A property of genuine character and considered living, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom period terrace on Oxhey Avenue is a home that has been shaped with personality and purpose at every turn. Arrival sets the tone immediately; beyond the handsome facade, a welcoming hallway leads the eye directly to the staircase, with a clear sense of proportion and flow from the outset. To the right, the living room is an assured, characterful space. Largely whitewashed, a feature fireplace anchors the room with quiet confidence, a photo rail traces the perimeter, and a southwest-facing bay window floods the space with light. The owners' eclectic approach to furnishing brings it all to life, layering warmth and individuality across every surface.
At the rear, the open-plan kitchen and breakfast room is a cleverly conceived space that balances practicality with personality. The kitchen sits neatly within its own nook to the left, while to the right a breakfast bar is set in front of a chimney stack. Additional storage sits alongside, and beyond that a generous separate store, complete with an outside WC that proves a genuinely useful asset when entertaining. Wide oak double doors open the entire rear of the house onto the garden, blurring the line between inside and out. The first floor houses two double bedrooms. The principal suite, measuring an impressive 17'1" x 12'7", is a room of real scale and considered detail. A thoughtful reconfiguration has introduced a discreet storage nook, and two southwest-facing windows ensure the room is bathed in afternoon and evening light. To the rear, the second bedroom, currently arranged as a walk-in wardrobe, is a generous and versatile double in its own right. A family bathroom with a freestanding tub and sash window completes the floor with understated elegance. The second floor accommodates bedrooms three and four. The third bedroom, measuring 12'5", is a bright and well-proportioned space lit by two Velux windows, with a door giving access to the eaves and an exceptional volume of additional storage beyond. A shared shower room serves both upper bedrooms, offering the practicality of a quasi-ensuite arrangement without compromise.
Outside, the garden has been designed across two levels with the same care evident throughout the house. The oak double doors open onto a patio perfectly placed for afternoon sun, stepping up to a neat artificial lawn and, at the furthest point, a decked terrace. A thoughtful sequence of spaces that rewards quiet evenings and relaxed entertaining in equal measure.
