A substantial detached Victorian family home, thoughtfully modernised and extended, offering elegant accommodation, mature gardens and good access to the station, town centre and schools.
Description
Set back along a leafy residential avenue within easy reach of the town centre, 42 College Avenue is a fine example of a detached Victorian residence dating from circa 1895, offering generous proportions and a thoughtful balance of period character and contemporary comfort.
The house is entered via an elegant reception hall, where the original Victorian tiled floor has been carefully preserved and extended to complement later additions. Throughout the property, replaced bespoke wooden double glazed sash windows, provide excellent natural light while maintaining the home’s architectural integrity.
The refurbished sitting room, is a particularly attractive space, featuring solid wood parquet flooring laid in individual blocks, high skirting boards moulded to match the originals, ceiling roses and restored coving. A wood burning stove, and Victorian style radiators complete the room’s refined yet welcoming atmosphere.
The accommodation flows seamlessly through to the dining area and into the kitchen, which forms the heart of the house. Located within a rear extension, the kitchen was designed and fitted by John Lewis of Hungerford in their Artisan Shaker style, finished in Fired Earth “Dutch White”. A vaulted ceiling enhances the sense of space, while granite worktops, a central island and views across the garden make this a highly functional and elegant family space. At the rear, bespoke bi fold doors open directly onto the terrace, creating a strong connection between house and garden.
The ground floor offers exceptional versatility, with a guest bedroom or family room, a further study, a garden room, a dedicated playroom and a well appointed utility room, allowing for flexible living arrangements well suited to modern family life.
On the first floor, four generous bedrooms continue the theme of light and proportion. The principal suite enjoys a vaulted ceiling, three remote controlled electric Velux windows and a well appointed en suite shower room. Both bathrooms have remotely activated showers, in addition to standard controls. Three further double bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom.
The house has been carefully maintained and upgraded, with a Megaflow hot water system providing excellent water pressure throughout, complemented by a Harveys water softener.
Outside, the garden offers both privacy and scale. A broad wrap around terrace extends directly from the kitchen, ideal for outdoor entertaining, while the lawn is bordered by mature planting with a pathway leading to rear.
A private walled driveway provides parking for several vehicles with EV charging point hidden in porch recess
