Set on a rather large plot, the spacious home spans across three floors with the addition of a converted basement, a summerhouse and a seperate annexe as well as hiding a very pretty garden to the rear.
On the ground floor of the home there is a large kitchen and two big reception rooms. The stylish living room has been designed with neutral decor and elegant wood paneling, and benefits from a lovely bay window.
The dining room has been fitted with hardwood floor, an electric fire, and patio doors that open directly out onto the garden, providing a seamless indoor and outdoor living style.
At the rear of the ground floor, the stunning kitchen features high-quality units and a breakfast bar area, with stairs that then lead down into a utility room and WC.
Up on the first floor is a grand landing boasting lots of natural light. The main bedroom comes with fitted wardrobes, an original fireplace and an en-suite bathroom.
There are three other bedrooms, each double sized, and two of them featuring fitted wardrobes. Also on this floor is a modern four-piece family bathroom.
Stairs from the ground floor then lead down into the basement which has been transformed by its current owners into an impressive cinema room.
Outside the house has a long driveway to the front and side offering lots of parking space as well as a shared front garden space. To the back of the home, the rear garden is a beautiful space for warm summer evenings, al-fresco dining, and entertaining.
At the back of the garden there is spacious summerhouse, currently used as an office and snug but with the potential to become a bar or home gym.
The garage has also been converted into an outbuilding with open-plan kitchen and lounge area with patio doors and exposed beams, a separate room, a shower room and a cloakroom.
Although it does not have the necessary building regulations to be classed as an annex, the versatile area could make an ideal space for a home-based business or hobby.
Estate agents Ryder & Dutton say: "Nestled in the highly desirable Hopwood area, this truly remarkable semi-detached home boasts an impressive 200-year-old heritage.
"Externally, the property is a sight to behold, with a spacious driveway accommodating multiple cars, a stunning front garden, and a spectacular rear garden.
"Offering a host of unique features, including a converted basement transformed into a cinema room, a separate annex created from the garage (with building regulations as a home/office), and a versatile summerhouse currently utilized as an office and snug, this property is a treasure trove of possibilities."
