Property: 147 Kinveachy Gardens, Charlton

The property backs directly onto Maryon Park and the story goes that the Maryon family member who built the terraced row of Kinveachy Gardens erected a bigger property at the end of the row for himself.

He certainly knew how to look after number one.

The house sits on a very spacious corner plot and was built in 1926.

You get no sense whatsoever of the sheer size of the place from the outside, indeed, it looks very much like any of the other properties in the area from street level.

But as soon as you step inside, you realise you have been the victim of a cruel optical illusion.

Downstairs you have a formal dining room, airy sitting room and impressively proportioned kitchen/diner.

Both the dining room and sitting room have working, grandiose fireplaces and the size of the kitchen/diner means you could easily use the dining room for something other than dining.

Out the back is the vast garden, only separated from the park by a fence. You could comfortably have a good five-a-side game on the expanse of grass and there’s ample space to sit and relax.

Still on the ground, there’s a big utility room and garage as well as a downstairs shower room.

Up the winding staircase are the four bedrooms.

The master, in common with much of the property, has a well cared-for original floor and the second bedroom has a balcony overlooking the park which only needs a bit of decking to make it a perfect summer evening spot to sit out and enjoy a glass of wine.

One of the bedrooms is currently an office but could easily go back to being a bedroom.

From top to bottom, the house has that intangible homely feeling in spades and would be ideal for a young family.

A buyer may seek to make some updates to the decor but this is a home all set for a new chapter in its decorated history.
