Approached directly from St. Marys Road this handsome and imposing Victorian family home sits behind a low-level red brick wall. The in-and-out drive provides ample parking for multiple vehicles and access to the garage and home office above.

The property is beautifully appointed throughout and cleverly updated to retain all of its character and charm whilst feeling modern and contemporary in style.

Set under an attractive open-sided storm porch the front door opens to a vestibule with a large internal door opening to the magnificent octagon-shaped reception hallway. The impressive new but original Minton tile floor is stunning and adds interest and colour to the space. The eye is drawn upward to the high ceiling and lovely plasterwork detail. Doors radiate to all of the principal reception rooms and a staircase rises to the first floor landing area. There is also a useful guest cloakroom/WC and stairs down to the cellar.

The drawing room sits at the front of the house and is elegant and inviting. The solid Oak wooden floor provides a depth of warmth and a large walk-in bay window with wooden shutters floods the space with natural light. The open fireplace creates a further focal point with a lovely light marble surround.

The sitting room also located at the front of the house is currently used as a study. There is a lovely box bay window providing ample light and a lovely open fireplace again with a pale marble surround.

The large kitchen is well-fitted with a comprehensive range of floor mounted units with dark granite work surfaces over. A superb central island unit provides further storage and preparation space with a breakfast bar to one end, perfect for informal dining. There is a separate utility/laundry room next door with space for the larger appliances.

Light and bright, this superb space flows through to the dining room. The high ceiling provides a real sense of space. Flooded with natural light the window and French doors lead out to the rear patio terrace and provide lovely views of the garden. Double doors flow through to the wonderful family room.

The family room is a lovely comfortable space. In keeping with the rest of the house but with a cosy elegance. Light floods in through the French doors and window with lovely views over the rear gardens. This is a perfect room for relaxation. A large walk-in store room from the reception hallway, opposite the utility/laundry room, completes the downstairs accommodation.

The turning staircase rises to the first floor and at the half-landing, there is a unique window set in to the triangle projection to the side of the house. Two windows come together forming a glass corner, a really lovely feature.

The first floor landing provides access to four of the six double bedrooms and a large family bathroom.

The principal bedroom sits at the front of the house. Elegantly appointed this large bedroom is a relaxing space. The en suite shower room is very well-appointed and has the benefit of a double shower enclosure.

A separate entrance to the side of the property grants access to the self-contained annexe suite. This space would be perfect for independent elderly relatives or teenage siblings and is as well-appointed as the main house.

Double doors open from the driveway to the garage. There is a door to the side of the building opening to the staircase that rises to the home office/ study. A light bright dual aspect space would serve equally well as a gym or home studio.

Sitting to the rear of the garage there is a good size garden store and a gardeners' WC.

The garden is a private and tranquil space. Part walled with mature planted borders providing year-round colour, interest and privacy.
There is a lovely large patio terrace next to the house perfect for summertime entertaining.
