An impressive detached Victorian family home arranged over three floors and offering more than 3,500 sq ft of versatile and beautifully balanced accommodation, positioned on a sought after residential avenue. The property combines elegant period architecture with generous proportions, high ceilings and an abundance of natural light, with original features complemented by thoughtful modern updates to create a home perfectly suited to contemporary family living. Set behind a mature frontage with driveway parking for several vehicles, the house opens onto an exceptional rear garden.
A welcoming reception hall with original wooden flooring and decorative detailing gives an immediate sense of character on arrival, leading to a series of well proportioned reception rooms featuring high ceilings, ornate cornicing and original fireplaces. The drawing room and open plan sitting/dining room both feature generous bay windows and attractive fireplaces, with the sitting room further enhanced by a log burner creating a relaxed and inviting family space. The dining area connects directly to the conservatory. The conservatory offers a bright and atmospheric setting with full-height glazing and uninterrupted views across the garden.
The kitchen and breakfast room form the natural heart of the house, featuring bespoke cabinetry, composite work surfaces and a central peninsula, while the adjoining breakfast area provides ample space for informal dining with direct access to the terrace and garden.
A separate utility room is accessed from the breakfast area, together with a side door providing convenient external access. This sociable arrangement works equally well for everyday family life and entertaining, enhancing the sense of openness throughout the ground floor.
The first floor provides five well proportioned bedrooms arranged around a spacious landing. The principal bedroom enjoys a front aspect through a generous bay window and benefits from its own en suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are served by a separate family shower room, providing comfortable accommodation for family members or guests.
A substantial cellar provides valuable ancillary space suitable for storage as well as useful loft area accessed via pull down ladder.
The rear garden is a particular feature, extending to approximately 130 ft and providing a beautifully mature outdoor environment. Predominantly laid to lawn, it includes established planting and several seating areas arranged to catch the sun throughout the day, together with a timber garden studio with log burner and timber workshop offering a variety of potential uses.
To the front of the property there is driveway parking for several vehicles, completing this exceptional Victorian home.
