4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Cromwell Road, St. Andrews BS6

An impressive four-bedroom, semi-detached Victorian family home occupying a commanding position in the highly sought-after St Andrews area. Spread across three floors, the substantial accommodation offers over 2100 sq ft of living space.

The accommodation comprises: A tiled vestibule entrance, complete with a stained-glass door leading into a ground-floor hallway with stripped wooden floorboards, doors to the sitting room, study, kitchen/diner, and cloakroom/shower room, and a central staircase providing access to the lower ground and first floors. At the front of the property is a light, bright sitting room with a rounded bay window, original sash windows, decorative cornice, a ceiling rose and a modern wood-burning stove. The adjacent study retains sash windows, cornice, and picture rail. It is currently used as a study/music room and could be used as a playroom.

At the rear, the open-plan kitchen/diner extends across the entire width of the property. The kitchen has been fitted with a range of modern units, an integrated dishwasher, space for a freestanding cooker and fridge-freezer, and contrasting coloured splashbacks. This generously sized room overlooks the rear of the property, with sash windows, a door to the rear garden, and a door to a useful utility room.

The lower ground floor is currently configured as a workshop and storage area. It can be accessed internally via stairs from the hallway or externally via a door at the front of the property.

On the first floor are four double bedrooms and a bathroom. The principal bedroom at the front retains similar proportions to the sitting room below and has bay sash windows, with limited city views beyond the neighbouring properties across the road. Next door, bedroom three shares a similar outlook through two sash windows and retains a cast-iron feature fireplace. Across the hall, bedrooms two and four are neatly decorated and carpeted with views overlooking the rear garden. The family bathroom completes the first floor and comprises a panelled bath, a vanity unit incorporating a wash-hand basin, a w.c., and windows to the side elevation. There is further scope to extend into a generous loft space, subject to the relevant permissions. The loft is currently accessed via a drop-down ladder and is partially boarded with plug-in lighting. The property is also equipped with solar panels on the roof which are income-generating and this would transfer to the new owner.

Outside, the impressive gardens surround the property and include a tiered vegetable patch, patio seating/BBQ area to the side, and a large garden at the rear. The rear garden is mostly laid to lawn, with two paved patio areas separated by raised beds along its borders. The garden provides a sublime and peaceful setting thanks to the many well-established plants, trees, and shrubs that have been carefully planted over the years and meticulously maintained. The front garden is also laid to lawn with a winding cobbled pathway to the side entrance, and mature trees and hedging offering privacy from the neighbouring properties. The gardens span the North, East, and South sides of the property, allowing for continuous sunshine throughout the day.

The local shops, cafes and restaurants along Gloucester Road and St Andrews Park are only a short walk away. The property is also within proximity to Fairlawn and Sefton Park Primary Schools and Fairlawn and Trinity Secondary Schools. Montpelier Station and Ashley Down Station are a short walk away and offer a direct route into Templemeads or up to Clifton Downs.
