Description 18 Gilbert Road is a 1930 s semi-detached house on the corner of Gurney Way built of rendered brick elevations beneath a tiled roof. The property has been considerably extended and refurbished by the current owners to create an attractive family home whilst retaining a number of period features including Art Deco fireplaces, panelled doors, leaded stained glass windows, and picture rails.
The property is entered through a panelled black gloss front door which leads through a vestibule, which makes an excellent boot room and coat closet, into a stripped wood floor hallway which communicates with the principle rooms. To the left there are two doors leading to a double reception room with a fireplace and large bay window overlooking the front garden. This lovely room with a second feature Art Deco fireplace leads through to the kitchen which is also accessed from the hall. This is the heart of the property in every sense with plenty of natural light from two sets of bi-folding doors which lead out to the terrace and gardens beyond in addition to two large ceiling lights. The German made kitchen, by Nolte, has ample floor and wall mounted cabinetry with Dekton work surfaces is further enhanced by underfloor heating (wet system) and a Quooker boiling water tap.

A WC and separate utility room which can access the terrace completes the ground floor accommodation. The quality continues upstairs, accessed by a wide stairway, where there are three bedrooms on the first floor all with 1930 s Art Deco feature fireplaces. There is a family bathroom with white sanitary ware, marble flooring wall and splash back tiles, stainless steel fittings with a bath and separate shower.
