchen-diner at the rear. This allows the various living areas to be either opened up to one another or separated as desired. The eat-in kitchen is a wonderful space for daily living. There is plenty of room for a large dining table, and the double garden doors and two skylights allow for an abundance of natural light. The kitchen features a natural stone worktop and is equipped with a sink, an induction cooktop with oven, a range hood, and a dishwasher. The cooker/oven unit was replaced in 2023. Behind the kitchen, there is a small hallway providing access to the toilet. This area also houses a practical built-in storage cupboard containing the central heating boiler. The toilet area is fitted with a wall-mounted toilet and connections for a washing machine and dryer; mechanical ventilation is also installed. FIRST FLOOR The landing features wooden flooring and provides access to two bedrooms and the staircase leading to the second floor. Located at the rear is a bedroom that is ideally suited as a single room—perfect for use as a child's room, home office, or guest room. At the front, there is a larger bedroom suitable for a double bed; this room also features wooden flooring. The bedrooms are fitted with roller shutters. SECOND FLOOR The second floor forms a surprisingly complete sleeping and living level. The landing features linoleum flooring and provides access to a third bedroom, the bathroom, and a separate toilet. The bedroom at the rear is suitable as a single bedroom but would also serve excellently as a home office, hobby room, or guest room. The bathroom is bright thanks to the skylights and features a walk-in shower with both a rainfall and hand-held showerhead, a double vanity unit with a heated mirror, and a bathtub. The PVC flooring and the underlying drainage pipes have been renewed. Next to the bathroom is a separate toilet featuring a wall-mounted toilet and a skylight. The bathroom also provides access to the attic, which offers practical extra storage space. The air conditioning unit is also located here. OUTDOOR LIVING – charming southwest-facing city garden Behind the house lies a charming city garden with a favorable southwest-facing aspect—a wonderful spot to enjoy outdoor living right in the heart of the city.

At the rear of the garden stands a spacious storage shed—equipped with electricity—suitable for bicycles, gardening equipment, and other storage needs. The combination of greenery, sunlight, and a sheltered setting creates a pleasant, intimate atmosphere. It is a delightful place for a morning coffee, a relaxing afternoon in the sun, or long summer evenings outdoors.
