5 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

A 3,534 sq ft Victorian residence situated in the heart of the conservation area, conveniently positioned for the town centre, Carrs Park and train station, set within a 0.32 acre plot.

Description

This timelessly attractive Victorian semi-detached home offers spacious and beautifully appointed accommodation extending to approximately 3,376 sq ft over four floors. The property has been sympathetically upgraded in recent years to create a classically styled family home which seamlessly combines original features such as sash windows, stained glass, panelled doors, ceiling cornicing and picture rails with modern elegant features including plantation shutters and lavish décor. Worthy of note is the fantastic potential this property offers for further improvement through remodeling, extension and/or full conversion of the cellars (subject to the relevant consents), as demonstrated by other properties on Hawthorn Lane. Plans have been commissioned by the vendor which are available to view upon request.

The stunning original front door with stained glass panels and window detailing allows soft diffused light to enter into the welcoming entrance hall with tiled flooring flowing to the ground floor rooms. To the left of the hall is the attractive living room featuring a charming bay window with stained glass detailing, original open fireplace and period decorative features creating the perfect ambience for relaxing. A sophisticated sitting room lies to the far side of the hallway, with generous proportions and period detailing including a high ceiling and a feature fireplace with glorious views of the rear gardens.

The traditional kitchen/diner is beautifully appointed at the rear of the property, designed with in-frame hand painted units, black granite surfaces and a range of comprehensive appliances. These include a Britannia range cooker, Neff integrated dishwasher and space for an American fridge/freezer. Wooden French doors leads out onto the raised decking area, with elevated views of the gardens and parkland beyond. Stairs lead from the kitchen to the basement level with cellars, which provide a versatile space with one chamber currently being used as utility area, one as an occasional living room onto the gardens and the other as storage. These chambers would perfectly suit full conversion for a variety of uses.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is a stylish WC with Savoy sanitaryware.

A galleried landing to the first floor leads to three generously proportioned bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom and a well-appointed traditionally styled family bathroom with sash windows and a bath. The principal bedroom benefits from bespoke fitted mirrored walk-in wardrobes providing plenty of storage and a classically styled en suite with bath.

To the second floor there are a further two double bedrooms and a single bedroom/dressing room, all of which feature vaulted ceilings and are served by an additional bathroom with bath. To the second floor landing there is fitted storage.

To the front of the property a gravel driveway set behind brick walling and established laurel hedging provides ample off road parking and access to the garage. To the rear the enclosed and private gardens are mainly laid to lawn and enjoy a private aspect adjoining the Carrs Park with an expansive porcelain stone patio area and raised decking off the kitchen providing ideal spaces for outdoor entertaining.
