House For Sale £500,000
Elegantly appointed and presented to the highest of standards boasting over 2000 sq feet of accommodation, "Brighton Villa" is a fine example of Victorian architecture that can be found in the suburb of Stoneygate and combines modern living with an appreciation for character and charm.
From the moment you arrive, the restored and original Minton tiled entrance hall flooring, high architrave skirtings and timber sash bay windows really set the tone for the property. Bright, airy and a real sense of space is enjoyed throughout this home with the entrance hall providing dual access to all the downstairs living accommodation in the form of a bay-fronted living room, drawing room, downstairs w/c and a stylishly appointed open plan dining kitchen. The front reception room is presented in excellent condition with an open fireplace with a black-gloss stone hearth and understated stone mantel which is a real focal point of the room. High ceilings, a stunning ceiling rose and restored original flooring compliment the room whilst a double-glazed sash window to the front allows an abundance of natural light into the space on offer. A second reception room includes a marble fireplace with fossils embedded within the stone, an original ceiling rose, restored wooden flooring as well as French timber doors providing both convenient access and delightful views onto the well maintained and private courtyard garden. To the rear of the property, a bespoke Tippetts and Brooks designed dining kitchen becomes the heart of the home. Meticulously decorated, the kitchen includes a range of light shaker style wall and base units with granite work surfaces which are arranged in an open rectangular fashion by a striking timber breakfast bar enabling preservation of the original Victorian kitchen fireplace. Integrated appliances have been installed to include a Smeg range style cooker with a gas stove and Smeg extractor over, a Neff fridge freezer, a Bosch dishwasher, a Hotpoint washing machine and Franke sink with a drainer unit alongside a newly installed Ideal Logic Max Combi C30 boiler fitted in July 2021. A matching styled Tippetts and Brooks commissioned door leads out into the rear garden.
Ascend the stairs to find a spacious first-floor landing which provides access to three double bedrooms and a four-piece family bathroom. The bay-fronted master bedroom includes a refurbished sash window to the front aspect flooding the room with natural light alongside an original ceiling rose and additional space for free-standing bedroom furniture whilst bedroom two and three are both generous in size and presented in excellent condition throughout. The stylishly appointed and recently refurbished four-piece family bathroom has a freestanding roll-top bath, separate walk-in rain-head shower with metro brick tiling, wash hand basin and WC. Attentively extended to incorporate a loft conversion and utilising the use of velux skylight to brighten the space on offer, the second flight of stairs provide access to two further double bedrooms which like the other three are presented in outstanding condition throughout.
To the rear of the property, a North-East facing courtyard garden has undergone a comprehensive redesign to provide a contemporary outside space. The multi-level space offers a brick outhouse, a paved patio for outdoor furniture alongside shallow steps leading down to the lawn which is surrounded by attractive shrubbery installed within brick built flowerbeds. The garden features the original Victorian wall alongside an array of established trees creating privacy from surrounding properties. With excellent curb appeal, the front of the property benefits from off-road parking for two vehicles in the form of a block paved driveway complimented with a decorative wrought iron railing. Overall, a truly spectacular home in the heart of a thriving suburb. Early viewing comes with the agents highest recommendation.

Vendor comments:
" From the minute we stepped into our house "Brighton Villa" we knew it was something special. We love old properties as they have so much character and the house has it in abundance: From the little owl in the stonework door frame greeting you every time you enter, the amazing huge ceiling rose in the front lounge, the beautiful fireplace surrounds the open fires, the centuries-old handcrafted bannister which runs the entire length of the staircase, or the quirky steps down into the kitchen - its' history is plain to see - and we love them all. Although you are in the heart of the city, there is a definite "village feel" to the area, with its close proximity to a wealth of independent shops, cafes, bars or deli's and a definite community spirit abounds here. We have found we rarely use our car as so many places are within walking distance. The house is close to Clarendon Park and again a vibrant mix of independent retailers thrive. The location of the house is perfect for a walk into the city via the beautiful "New Walk", the train station is close with fantastic transport links, and many excellent local schools are in the immediate area. Since working from home, we have found the house large enough to facilitate this and the beautiful walled garden is delightfully quirky and very peaceful. During our time in the house we have carried out many sympathetic alterations in keeping with its history and we hope the new buyers will love and care for it as much as we have. "
