The image is traditionally Edwardian, the ideas are entirely modern – the melding of period and present day that defines this superb family home is a perfect match. Four double bedrooms feature classical proportions that have adopted a modern mood, complemented by two designer bathrooms including the main bedroom’s distinctive, desirable ensuite. A dedicated study adds work from home flexibility to a floor-plan where a central courtyard represents a refined sanctuary for coffee or contemplation. Beyond, bright natural light fills living and dining spaces and the boundary between indoors and outside is beautifully blurred as glass doors slide aside on two aspects to precisely paved alfresco entertaining proportions and established north-facing gardens. The open-plan kitchen’s stone surfaces, striking splashbacks, dual ovens and walk-in pantry enhance its evident quality in a home where polished concrete floors, hydronic heating, reverse cycle cooling, smart storage and rear ROW to River Lane are among the additional attractions. The Strand, Newport station, Digman Reserve are all readily reached from this exceptional address.
