Description
SUMMARY
A substantial four-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian property built in 1897 set across three floors
with a loft conversion, off-road parking, garage and rear garden.
DESCRIPTION
A well-maintained, rarely available south-east facing Victorian villa with a charming front garden and secure walled rear garden. The ground floor comprises of an open hall with storage, two living rooms or sitting room and additional bedroom and a spacious breakfast room with large storage cupboard and a 4-oven gas-fired Aga.
The breakfast room leads into a fitted kitchen with a large single door offering views to the mature rear garden, with a side return for bin and hose storage, a brick patio area used for seating, a separate area for a table and chairs, and a large summerhouse. There is also a log store, coal bunker, access to the garage and a secure gate to the well-maintained pathway which runs at the back of the terrace. There are four bedrooms in total, with three on the first floor including a large shower room and separate WC. A bath could be reinstated quite easily in place of the large shower cubicle.
Bedroom Four has Velux windows with blinds, including a fire escape window, and is accessed via a spiral staircase, currently used as a home office. There is ample storage space in the eaves cupboards as well as space for a cupboard on the loft landing, and there is a built-in wardrobe and hidden shelving.
Externally, the garage boasts power and lighting, with shelving, worktop, and space under for extra appliances, and has an off-road parking space accessed via a shared driveway in Centrecourt Road. There is also residents' parking for 2 cars.
Porch
Entrance Hall
The original pine front door opens into the hallway which offers a bright and welcoming entrance
to the property. There are stripped floorboards, dado rail and skirting, and the use of colour and
pattern is in sympathy with the feel and age of the property. The staircase is covered with a
neutral loop-style carpet, and the original cast iron newel post at the foot of the original staircase
has been stripped and blackened. The stripped skirting, doors and architraves continue
throughout the hallway and onto the landing of both floors. The original coving, archway and
corbels are intact, and the hallway has a chandelier and spotlights so it is a bright and airy space.
A double radiator is behind a decorative radiator cover, and there is a matching cupboard housing
the electricity meter.
Sitting Room 13' 9" x 12' 2" ( 4.19m x 3.71m )
The sitting room faces south-east and combines a modern aesthetic with Victorian elegance. The
stripped floorboards, skirtings and heritage decor are complemented by a feature original
fireplace (swept annually) and can burn smokeless coal and/or kiln-dried wood. The hearth is the
original green Victorian tiling. There is also a double radiator. The tall timber sash double-glazed
windows in the bay allow plenty of light, keep the room warm, and are complemented by fitted
white Venetian blinds. The alcoves either side of the chimney breast have built-in painted pine
shelving, and there is space for freestanding cupboards under. The room takes two or three sofas
comfortably. There is ample wall space for artwork or photos, and the hedges and cherry tree in
the pretty front garden provide screening for privacy and against bright sunlight. There is a ceiling
rose, original picture rail and ornate coving to the ceiling, and a stripped pine door with porcelain
knob and escutcheon.
Reception Room/Snug 12' 6" x 9' 2" ( 3.81m x 2.79m )
The second reception room is such a cosy room, and very versatile in that it has been used for
formal dining, an office/study, music room, and even an extra bedroom for guests with a sofa bed.
This room is currently being used as a TV room/snug during the colder months as it has a logburning
stove (swept annually) which can also burn smokeless coal. There is also a double
radiator behind the radiator cover. There is built-in painted pine shelving in the left hand alcove
and there is space for a cupboard underneath. Stripped floorboards and the stripped door add to
the warm feel of this homely and stylishly decorated space.
Kitchen/Breakfast Room 21' x 10' 6" ( 6.40m x 3.20m )
Stepping down through the stripped pine breakfast room door, there is room for a dresser and a
table, and there is a double radiator below the stripped pine sash window. Opposite the window is
a beautiful royal blue 4 oven gas Aga, offering warmth, cooking and a great place to dry washing.
The gentle heat from the Aga permeates the whole of this area and drifts up the stairs keeping the
hallway, stairs and landing toasty and welcoming. There is a tall under-stairs cupboard housing
the gas meter which offers great storage capacity, and the boiler is concealed within a painted
pine cupboard. Further painted cupboards and a dark worktop lead into the run of units in the
kitchen, which has a dishwasher, washing machine, integral under-counter fridge, stainless steel
sink and a large recently installed double glazed patio door leading to the rear garden.
