Beautifully renovated Victorian residence

Dilkoosha is a stunning six bedroom Victorian end terrace property which retains many of its period features, including high ceilings, original fireplaces, quarry tiled floors, traditional bay windows with sliding sashes, and original Victorian mouldings. A property which is steeped in history and romance, was built circa 1884 by the Gascoigne family of Lotherton Hall. The current owners have expertly created a fusion of period features and contemporary touches throughout, which allows the property to remain sympathetic to the era, but with a contemporary twist. The result is a beautiful and spacious home spread out over three floors, blending traditional with modern, and providing versatile living. The programme of work carried out by the current owners include removal of internal walls to create open living space, installation of a Worcester combination boiler, recently installed multi-fuel burner. replacement kitchen, installation of Bose built in sound system and redecoration.

The kitchen dining room opens into a welcoming lounge with original fireplace and parquet flooring and central cast iron fireplace. There is a separate lounge which boasts solid wood flooring, beautiful bay sash window and a contemporary Bose built in sound system. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a generously sized playroom, which could also be utilised as a dining room. The playroom also benefits from a stunning open fire place with marble mantle and decorative tiled surround and external door to the rear garden. A thoroughfare connects the playroom/dining to the kitchen, which previously provided access to the servants.

Stairs to the first floor landing reveal a colourful stained glass sash window, and the landing provides access to three double bedrooms, office and house bathroom. The master bedroom has the advantage of an original wood floor and marble surround fireplace with mosaic tiles. The second floor landing is spacious enough to have a seating area, and leads to three further spacious bedrooms with plentiful eaves storage. Another bathroom completes the second floor accommodation.

There are three out buildings, know as 'The Coach House' all with separate entrances, light and power. The third outbuilding, previously a stable has a ladder leading to an upper floor, which runs the length of all three buildings. 'The Coach House' had planning approved in 2012 for a three bed detached residential property with garage. This has now lapsed and will be available to re-apply for approval.
