About
Welcome to Florence Road! A truly impressive four-bedroom semi-detached Victorian home dating back to the early 1900s, set in a sought-after road in Woolston.
Brimming with period charm and modern refinement, the property offers three bathrooms, three generous double bedrooms and a wonderfully sunny, south-facing rear garden.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious entrance hall featuring a charming porch and practical under-stairs storage.
At the heart of the home lies the stunning 18'9" kitchen-breakfast room, thoughtfully designed with elegant shaker-style cabinetry, a striking skylight and ample space for both cooking and dining.
The expansive 25ft lounge/diner is equally impressive, showcasing a fireplace and a large bay window that fills the space with natural light, creating an inviting yet refined setting for everyday living and entertaining.
The first floor offers a selection of well-proportioned bedrooms, including two comfortable doubles, one of which benefits from a stylish en-suite shower room.
Completing this level is a sleek and contemporary family bathroom, fitted with a modern three-piece suite and a modern vanity hand-wash basin.
Occupying the entire second floor is the exceptional 18'8" master suite, a luxurious retreat flooded with natural light from two skylight windows.
This impressive space features built-in wardrobes and a beautifully finished en-suite bathroom, complete with statement tiling, a walk-in shower and an elegant roll-top bath.
Outside, the landscaped rear garden has been designed with entertaining in mind.
A spacious patio area provides the perfect spot for al fresco dining and relaxed evenings with friends, while the generous lawn, mature shrub borders, shed and side pedestrian access add both practicality and charm.
To the front, a block-paved driveway offers off-road parking for multiple vehicles.
