Description
42 Birling Road is an exceptionally spacious detached family house believed to have been the original show house to the Birling Park Avenue cul-de-sac and enjoying an elevated position with wonderful far reaching townscape views towards Mount Ephraim and beyond.
Coming to the market for the first time in 43 years, the house is presented in good order throughout and, although has clearly been very well maintained, would now benefit from a degree of updating and offers its new owner an exciting opportunity to put their own stamp on the property thereby creating a wonderful long term family home. Points of particular note include: -
Accommodation
* A large double aspect drawing room with an open fireplace and double doors to the generously proportioned dining room. Both of these rooms open up into the very large conservatory which has two sets of French doors to the rear garden. This whole area really is a superb, spacious entertaining space for family gatherings etc.
* The kitchen/breakfast room is well-fitted with a range of wall and base units set beneath tiled worksurfaces with inset double stainless steel sink and drainer. Built-in eye level Blomberg double electric oven/grill and Blomberg halogen ceramic hob. Space and plumbing for a dishwasher. The utility room is immediately adjacent and is a very good size with further extensive storage, a stainless steel single sink and drainer, space and plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer. Personal door to the double garage. This whole area lends itself perfectly to being re-modelled to create a large kitchen/breakfast room subject to any necessary consents.
* On the first floor there are five excellent bedrooms, all with the benefit of built-in wardrobes. Three of the rooms are exceptionally spacious doubles and have excellent en-suite facilities; the principal room has a recently fitted luxury en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating. Three of the bedrooms have separate dressing areas with extensive built-in furniture. Most of the bedrooms enjoy far reaching townscape views towards Mount Ephraim and beyond.
The family bathroom is a very good size and arranged in two areas with twin wash basins set in a vanity unit with useful storage beneath, low level WC, bath and separate shower cubicle.
Outside
At the front double wrought iron gates lead to a large brick paved driveway with space for several vehicles. There is a second driveway off Birling Park Avenue again with double wrought iron gates which leads to the double garage with electric up and over door and an undercover car port.
The beautifully landscaped gardens are somewhat reminiscent of the Mediterranean and surround the house on three sides. At the front the gardens are extremely private and arranged as a series of different sunny and shady seating and relaxation areas interspersed with mature shrubs including specimen azaleas, a pieris Forest Flame and herbaceous flower beds. There is an attractive summer house, a brick-built BBQ and several pergolas clad with a variety of climbing plants including a magnificent mature wisteria. The rear garden enjoys a westerly aspect and has more extensive terracing including several decked seating areas and established shrubs and small trees including two palms, a rhododendron, and a hydrangea. A wisteria clad pergola provides shade if required. There is a useful large timber garden shed and a children's Wendy House. In all about 0.25 acres.
