Built towards the end of the 19th Century, this delightful blonde sandstone Victorian semi detached villa offers exceptional family accommodation. The property has been further extended and in total offers over 1600 square feet of accommodation over two floors and with the house enjoying lovely level, mature and enclosed garden grounds.
The gardens to the front are entered through twin timber doors leading into a gravelled parking area that can accommodate several cars. The gardens are enclosed by fencing, hedging and mature trees providing a good deal of privacy and there is a pathway leading down the side of the house to the back of the property. The gardens at the rear are a notable feature and offer a large lawned area along with a slabbed patio and again, all enclosed by timber fencing, hedging and mature trees. The gardens are perfect for family living, being totally safe for children to play and for entertaining.
The interior of the property is beautifully presented and with well laid out, versatile accommodation. On entering, an outer vestibule with twin timber storm doors leads through to the reception hall. The main reception hall features a staircase to the upper landing along with under stair storage and to the front of the house is beautiful bay windowed formal lounge that features a limestone fire surround with living flame gas fire and display alcove adjacent. To the rear of the lounge is a spacious, bright and open plan family/dining room and kitchen area with French doors opening out on to the patio and with a further door leading through to the extended part of the house at the rear where there is a comfortable sitting room with sliding patio doors out to the gardens and with an adjacent wc compartment. There is also a door from the rear hallway out to the gardens. The kitchen has been refitted and comes with modern wall mounted and counter level units and a range of appliances. From the kitchen there is a door with staircase leading up to a very useful rear facing office/study.
Moving back to the main reception hall, the staircase ascends to an upper landing which has a window to the side providing good natural light and from here there is access to the master bedroom which is a bay windowed double room to the front of the house. It enjoys its own modern ensuite shower room which has been created and has a shower enclosure, vanity wash hand basin and wc. There are three further bedrooms on this level (one to the front and two to the rear) along with the main family bathroom, which again has been beautifully refitted and comes with a modern three piece suite. The house is double glazed and comes with gas fired central heating.
