Nowadays, living on a leafy road —wherever it may be — provides a tranquil place to reside, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. OnTheMaket.com looks at five such properties.
Avenues have been part of urban landscaping for hundreds of years. Their design can be seen in towns and cities all over Europe and America. Better known as ‘avenidas’ in Spain and ‘boulevards’ in France, they bring a sense of air and light to cities. Strictly speaking, an avenue should be lined with trees, but it can be any size. When Haussmann renovated Paris, his unification of the city —with its wide tree-lined boulevards — makes it what it is today.
1. Kingsmead Avenue, Worcester Park, Surrey (£850,000 Winkworth, Worcester Park)
Quiet: The house is detached and set back from the road
Immaculate: The garden has been very well maintained
Spread over 1,800 square feet, this property provides a great space, located on one of the area’s most desirable roads. The house is found in Worcester Park, known as one of London’s greener suburbs, so residents benefit from being close to the city but are removed from the daily stresses of living in the capital. The whole house has been finished to a very high standard, having recently been refurbished. The five bedrooms are all spacious and have a unique character. The property boasts a roof terrace with panoramic views, which can be accessed via two of the bedrooms. The garden features a large lawn area and a raised patio, perfect for al fresco dining and relaxing on balmy summer evenings.

2. Comely Bank Avenue, Edinburgh, Midlothian (£395,000 Rettie & Co, Edinburgh)
Quintessentially Edinburgh: The flat is found on a typically designed Edinburgh street
Outside space: The property benefits from access to a shared garden
Travelling up north to Edinburgh, the next property is an elegant and sizeable first floor flat. Throughout the years the owners have refurbished and renovated the property but have preserved many of the finer period details, which creates a wonderful combination of traditional and modern design. The flat is set back from the street and the entrance leads on to a large reception hall and living room with big bay windows. The flat has three spacious bedrooms, with the master benefiting from a walk in wardrobe. The front of the house has lovely views over Edinburgh’s Learmonth Gardens, whilst the rear has access to a communal walled garden.

Picturesque: The house is sat on a pretty Manchester avenue
Stylish: The refurbishment gives the house a sleek look
Found in one of Manchester’s most popular villages, this West Didsbury property has a great location. Arley Avenue sits in a very well connected area, being right beside the M60 and the M56, with the M6 just a short drive away. Getting to the city centre is easy and Manchester’s airport and Burnage railway station are both close by. The property, like others we’ve looked at today, has been meticulously renovated to an exceptional standard. It consists of three bedrooms, a living room and dining room, which opens up onto a large kitchen. The bedrooms are all doubles and have the advantage of being double-glazed. The cellar has the potential to be converted into a games room or an extra bedroom. Residents can enjoy a private southwest facing courtyard to the rear of the house.
