Description
21 St Marys Road was built in circa 1906 and captures the essence of the Arts and Crafts movement which was prevalent at the time. The front elevation certainly turns heads on the road with a handsome and imposing façade including black and white Tudor styling offset with impressive stone mullion windows. Internally, the property offers charming Arts and Crafts features including decorative plasterwork to some ceilings, wood panelling in parts, and several feature fireplaces.
The accommodation is laid out over two floors and totals some 3,091 sq ft (287 sq m) including garaging and outbuildings. The house is entered via an arched front door leading into the panelled reception hall with black and white marble tiling to the floor. There is a guest cloakroom and WC beneath the stairs, and the three reception rooms radiate off the hall.
The living room is the largest of the three reception rooms and enjoys views of the garden via a wide bay window with decorative stained and leaded glass. The focal point of the room is a beautiful natural stone fireplace with coal effect gas fire. A further feature of the room is the delicately patterned plaster cornicing and ceiling rose, typical of the Arts and Crafts movement.
The sitting room (presently used as a music room) is also generously proportioned, having a stone mullion bay window to the front, exposed treated floor boards, feature fireplace with coal effect gas fire, decorative plasterwork to the ceiling.
The dining room also has a stone mullion bay window to the front as well as wood panelling to one wall making this an impressive and atmospheric space to entertain. Adjacent to the dining room is the breakfast room which leads through into the kitchen.
