Welcome to 17 Hilsea St.
Located on one of Lower Clapton's quietest streets, this charming Victorian house has been thoughtfully restored to create a warm and welcoming home in which the period features blend seamlessly with the carefully planned renovations.
The loft conversion has enlarged the space to over 1,451 square feet including four double bedrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen diner, lots of original features and rear garden that floods the whole house with natural light.
Hilsea street is a peaceful no through road and sits perfectly between Millfields Park, Chatsworth Road and all that Lower Clapton has to offer.
The reeded glass panelled front door is painted in Farrow and ball Hague Blue. The welcoming hallway has original floorboards and leads into the double sitting rooms.
Beautiful Bay Lounge.
Tastefully chosen 'Lamp Room Grey' paint creates a sense of home that is complimented by the cornicing, ceiling rose, restored original floorboards and sash windows. This is an incredibly bright and sunny room with much though given to light and space. The second reception room overlooks the rear garden and is currently set up as a ground floor bedroom with period charm.
As you descend a few steps into the Kitchen/Diner your eyes are drawn immediately to the large floor to ceiling double doors that open out onto the garden and large windows to the side. The Farrow and Ball ‘Calamine’ paint adds to the homely feel complemented with low level wooden cabinetry and worktop, tiled splashback, wooden shelving and butler sink.
Four Double Bedrooms.
The landing area on the first floor has original floorboards and leads to the family bathroom which has been finished in metro tiling and has a freestanding roll top bath with shower curtain surround. Also on this floor three double bedrooms are arranged from the front to the rear of the plan. The main bedroom is an exceptionally bright room thanks to one large bay window and a separate window that faces the front of the home, this room is painted in Farrow and Ball 'Hague Blue' and has wooden flooring under foot with ample room for storage. The second and third bedrooms both look over the rear garden and are wonderfully bright with wooden flooring underfoot.
As you ascend onto the second floor, the staircase is lit with natural light - courtesy of a well thought out sky light. The fourth bedroom has Velux windows allowing an abundance of natural light, ample eaves storage, and a cleverly designed en-suite shower room.
Light Filled Throughout.
The Outdoors.
The rear garden is accessed via the double doors from the kitchen. The outside area is a tranquil space, mainly paved with potted plants and seating area. There is potential to add a side return extension (subject to usual planning consents)
