AN INTRODUCTION Quiet and leafy, you'll feel a million miles away from the stress of the city whilst being just 5 minutes from the station and bustling shops and restaurants. Built in the 1870's, this Villa is one of a pair and has genteel character with decorative features, bay windows and formal gardens scented by lavender and rosemary, whilst Corinthian pillars adorn the imposing entrance. Inside, the hallway's inviting with burnished floorboards, high ceiling and sweeping staircase, and sensitively brought into the 21st century, there's a large guest cloakroom and boiler room discreetly tucked away. MAIN RECEPTION Designed to impress, sunlight streams through this magnificent room of grand proportions where the stately fireplace adds warmth as well as character. Decorated in the refined tones of Farrow and Ball, the hand crafted floating shelving brings a subtle, contemporary feel to the space, and great care has been taken not to disturb the delicate, original frieze which continues to wend its way around the room high above your head.
"Every room is light and spacious, the garden is perfect for family and for celebrations, and the street is safe, friendly and very convenient." - Vendor s comments THE KITCHEN DINER AND UTILITY LUXURY BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS Fuss free, the fabulous kitchen/diner's family friendly. Party perfect, it opens to a wrought iron balcony which steps down to the garden. The heart of this home, there's an easy flow around the room, with plenty of space for dining tables and sofas, with the kitchen working area safely tucked away behind an island which doubles as a bar for breakfasts and homework as you bake the incentive to finish. Thoughtfully designed, this is a timeless classic with everything to hand. Ivory units conceal sophisticated storage solutions and are topped by sturdy wood work surfaces. The dishwasher's integrated beneath the Belfast sink and the Rangemaster could stay, subject to circumstance and negotiation. Once a bathroom- and sensibly central to the house on the first floor landing - the utility is big, bright and cheerful, with natural light.
GOOD TO KNOW While the self contained apartment could be incorporated back into the house as extra bedrooms or reception areas, it could also be used as a guest/au pair annex, holiday or full-time let to provide the new owner with a supplementary income. THE MASTER BEDROOM, FIRST FLOOR Romantic and restful, the large master bedroom gazes across your spacious garden - so it's not overlooked. Ready to move into and noticeably quiet, there's an original cupboard by the handsome marble fireplace and attractive Farrow & Ball wallpaper. THE TWO FIRST FLOOR BEDROOMS, CLOAKROOM AND BATHROOM Two spacious bedrooms each have their own character. The room at the front looks over the tree lined avenue and has a lit, walk in closet whilst at the back, there are views over gardens. There's an extra cloakroom on this floor and you can bathe in glory in a freestanding baignoir, which has a shower attachment, or enjoy a refreshing shower with a dual head system.
TWO SECOND FLOOR BEDROOMS Full of light and brimming with character, two light and airy double bedrooms each have open views. Currently used as a private study by its famous owner, the front room has ample shelving and under eave storage. At the back, this room's also ready for your move with fitted wardrobes already in place. THE TWO BEDROOM APARTMENT LUXURY BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS With plenty of character of its own, the apartment is ideal if you're searching for a property of two halves as it's just as stylish as the main house with spacious, light rooms and if you wanted to, you could re-join the two, subject to consents. It has a private entrance at the side of the property, immaculate single and double bedrooms and the living room looks over the garden. The kitchen/ breakfast room has an integrated gas hob, electric oven, extractor hood and dishwasher as well as access to a utility area and the central bathroom has all you need including a shower above the bath.
