About
Set amidst substantial private garden grounds and enjoying a commanding elevated position within one of Kelvindale's most desirable residential addresses, this exceptional three-bedroom semi-detached villa offers a rare combination of traditional character, generous proportions and outstanding family living space.
The property is distinguished by its expansive south facing gardens extending to the front, side and rear, creating an impressive setting and affording a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion.
Internally, the accommodation is centred around a magnificent front-to-back lounge, a beautifully proportioned principal reception room flooded with natural light and providing an elegant space for both everyday family life and entertaining.
A particularly noteworthy feature is the substantial side extension, which has created an additional dining room or family living space of excellent proportions.
Seamlessly connected to both the lounge and the welcoming reception hallway, this versatile room significantly enhances the home's flexibility and lends itself perfectly to modern family living while retaining distinct and characterful spaces throughout.
The accommodation further comprises a modern fitted kitchen with direct access to the rear garden, three bedrooms on the upper level, including a superb bay-windowed principal bedroom enjoying attractive open aspects, and a well-appointed family bathroom.
Further enhancing the home's appeal is a fully floored loft space, complete with power and a Velux window.
