There are some homes that promise much from the outside but do not deliver inside, but this period detached property isn't one of them.
In fact, this incredible home is quite the reverse.
From its standard, double bay-fronted design and red brick facade it's an attractive house on a road of attractive houses - but inside it is not the traditional period property you might expect.

There's an absolute embarrassment of space to choose from. At the front of the building you think the house is a standard two-storey abode but it is actually hiding two extra floors - a converted loft and a lower ground floor.
Plus there is a substantial two-storey rear extension that could easily be bigger than some people's complete property.
This dream house has proved that it can easily be called a 'Tardis' house, with not only a front garden that can welcome multiple cars and a garage, a massive rear garden for a residential suburban house but the inside exceeds expectations.
There's up to seven bedrooms, a huge lounge, a very generous kitchen diner, a loft conversion and a lower floor that could easily be used as self-contained accommodation. Doctor Who would surely be impressed?
But the surprise at this abode doesn't start and end with the massive amount of space hiding inside - once you open the front door, the interior design will most likely take your breath away.
This house in Newport has been given swish and swanky interior design treatment that wouldn't look out of place in a celebrity's posh pad.
Ceilings and walls have been reworked to create inserts and feature panels that ensure each space has character as well as being a clever way to incorporate support beams whilst creating focal points of interest.
Shiny surfaces and statement lighting add a touch of luxury and a palette of neutrals and accents of tactile texture mixed with smooth surfaces all combine to create extravagant decor that is also inviting and encourages you to linger.
It would have been easy to keep adding furniture and accessories to each space and cram it full of stuff as there's plenty of room.
But instead of over-filling each room, there are just a few visual features to notice and these are given the space to breathe and be seen without any distractions, such as the light fitting in the dining room and the wall art in the lounge above that super-sized sofa.
And if you think the focus on the surprising amount of space is not justified, just check out the sofa in the lounge - it's enormous - you might even need your passport to travel from one end to the other.
But this larger than average sofa certainly contributes to the view that this is a very sociable home that is the perfect place to host the perfect party.
In fact, the sofa is so large it straddles the two reception rooms that have been knocked into one to create a lounge that can surely accommodate all the family at Christmas.
This open-plan design in the front to back lounge then continues into an open-plan kitchen diner.
In here, the decor goes up a level, with smooth, shiny floors complementing the gloss units and the accents of black and metallic textures to add extra glamour.
The arched windows in the kitchen are four appealing features that really add a distinctive backdrop to the contemporary space, echoed by the curved, metallic statement lighting.
The chatting and chewing can be done informally at the island unit breakfast bar in the kitchen or at the more formal dining table in the adjoining, open-plan room.
The excellent flow on this floor of the house continues with both these main rooms, the lounge and the kitchen diner, having French door access onto a balcony with lovely views of the garden.
Help with your hunt for a home here:
Step out here and this is where the enormity of the house is partially revealed as, although you entered the house on the ground floor at the front, you are now elevated above the garden at a first floor level.
Beneath you is a hidden, lower ground floor that houses a shower room, the sixth and the seventh bedroom - currently being used as a lounge - plus another lounge too; so even this hidden level is hiding a huge amount of space and contributes to the home's 'Tardis' stature.
And it's not some pokey, dark basement, this level of the house has been given the decor magic dust too, with more fancy ceilings, more built-in bespoke carpentry and more statement pieces and touches of luxury to discover and delight.
This lower floor could obviously be a perfect adult's retreat, or a granny annexe or, even a rentable space as a self-contained flat if a kitchen is added and all the necessary building and planning regulations are adhered to and signed off.
However a new owner uses this bonus lower floor of accommodation, it's a pinch of posh for whoever is lucky enough to bag it for themselves.
Up via the beautiful period staircase to the first floor and there are three more bedrooms to choose from, all spacious and all with built-in wardrobes.
There's a very swish family bathroom on this level too with a free-standing contemporary bath and spacious walk-in shower cocooned in beautiful floor and wall tiles that mix surfaces - the smooth with the tactile.
If an ensuite to one of the bathrooms is required, the smallest of the bedrooms could be transformed to accommodate this as this house really does have a plethora of bedrooms, so sacrificing one will be no sacrifice at all.
Up the fourth and final floor in the converted loft and yes, there's even more space up here, currently configured to be two more bedrooms.
Again, this fantastic house has so much versatile space that this top level could be the perfect games room, man-cave, hen-den or teenager hang out - it's just a case of arguing who gets to claim and use the space.
