Why you’ll like it:
Tucked away between the chic shops, cinema and cafés of Preston Circus, the leafy acreage of Preston Park and London Road Station this secret enclave of pretty painted terraces is a sought after destination by people of all ages - and with a friendly community and organic farmers market nearby every Saturday it is easy to see why its appeal continues to grow. Outside, this Victorian beauty has irresistible charm, and inside delivers the best of all worlds blending elegant period proportions with chic vintage style and discreet contemporary tweaks which includes double glazing in the majority of its windows.
Inside, the hallway has original plasterwork high overhead, whilst the vibrant colour and modernist bannisters on the broad staircase introduce you to the fashionable 60’s/70’s feel-good theme of the interior decoration. Ahead, two ground floor rooms have been opened up to create a sunlit haven to enjoy with friends and family, complete with German designer ‘Tapete Hyperion’ wallpaper from Sven Rohleder. Inviting in all seasons with its broad bay almost filling the front wall and French doors at the back framing leafy views along a broad side return to the patio beyond, guests can relax by a fireplace or dine enjoying the garden at any time of year.
Stylish and sociable, the kitchen is lined with windows and has a door to the garden, ideal for an alfresco lifestyle. A 20th century classic with wood units and practical, marbled surfaces it is user friendly with a fabulous WhiteWestingHouse hob (4 gas rings, 2 electric) beneath a lit hood and both a grill/combi oven and fan oven for catering for larger numbers.
Plumbing is in place for a dishwasher, there is space for an under counter freezer as well as for a tall fridge and at the far end, a separate boiler/utility room with access to the garden could free up more space if you wanted an eat in kitchen without extending into the side return (STC…)
Outside, the walled garden is an oasis of calm in the heart of the city which is also child and pet secure, and paved for ease of maintenance, it has space for a table and chairs – and it’s certainly a sun trap, as being open to the south you will have summer sunshine for most of the day.
Returning inside, upstairs the first of the generous double bedrooms is light and airy with extra floorspace into the eaves; ideal as a quiet reading area or for a gaming station. Ideal for guests, sharers or teenagers it is on the first landing, so the occupants can come and go without disturbing the main bedrooms - and the bonus is that it is next to a cloakroom.
On the first floor, the L shaped landing provides space for a cupboard, a bright and cheerful bathroom with a vintage rose coloured suite and a contemporary shower room with an electric Mira shower. Next door, the principal bedroom, a comfortable double, is a relaxing retreat with ample floorspace for furniture, plus there is also large under stair storage.
Back on the landing, the second ‘cupboard’ door reveals a secret staircase to a private sanctuary with good head height and a Velux in the west roofline to bring in the night sky.
Agent says:
“This house offers the best of all worlds – it’s quiet but convenient for the city, in a good school catchment area close to Preston Park and the sea, and it’s ready to move into.”
Owner’s secret:
“The house has a unique position within the street with gardens to the back and the side, so we are open to the south and we can relax in peace and quiet. All the rooms are big and bright, and we love the mix of Victorian grace and vibrant vintage character.
Although we are looking forward to the next step, we shall be sad to leave the street as although it is very central and just 3 minutes’ walk from The Duke of York cinemas and restaurants and bars of Preston Circus, it is very tranquil here and has its own little community within the wider community.”
