Selby Avenue is an immaculately presented family home that showcases refined elegance and on-trend styling. The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over three floors, offering a perfect blend of sophistication and contemporary charm. Appealing detail reflecting the era includes bay window protrusions, a timbered gable, high ceiling rooms, arched architecture and decorative corbels, with exposed wood flooring and antique fireplaces. Benefitting from the enhanced light afforded by the triple-window bay, a charming sitting room is centred around a cast-iron fireplace offering a comfortable space for downtime. To the rear of the ground floor, a family room with logburner provides a versatile setting and connects to the impressive kitchen/breakfast room. Filled with natural light courtesy of four skylight windows and a wall of glazed bi-folding doors, this sociable room offers an easy transition to the garden. With high quality cabinetry and thoughtful design, the kitchen has stone work surfaces, integrated appliances and an island unit with timber circular cabinet. There is ample space for dining in this convivial setting which seamlessly links to the al fresco terrace.

The calming neutral décor continues on the two upper levels where the bedroom quarters are accommodated. On the first floor, the principal room offers a restful retreat with bay recess and fitted wardrobe storage. There are two additional bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom on this level. A stairway leads to the converted attic, which features a splendid en suite bedroom.
