5 bedroom semi-detached house

Every once in a while, a very special home is brought to the market. This beautiful late Victorian villa fulfils that accolade and exceeds expectations offering 5 bedrooms with corresponding ground floor entertaining space, all complemented by a magnificent mature rear garden extending to 0.19 acre with a brick construction purpose-built office, shed/workshop and garage.

Originally constructed in 1902, later sympathetically extended to create a spacious and versatile home retaining and restoring many of its period features including the high corniced ceilings, joinery, internal doors, and open fireplaces. The accommodation is currently laid out as three reception rooms, a gorgeous kitchen/breakfast room and 5 bedrooms, four of these are double bedrooms and the fifth was formally a bathroom that could be easily restated. The family bathroom has been luxuriously appointed with a reproduction 4-piece period style suite including a claw foot bath, a separate shower cubicle and underfloor heating. The reception hall sets the scene with its Karndean oak floor, original turned spindle balustrade and deep understairs storage cupboards. To the front is a bay fronted morning room is an intimate quiet space retaining its open brick fireplace with over mantle. The separate living room is a larger elegant room, once again retaining its open fireplace and corniced ceiling. To one side is a built-in bookcase and French doors lead into a large double-glazed conservatory. This has been upgraded with the addition of a new insulated “cosy roof” installed in 2022, making it a year-round useable room. Adjoining is the kitchen/breakfast room that has been handcrafted by Ashford Kitchens & Interiors, with a range of Sheraton Shaker style units finished in limestone with polished Caesarstone, White Attica worktops and integrated appliances including a Bertazzoni professional range cooker, water softener, Neff washing machine, refrigerator, freezer and microwave.

The overall plot extends to approximately 0.23 acre with the rear garden extending to 0.19 acre (L-shaped 134’ x 69’). A large terrace runs across the rear of the property stepping down to an extensive lawn bordered by mature shrub beds and inset with a summer house. To the side is a further patio and a brick-built shed/workshop. To the rear left-hand corner is a magnificent walnut tree enclosed by a raised semi-circular patio. Opposite is a purpose built, brick construction office with a terrace to the front positioned to catch the late afternoon sun. To the side of the house is a gated front access leading to a driveway for 2 vehicles and an integral garage.
