5 bedroom terraced house for sale

Handsome and imposing late Victorian townhouse in a prime position with beautiful garden and ample parking, located in a conservation area within easy reach of the city centre and main line stations.

3 Victoria Road is an imposing and stylish 5 bedroom Victorian townhouse, dating from around 1886, in a prime position within close proximity and easy access to the city centre. The property is accompanied by a beautiful rear garden and parking for several cars; a real bonus for such a centrally located home.

This deceptively spacious, inviting and versatile family home, with approximately 2,678 sq ft of accommodation, retains many period features but has been modernised to include contemporary fixtures and fittings.

The present owners have thoughtfully renewed and updated the property whilst retaining the integrity of the building. For example, complete re-roofing and insulation to the main building, also the basement ceiling space, restoration of the front sandstone façade, external decorations and maintenance, re-modelling of all 3 bathrooms, conversion of a bathroom to a bedroom (although plumbing remains in place to revert if necessary), addition of an extension which provides a utility room, office space and a stunning west-facing roof terrace.

3 Victoria Road comprises; striking entrance porch with original flooring leading into a generous size entrance hall, shower room and sitting room with original style fireplace. Kitchen with breakfast/snug area and central island, wine cooler, 5 burner hob, integrated dishwasher, washing machine, Neff double oven with extractor. From the kitchen there is access to a spectacular Dining/Garden Room with skylight allowing light to flood through, ornate fireplace with woodburner and bi-folding doors onto the garden patio. There is a further useful utility area with door to the garden and bright office space with oversized windows enjoying the delightful garden views - both having vaulted ceilings. There is also a useful basement space.

Additionally, a toughened glass floor pane in the office allows viewing of a 1850s vertical tubular boiler which we understand to be one of only three left in the country.

To the first floor are three bedrooms some having built-in cupboards and master bedroom with stylish en suite shower room. Two further bedrooms, family bathroom and spectacular roof terrace with wonderful far reaching roof top views on the second floor.

OUTSIDE
The picturesque private and generously-sized rear garden has been carefully considered and cleverly zoned with an array of established trees and planting to include Japanese Cherries, Oleander, acers and wisterias.

At the rear is a useful covered bike store, bin store and entry to the shared driveway providing parking for three cars.
