‘It’s an excellent example of how to take a home that was at the peak of design when it was built and create a property that suits 21st Century requirements, too,’ explains Colin Shairp, of Town and Country Southern estate agents.‘What many potential buyers will like is that at the front there’s still the sitting room behind the bay window, complete with a decorative period brick fireplace.

‘But the alterations to the ground floor have also allowed the creation of a shower room, rather than a simple cloakroom, while a clever arrangement in the kitchen enables what looks like a tall cupboard to open into the original larder.‘The first floor retains the original two double bedrooms, a further single bedroom, and a family bathroom with both a bath and corner shower cubicle.

‘The stairs to the new master suite continue in the original stairwell so they do not eat up valuable space, illustrating how careful design can maximise the existing footprint of the house.‘At the side of the house is an attached garage with steps behind that rise to a rear door into the entrance hall.

‘Outside the bi-fold doors of the extension is a raised terrace with steps down to a lawn that slopes gently to the side of the plot.
