Welcome Home
There are houses that simply stop you in your tracks, 49 Slyne Road is one of them. This handsome, stone-built bay-fronted terrace stands confidently set back from the road behind its own front garden — a rare and welcome buffer from the world beyond — and from the moment you approach that substantial original front door, you sense that something special lies within.
Built by craftsmen at the turn of the last century, the house wears its age with considerable pride. Step inside and the vestibule greets you with its original mosaic tiled floor, perfectly preserved and utterly charming. Beyond, the main hallway stretches ahead with a full run of original quarry tiles — lovingly restored by the present owners — and corniced ceilings that speak of a time when houses were built to impress and to last. They still do both, emphatically.
What makes this house is that this rich period character has been met in equal measure by a renovation of real quality and vision.
Heart of The Home
In rear of the ground floor, the kitchen is a showpiece. Crafted and installed by Andersen's Kitchens Design. Dusky Rose cabinetry with concealed handles sits beneath solid Quartz Sparkle worktops that catch the light beautifully, enhanced further by under-cabinet lighting that creates an atmosphere as much as it provides illumination. Neff appliances include an induction hob and double oven, the hob complemented by a matching splashback and a neatly concealed extractor fan. Oak effect flooring anchors the space warmly underfoot. The original fireplace — once home to a Victorian range — has been fully exposed to create a stunning focal point, a reminder of the home's story as its present chapter unfolds in thoroughly contemporary style. French doors open to the landscaped garden, and with generous dining space, this is a kitchen in which you will genuinely want to spend your time. A French-style fridge freezer perfectly proportioned for the space (available by separate negotiation).
Elegant Reception Rooms
Two generous reception rooms occupy the ground floor. The bay-fronted front lounge is an elegant, light-filled room with a flame-effect stove set within a modern oak mantle — effortlessly stylish and immediately inviting. The formal dining room benefits from its own French door to the garden, offering a second seamless connection to the outside. A well-appointed WC cloakroom completes the ground floor picture. With three sets of French doors opening to the garden in total, the flow between inside and outside living is a genuine pleasure throughout.
First Floor
The first floor is as generous as the ground floor promises. The master bedroom is expansive — occupying the full width of the house — and is a true retreat. Bedroom Two is a comfortable double, and Bedroom Three to the rear would accommodate a double bed with ease, and benefits from a fitted wardrobe. The landing itself is broad enough to furnish, which speaks volumes about the scale of this home.
The bathroom, installed by Simply Bathrooms, is a four-piece suite of considerable distinction. Duravit porcelain of the highest specification, a large low-profile shower enclosure, a freestanding tub, a dark grey heated towel rail, a basin cabinet and a striking feature wall combine to create a space that feels more boutique hotel than family home. Wood-effect floor tiles and recessed spotlights complete the look impeccably.
