ELMCROFT

Coming to the market for the first time in over 40 years and originally constructed in 1925, Elmcroft stands as a fantastic example of first-class versatile living, set within approximately three quarters of an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens. The excellently appointed accommodation extends to approximately 6,900sq.ft in all, and is arranged across the main house, detached annexe, a range of outbuildings and garaging. Offering charm, space and a wealth of character features to the main house, the recently completed annexe brings a more modern addition which could lend itself to a variety of needs. The space both within this home and its surrounding grounds is rarely found so close to a city centre and its abundance of amenities, Elmcroft is undoubtedly an opportunity not to be missed.

THE MAIN HOUSE

Offering approximately 5,600sq.ft of accommodation arranged over two floors, the main house provides spacious family living with practical arrangement. Upon entering the property, you are immediately greeted by the substantial reception hall, an entertaining space within its own right. The majority of the principal ground floor accommodation leads off this hall which, in brief, comprises of; formal dining room with bay window overlooking the front garden, formal sitting room with French doors leading out on to the side terrace, breakfast kitchen with pantry, lounge with a purpose-built bar area, garden room/gym, study, utility room and cloaks with WC. A hidden gem within this home is the 29ft indoor heated swimming pool, and this sits in working order beneath a temporary floor that has created the garden room and lounge. With some minor works, the pool could easily be reinstated and complimented by the shower facilities, changing booths and sauna already in place.

THE MAIN HOUSE CONTINUED

To the first floor, a substantial landing provides access to the sleeping accommodation with 5 spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a separate WC to be found. Undoubtedly, one of the key highlights of this home is the traditional games room/ lounge which leads off the first-floor landing. A phenomenal space to retreat to or enjoy with the family with its bespoke fitted cabinetry, character features to walls and ceilings, space for a full-size snooker table and several lounging areas to enjoy.
