Property description

Victoria mansions is one of four properties which were subject to a full re-development and refurbishment programme in the early 2000s. It has also been recently remodelled by the current owners and has 2,417 sq. ft. of accommodation over three floors which blends modern amenities with period features including high ceilings detailed with moulded covings and roses. The ground floor has a hall with a cloakroom, a sitting room, a dining/family room and an open plan refitted kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility room. The five bedrooms are on the first and second floors. The principal and guest bedrooms both have en suites, and there is a contemporary bathroom on the second floor. Remotely operated iron gates open to a cobbled drive providing parking for up to four cars and an electric fast charging point. Further parking for two cars is at the rear in front of the double garage. The rear gardens are southerly facing, fully enclosed and have been professionally landscaped.
