This family residence, located on St. Annes Road East offers fantastic living accommodation, set over two floors, where space and versatility are sought.
Built around 1900, and extended slightly more recently, this property boasts a fabulous entrance hallway, with a winding staircase to the first-floor gallery landing, four reception rooms, four large bedrooms, one with an en-suite, and a bathroom. There is also a ground-floor WC.
As you approach the property through the gates, you are greeted by beautifully tended gardens to the front with an abundance of lush established plants, shrubs, and trees. The driveway parking could potentially accommodate around ten vehicles with ease, and the detached garage could house two.
As we enter the home, the first thing to notice is the way in which the current owners, have managed to save so much of the original 'bullseye' and stained glass, by incorporating it into the double and triple glazing throughout. As well as the glazing, there are so many features that give a nod to the era in which the home was built, whilst still offering modern conveniences.
The stunning entrance hallway offers a Chandelier, high ceilings, with decorative cornices and finishes, and an open winding staircase. The beautiful stained-glass window above fills the space with lots of natural light. There is a large storage cupboard underneath the staircase.
The formal living room is large and inviting with more period features. An archway 'frames' the inset living flame gas fire, set into a surround. The feature windows on either side simply make you want to look with admiration. There is a walk-in box bay window overlooking the front gardens. A centre Chandelier, accompanied by wall lights again, gives this modern living room, a subtle nod towards its history.
The formal dining room offers lots of space for entertainment and views of the rear garden. There is an open-feature fireplace and windows to the side elevation. A full-width, four-riser staircase takes you down to the Garden Room. The Garden Room is a relaxing area, which looks out onto the southward-facing rear garden and provides the perfect area to relax whilst the bi-folding doors open out onto the patio, giving this room a true 'inside/outside' feel to it.
Heading from the hallway, past the ground floor WC, and toward the kitchen, we walk through an informal 'morning breakfast room'. A more relaxed dining room, which also doubles up as an office area. There is a living flame gas fire, set into a decorative surround, and large bay windows to the side aspect. This is a versatile reception room and could be used for many purposes.
The kitchen, which has been fitted recently, offers a good range of wall, base, and larder cupboards, plus a double-door 'pantry' cupboard. All units are fronted with wood-grained shaker-style doors, and complimented by quartz worktops. Integrated appliances include a fridge freezer and an inset sink with a mixer tap, Neff appliances include a dishwasher, a high-level electric oven, a combination microwave and a five-ring induction hob with extractor hood above. A peninsula houses extra drawer space, and a wine fridge, again another perfect area to host family and friends as there is space for bar seating. TV points. There are large windows to the side elevation, making this a bright and airy kitchen.
A door takes you into the utility room, where you will find further storage cupboards, a sink/drainer, and the boiler. A stable door leads to the rear garden.
Climbing to the first floor, the galleried landing is overseen by another large Chandelier. Access is given to the bedrooms, bathroom, and loft.
The primary bedroom offers a selection of fitted cupboards and a bay window to the front elevation. A door leads into the four-piece en-suite. Here you will find a corner bath, a double shower cubicle, a wash basin set into vanity cupboards, and a WC. An opaque window opens to the side aspect.
The second bedroom is a very similar size to the primary and offers lots of space. There is also a range of built-in storage and a vanity station. Windows overlook the rear garden.
Bedroom three is a good-sized double and has fitted furniture. A window overlooks the front gardens.
And finally, bedroom four is double-sized and is currently used for storage. There are windows to the side and rear elevation.
The four-piece bathroom comprises; a bath, a double shower cubicle, and a wash basin. An opaque window opens to the side. There is a separate WC.
Externally, the driveway leads from the front of the property to the rear, there is a large detached double garage, with an electric door. Ideal for housing cars, or to use as a workshop.
The rear garden features a flagged patio leading to the lawn. From here, there is a feast of colour and fragrance from the perfectly manicured borders. A bespoke-made fishpond takes centre stage and can be enjoyed whilst sitting under the wooden pergola adjacent. Beyond, there are further established areas, plus a storage shed. A second 'shed' is a roll-off roof observatory built by the current owner to pursue his interest in astrophotography. The floor does require some attention, however, this shed could also potentially be used to house a hot tub - perfect with the roof open or closed.
WHAT THE SELLER LOVES - When asked, our sellers tell us that they love the varied spaces that the home offers. It is great for growing families, to give each member their own space and independence. They also tell us that the garden is their 'little haven'. They carefully planned the layout, and what they wanted to achieve. It is safe to say, their ideas certainly came together.
WHAT THE AGENT LOVES - Well really, what is there not to love? Just walking up the drive, you know there is something special awaiting. Entering the hallway gives a sneak peek of what to expect beyond. This is a beautiful home, that is now ready for the next owner to put their stamp on. There is plenty of space internal and external, and the garden is simply beautiful.
If you would like the opportunity to own a substantial family home, in a highly sought-after location, then we suggest you arrange a viewing on St. Annes Road East by calling[use Contact Agent Button].
