House For Sale £650,000
Tucked away behind the Victorian homes of Medina and Osborne Villas, Medina Place is a peaceful, terraced road just moments from the beach. This beautiful house was built in 2000, yet it has been sympathetically designed to sit in keeping with its older neighbours. In more recent years, the interior has been completely renovated using a refined Farrow & Ball palette and only the finest fixtures and fittings, so it is ready for the modern lifestyle. With three bedrooms, a generous reception room and a pretty courtyard garden, it offers plenty of space for families and professionals alike who will find the excellent school catchment and transport links ideal. Being just a minute's walk from the cosmopolitan shops, cafes and restaurants of Church Road, this property would also be a fantastic investment which will appeal to many.
Style: Terraced house (2000)
Type: 3 bedrooms (2 double, 1 large single), living/dining room, kitchen, bathroom + WC
Location: Cliftonville Conservation Area
Floor Area: 861 sq ft
Outside: South-East facing courtyard garden
Parking: Parking Zone N
Why you'll like it:
Immaculate both inside and out, this unique home has been beautifully renovated by the current owners who have a clear eye for colour and interior design. It is unusual to find a house of this size in this area which is well known for its large Regency townhouses and conversion apartments.
The exterior bears many features expected from a period home which can also be found inside. Picture rails, architraves and skirting boards add character to the elegant interior where much of the woodwork has been picked out in Farrow & Ball's refined hues. From the moment you step foot through the door it feels homely with engineered oak flooring running along the hallway where there are hooks for coats and deep cupboards for storage. The separate WC has not been missed during the expert styling of this house with a vintage hand basin and brushed gold fittings. From the hall, a door opens to the kitchen which is also accessible from the dining area of the living room, so the ground floor has a lovely sense of flow.
Hand built from tulip-wood in a Shaker style, the kitchen offers both form and function within the house. Charcoal cabinetry has been paired with marbled quartz worktops and splashbacks, while the fridge freezer, oven, induction hob and dishwasher have been integrated, leaving space within a cupboard for a freestanding washing machine. There is space for a kitchen table below a pendant light and there are further larder cupboards for dry goods alongside open shelving for glassware and crockery.
Moving through to the living room, engineered oak flooring complements white walls and glazed doors and windows frame glorious views of the garden. There is ample space inside for relaxed seating and formal dining, yet the garden becomes a wonderful extension of the home during the warmer months. It is incredibly private out here with tall walls and climbing green plants, so you are not overlooked despite living so centrally, and the neighbouring olive, bay and palm trees provide additional screening and evergreen colour.
Returning inside to the first floor, there are three bedrooms – two of which are charming double rooms, while the third is being used as a home office. It would easily house a single bed and freestanding furnishings, however, and it has a tall built-in wardrobe to maximise the floor space further. Bedrooms one and two also have generous built-in wardrobes without compromising on space, and the decoration in all three is restful using soft tones and fine quality fittings and all three bedrooms share use of the family bathroom on this floor.
Using a modern take on a period style, the bathroom has metro-brick wall tiles in white with encaustic tiles on the floor, and the sanitaryware is traditionally styled. There is a shower over the bath, a timber cabinet for toiletries and a tall heated rail for towels.
While some light fittings, window dressings and appliances may stay, many will be negotiable with the sale and can be discussed at the time of purchase.
Agent's thoughts:
Immediately impressive, stylish and deceptively spacious, this is a beautiful house. To find a freehold property of this size in this area is relatively rare, so we do not expect it to sit on the market for long.
Owner's secret
"We bought the house in 2015 and have enjoyed renovating it to make it our own. It is really quiet here for somewhere so central, and the location cannot be beaten. You can walk everywhere and having the beach on your doorstep never tires. There's a wonderful array or restaurants, cafes and wine bars on Church Road and you have every amenity you could wish for nearby. We are moving out of the city for work, but we will certainly miss it here."
