Description

A fabulous Victorian Semi just waiting for someone with imagination to come along and put their stamp on it.

This unique property was originally called Woodland Villa when it was built in 1873. As you enter the house, you can feel the history coming through the walls. With lots of period features and a brilliant sized basement that has both internal and external access this house is not to be missed.

Approach:

Set back from the road, the long driveway leading up to the house lends a feeling of grandeur to the property.

The House

There is a good sized conservatory which is used as a porch, with floor to ceiling windows you could even use this space as an extra room.

Downstairs:

Once through the porch you enter a large hallway the highlight of which is the staircase with the spindle banister. Off the hallway there are various rooms the first is:

The lounge - is to the front of the property, its standout features are the high ceilings and the large bay window ensuring this room always feels bright, light and airy. The unusual brick fireplace completes the features.

You will also find the dining room another great room, that will be perfect for entertaining family and friends over some good home cooked food.

Beyond the dining room you come to the kitchen. There are plenty of cupboards and work surfaces on offer, meaning there is no shortage of space when you want to get creative with your baking.

There is a small porch off the kitchen that leads to the rear garden.

Completing the downstairs is a shower room, ideal for any guests.

Cellar

The door to the cellar is also off the hallway. The cellar is truly an eye opener with 2 large rooms, one of which still has the space in the chimney breast where the fire place will have been. The cellar will undoubtedly have been where the servants will have worked during the Victorian and Edwardian times, and it is in the cellar that you feel this house's history most acutely.

Upstairs;

You will find 2 good sized double rooms, both with fitted furniture and are great to escape to at the end of a long day. There is a 3rd bedroom that would make a perfect nursery/office or if you're feeling indulgent a dressing room.

Exterior

To the rear there is a paved garden complete with greenhouse.

There is also another outdoor space where you will find the steps leading to the external access to the cellar.
