DESCRIPTION:
A significant Grade II listed family house in this highly regarded and sought after road

ACCOMMODATION:
A Grade II listed family house constructed circa 1893 from stone elevations, with Bath stone dressing, under a pitched and tiled roof with a hanging tiled gable. Arranged over four floors, the significant accommodation includes a lower ground floor, which can be self contained creating an independent annexe for an au-pair, relative or income. The property provides a generous and well appointed interior with many traditional features in evidence. The front door to the vestibule has ornate carved stonework with cartouches and an impressive pediment. Principal rooms are bright and spacious and bedrooms enjoy east, west orientations. The significant footprint caters for a degree of flexibility within the interior where en-suite bathrooms can be added, subject to the necessary planning consents. The property stands within a generous plot with ornamental gardens and has the benefit of parking and plenty of storage throughout. Approached to the side elevation there is a traditional vestibule, reception hall, study and cloakroom, the former featuring the original tessalated flooring, leaded windows, ceiling detail, architraves and rising staircase to the upper floors. The drawing room has a magnificent deep bay with secondary glazed windows, a Minster fireplace with open flue is the focal point. Adjacent is a more relaxed sitting room with a detailed ceiling and cornice and this room can be separated from the dining area and kitchen beyond. The kitchen features an array of wall and base units, an integrated range cooker, traditional dresser and a designated dining area. The utility is the link to the rear garden, as well as the lower ground floor, which as previously mentioned could be self contained. The first floor features a generous landing with a stained and leaded window to the side and three bedrooms served by the family bathroom. There is scope for an en-suite facility in the landing which would not detract from the space and light currently noted. The second bedroom has a contemporary fireplace, a walk-in wardrobe and a door leading onto a balcony to the front elevation, whilst the third bedroom also includes an Edwardian fireplace and a deep walk-in storage cupboard. On the top floor there are four bedrooms of differing sizes, which are served by another comprehensive bathroom. The lower ground floor incorporates an occasional sitting room, games room, kitchen and shower room, as well as a garden store and various ancillary stores. The property is approached to the front elevation via a vehicular drive with off street car parking and includes a sloping lawned garden. The rear garden has been transformed with a large terrace and sunken courtyard, which is an ideal al fresco dining space, steps from the kitchen/ utility provide direct access from the house. The rear garden has been imaginatively designed, laid to lawn and bounded by sleepers with an intimate dining area, which captures the morning sun with a further pergola and seating area for the evening sun. A large deck provides dappled shade during the heat of the midday sun and adjacent is the well stocked ornamental pond. The curtilage is enclosed by stone walls, fencing and mature planting, which provides a private screen from the neighbouring houses.
