House For Sale £400,000
Originally constructed in 1867, this unique and characterful stone-built Victorian semi-detached house was one of the first residential properties in the area at the time, within what is now the Benton Conservation Area. Modernised in the mid-20th century by a local architect, the home is a fascinating example of authentic mid-century design blended with period features.
With a predominantly solid wooden interior, in line with the interior trends of the 1960s and 1970s, it stands today as a 3-bedroom family home with full planning permission granted for a rear double storey extension with side extension, to add a fourth master bedroom suite and extend the kitchen and dining space to the rear and side of the property.
The property has many original features intact, beginning with the distinctive wooden porch at the front of the property that leads through into the main hallway. There is a unique hidden cloakroom with pivoting solid pine door, and a beautiful solid oak banister and staircase which is in near-perfect condition with shallow and wide steps which was a theme of the era. All original doors, with door furniture, remain and lead through into all the rooms of the house. Each window has an original sliding sash window, and the front reception room has a dual aspect with double windows to the front and one to the side. There is original coving and ceiling rose, with hand-built shelving and units around the fireplace. The living and dining reception room to the rear of the property has superb handmade solid maple veneer panelling, with a suspended ceiling and coving feature in the left alcove. There again is a built-in television unit and shelving, with a suede wall opposite and modern door into the kitchen.
The kitchen is partially panelled in pine and has a breakfasting space and fitted units with space for appliances, and there is a window seat with sash window overlooking the garden. The kitchen leads through to a utility and pantry, and there is a back door into the rear yard with raised concrete flagging, flower beds and a garage with up and over door. The garage is attached to a driveway, with a side gate into a concrete patio. Beautiful and mature gardens surround the property to the front and side which is laid to lawn with attractive trees, shrubs and plants. To the left of the entrance path is a flower and shrub bed with an array of colourful flowers, plants and shrubs.
Upstairs are three equally spacious double bedrooms, each retaining original features including doors, windows and skirting. There’s a fitted bathroom which has been panelled with pine and cork with an integrated cupboard, has a full-sized mirror, and a seat doubling up as a step into a retro orange bath. The front master bedroom has hand built sliding pine wardrobes, with a pine bed and headboard with sliding shelving and a window overlooking the front garden. The rear bedroom has a window overlooking the back of the house, as does the third bedroom. The landing benefits from two windows, allowing for plenty of natural light and views down Eastfield Terrace. The attic has been partially converted with a velux window and pull-down ladders and has plenty of storage in the eaves. There is a warm air heating system, although this will require replacement, and to the rear of the property is a paved yard, with gate to the back lane. Viewings are recommended, to appreciate a property of such charm and historic significance with many original features dating back over 150 years.
