About
This fantastic Victorian townhouse, built in 1850, comes to the market for the first time in over 20 years and has been superbly maintained by the current owners.
The property has spacious and well-proportioned accommodation which is full of character features from fireplaces to sash windows and picture rails.
The front door opens into an open and welcoming entrance hall with doors into the sitting room and family/dining room.
The sitting room has a lovely, tall bay window and a feature fireplace with fitted gas fire.
The family/dining room is a lovely room to relax in with views over the garden and a multi fuel-burning fire.
Double doors lead out to the garden seating area and there is a door through to the kitchen.
The kitchen is a long room with solid wooden work surfaces, fitted wall and base units and space for several appliances.
On the first floor there are three bedrooms, bedrooms one and two are large double rooms with fitted storage and bedroom three is a spacious single room.
There is also a shower room with a walk in shower, W.C and wash hand basin. On the second floor are two more bedrooms, both being generous double rooms.
There is also a large bathroom with a bath and separate shower. Externally, the property sits in a large level plot with gardens to the front and rear.
The front has a driveway for 2-3 vehicles and a lawned area with mature trees.
There is also a door to the side leading through to a sheltered storage area and the rear garden, meaning garden materials don't need to be taken through the house.
The walled rear garden has a lovely seating area accessed by the family/dining room. There is also a lawned area with a greenhouse, storage sheds, further seating area and a gardeners store.
Overall, this is a fine and rare opportunity to acquire a superbly presented family home, close to the city centre and university. Viewing is highly recommended by the sole agent.
