2 Bedroom Detached House

Occupying a prominent corner plot in the historical village of Ratby, this two-bedroom detached house offers considered gestures with real personality. Its red-brick elevations and roofline give it a settled, established presence on the street, while inside, the owner has layered colour, texture and pattern with evident confidence.

The ground floor is arranged around the reception room, handled with a sure hand. A run of warm flooring underscores a deep, velvet-upholstered sofa; a wall painted in ‘midnight navy’, threaded with fairy lights, provides a quiet backdrop for evenings in. ‘Old gold’ paint against white walls, brass fittings, and open shelving used to display a considered edit of plants and objects.

The kitchen, fitted in grey cabinetry with dark contrasting worktops, is modern and functional, with a separate breakfast bar addressing the practicalities of everyday use. A utility area and enclosed rear porch extend the working space of the house beyond the kitchen itself.

To the rear, a pairing of interconnected courtyard gardens unfolds - each with a distinct character and use. One is arranged for lounging, its floor softened by a patterned rug; another, further along, is furnished with a café table and a bold orange parasol, walls dressed with hanging baskets and potted plants.

Upstairs, two generous bedrooms flank a family bathroom painted in terracotta that continues the house's commitment to colour. The principal bedroom with window allowing natural light. The second proving the perfect guest, children’s bedroom, or office.

An integral garage and driveway parking address the practical requirements of the house, while its corner position affords a rare degree of presence within the streetscape.
