With light and character this four bedroom period house has a sunny garden, glorious open views at the back and is child friendly with a practical layout. In a quiet but convenient location, local schools are good and you’ve hit the jackpot as it is in the same parking zone as London Road Station, a good portion of the vibrant shopping and cafes of London Road as well as Fiveways village- and three parks: The Level for skating and paddle pool, Blakers for a playground and Preston Park for sports! Inside, three fabulous levels have two entrances from the street and big rooms raise interesting possibilities of creating the home of your dreams on all floors or a two bedroom maisonette with separate one bed annexe, so it is a good investment, too. The tenants are currently on a 12 month contract, so the property is available with tenants in situ.

Within minutes of the heart of the city, this attractive period terrace does not have houses directly behind so you get a rare impression of space and plenty of birdsong for such a central spot. The house has period charm and it is only when you open the front door that you realise just how big it really is. Inside is stylish with a no nonsense attitude, with practical flooring throughout and a layout to make the best use of the garden.

Downstairs, the living room has its own entrance from the street, raising options if you were thinking of working from home or creating an annexe, and built in an age reliant on natural light it has plenty of it. Classically beautiful proportions allow for plenty of space to share and there is an easy flow – and a hatch - to the cheerful kitchen which has a relaxed retro feel. Time, however, is on your side if this look is not for you as it has everything you need to get started with freestanding appliances which could stay whilst you decide whether or not to knock these two rooms through to create the entertaining space of your dreams. At the far end, an inner lobby has a large cupboard on one side which keeps this whole floor uncluttered and a door to the garden at the other, making al fresco entertaining easy.

Outside, the walled garden with fencing at the back is child and pet secure and is paved with side borders for ease of maintenance. A blank canvas at the moment, this could easily transform into a delightful oasis to return to after a busy day in the city. Returning inside, the bathroom is tucked away, decorated in the colours of the sea with an electric shower above the bath, so water pressure is not an issue.

Upstairs has its own front door and hallway from the quiet road, so it would be relatively easy to make these two floors into a maisonette subject to the usual consents. Useful as it is, especially for health professionals or flight staff who sometimes work unsocial hours and want to return without disturbing the main house, all four rooms are big and bright. Those at the back have energy efficient windows framing a fabulous, open cityscape and up on the first floor at the front the master bedroom at 14’7 x 10’8 spans the full width of the building and already has fitted wardrobes in place.

Agent says:

“In this secret, convenient area of the city it has become increasingly difficult to find a property which you can make your own, and this three storey house with two street entrances offers interesting options.”

Owner’s secret:

“Our neighbours are now friends and the area is ideal for a family as well as a couple. The house is always light and we love the feeling of space with the open views at the back.”
