Extensive refurbishment undertaken by the present owners of this East Wall house has transformed it into a very modern and spacious home. Number 4 Strangford Road East is for sale by private treaty for in excess of £205,000 (#260,300) through Gunne.
Within walking distance of the city centre, this is a double-fronted semi-detached period house with front and rear gardens. The original timber floors and fireplaces in both the upstairs and downstairs rooms have been retained.
The present owners bought this house two and a half years ago and have since gutted and remodelled it, during which a kitchen extension was built. Overlooking the back garden, the large kitchen/diningroom is the focus of the house. It has Shaker-style units, a Smeg oven, tiled floor and recessed spotlighting. The dining area could also double as a sunroom with floor-to-ceiling Rationel windows and doors leading out on to a decked patio area.
The livingroom runs the full length of the house, with doors to the patio area. Original timber floorboards remain, along with an open marble fireplace with a red-tiled inset. A door leads through to the kitchen.
To the right of the hall is the study, which could also be used as a third bedroom. This room has a cast-iron fireplace and built-in floor-to-ceiling shelving and desk.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a bright bathroom. The main bedroom runs the full-length of the house, and has timber floors and a cast-iron fireplace.
The house has been rewired and replumbed. There is side access to the back garden.
