4 bedroom detached house for sale

Tenure: Freehold

The Property:

Originally constructed by the Jarvis family on land purchased from the Ivy Estate in 1933 is this most impressive detached property built in the style of a Tudor country house, set in an exclusive and highly sought after central cul-de-sac.

Description:

The property boasts architectural detailing reminiscent of past times. The front facade has barge boarding with beams believed to be sourced from a Tudor ship. There are leaded casement and eye-lid windows which complement the intricate brickwork and fusion of styles throughout the building's structure. Internally there are many features more typical of the "Arts & Crafts" movement with ornate carpentry and hammered iron window handles and door hinges. The accommodation is currently arranged over two levels with all rooms being well proportioned. There is tremendous potential should extra space be required as there is a large roof void and superb width to the plot. Any comments regarding extension potential are obviously subject to relevant planning permissions and regulations.
A surprising feature of this house given the central location is the size of the plot. The garden provides a tranquil environment surrounded and screened with mature planting. Our clients have continued the heritage of the site by introducing a magnificent and productive Mulberry tree to the rear garden. With this house having only entered the market once before in the last 77 years, we believe it to be a superb opportunity for a buyer who will appreciate the individual nature of this home and the exclusivity of the address.

Location:

In January 1608 James I was anxious to further the silk industry by introducing the culture of the silk worm into Britain and the cultivation of Mulberry Trees was essential for this purpose. St Peters Close is located on what is understood to have been one such orchard, once owned by Lord Verulam. There is an ancient Mulberry Tree in the front garden which reinforces the interesting historical importance of the area. St Peters Close consists of only 9 other detached houses set in the centre of the city overlooking the picturesque St Peters Church. A superb address for buyers wanting a quiet yet convenient setting or purchasers who commute via the mainline station.