Mediterranean tile colours behind the Aga and above the worktop provide visual interest and the
large space is both spacious and homely, as well as functional and well laid-out with ample
storage and worktop area. There are also two windows which were replaced in October 2024,
meaning this north-west facing area maximises light and benefits from full evening sunshine
during the summer months. The kitchen floor is tiled for practicality.
The kitchen leads to a mature rear garden with space for seating, dining and relaxing, and there is
a pretty summerhouse which is used regularly by the current owners as a space to relax and read.
The secure walled garden has privacy fencing and there are two outside taps, as well as a hidden
space for recycling and general waste bins.
Lower Landing
Decorated in the same colours and patterns as the hallway leading to:
Family Shower Room
The modernised bathroom is also fully-tiled and the bath has been removed in favour of a large
shower cubicle with white shower tray, rainfall shower head, separate hand-held shower head and
glass screens. A bath could easily be reinstated. There is a powerful extractor fan above the
shower, which boasts a secondary fan further along the pipe run. This continues removing steam
for 10 minutes after the first fan has stopped. There is a double-glazed sash-style UPVC window
with top opening, chrome towel rail, white sink with mirrored cupboard above, and a shelved
airing cupboard housing the shower pump and the immersion tank (which runs from the gas boiler
and also has the option to be heated by electricity).
Bedroom Three 10' 6" x 9' 6" ( 3.20m x 2.90m )
The first of the four double bedrooms has a double radiator under the pretty double-glazed timber
sliding sash window, and offers enough space for a double bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers.
Currently used for guests, this colour-drenched room also has an original cast iron feature
fireplace, along with laminate flooring and a fitted white wooden Venetian blind.
Upper Landing
Accessed by 3 steps leading to:
Bedroom Four 12' 6" x 9' 10" ( 3.81m x 3.00m )
This pretty bedroom is airy and light, decorated in Laura Ashley wallpaper with a built-in original
cupboard in the left hand alcove, and space for a double bed and drawers. The current owners
use this as a guest bedroom and there is room for a dressing table or desk across the chimney
breast.
(main) Bedroom One 17' 1" x 15' 9" ( 5.21m x 4.80m )
This bedroom is the highlight of this home, with a wood-effect hard floor, space for a king size
bed and enough room for a large sofa. There is a ceiling fan for when the room is warm in the
summer, and the original very decorative ceiling rose, original picture rail and ornate coving to the
ceiling, and a stripped pine door. The huge floor to ceiling double glazed timber sliding sash
windows in the bay and above the front door make this such a bright space, and the neutral decor
showcases the feature original fireplace, which is the same design as in the living room. This room
makes a wonderful extra sitting room for parents in a busy household, but it also has the potential
to be split into two rooms as other similar properties have done.
Spiral Staircase To Loft Room
Metal Spiral Victorian Style Staircase leading to Loft Room Landing which has a Velux over
the staircase and room underneath for a storage cupboard. The landing is decorated in a bright
contemporary wallpaper and has a fire door into:
(loft) Bedroom Two 15' 9" x 11' 10" ( 4.80m x 3.61m )
Currently used as an office space, this light and bright room with 3 Velux windows has been built
inside the roof space so there are no flat roofs or dormer windows to worry about in terms of
maintenance, and the entire roofscape of the house is visible for peace of mind. The room has
space for a double bed and has been used as a bedroom in the past, and there is a built-in
wardrobe with hanging space and shelves, as well as cupboards leading to eaves storage which
run the entire width of the property’s roof space both front and back. A fire escape approved
window offers safety, and the building regulations mean that all floors in the house have hardwired
smoke detectors. The room has a laminate floor and is a great space for a teenage hangout
and is insulated so well it has been used for band practices in the past.
Summer House 6' 3" x 5' 11" ( 1.91m x 1.80m )
Garage 16' 5" x 7' 10" ( 5.00m x 2.39m )
