Property description
A late Victorian five bedroom, four bathroom detached Villa in the conservation area, within walking distance of The Embankment, town centre, mainline railway station and Harpur Trust schools.
The property was restored and refurbished approximately 20 years ago and retains a number of period features blended with modern amenities for modern family life. The accommodation extends to in excess of 3,000 sq. ft. over four floors including the cellar which is currently used as a utility room. There are three separate reception rooms, a split level kitchen/breakfast/family room with bi-fold doors connecting to the garden, and a cloakroom on the ground floor. The five double bedrooms are on the upper floors. The three bedrooms on the first floor all have an en suite and there is a shower room on the second floor. The property occupies a prominent position set behind an ornate wall with inset railings. The driveway is also used by the neighbouring property and gives access to a private parking area for up to three cars. A gated gravelled area provides access to the landscaped rear garden which includes a garden shed.
Reception Rooms
The dining room has an original sash bay window to the front and the sitting room has glazed doors to a covered outdoor entertaining area. Both rooms have a traditional style fireplace housing Living Flame gas fires. The snug also has glazed doors to the covered area, and has a deep fireplace recess with built-in cupboards on one side. Many of the rooms have moulded ceiling covings, roses and picture and dado rails.
Kitchen/Breakfast/Family Room
The kitchen is fitted with a range of cream fronted Shaker style cabinets with complementary granite work surfaces incorporating a sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a range cooker with an extractor over, a dishwasher and a microwave and there is space and plumbing for an American style fridge/freezer. The dual aspect breakfast/family area has glazed bi fold doors to the rear.
Gardens
A gated side access leads to the rear garden which has a paved outdoor entertaining area which continues to the side of the house where it is covered by a glazed gazebo for year round use. The gardens have been professionally landscaped and are on varying levels including a gravelled pathway at the rear. They are mainly lawned with well stocked borders and mature trees including fruit trees. There is a timber garden shed and a greenhouse.
Situation and Schooling
The property is within walking distance of the Castle Quarter which has a variety of shops including coffee shops, a supermarket and public houses and restaurants. Russell Park and The Embankment are also within walking distance. The mainline railway station is approximately 1 mile away and has services to St Pancras International taking 47 minutes. The property is in catchment for Castle Newnham School which is rated as Outstanding by Ofsted, and there are also the Harpur Trust and other independent schools.
