Description
A Grand Victorian Villa with Exceptional Potential in a Prime Location
Presenting an exceptional opportunity to acquire an imposing and feature-rich Victorian detached villa, currently arranged as two apartments, but brimming with potential to be transformed into a truly spectacular family residence. Located in one of the most sought-after areas of town, this rare gem offers the ideal balance of period charm and future potential.
Ground Floor Apartment:
The ground floor is accessed via the original front door, leading into a spacious and welcoming entrance hall. This level boasts two exquisite reception rooms, each enhanced by grand bay windows, high cornice ceilings, ornate moulded architraves, and deep skirtings, all hallmarks of Victorian elegance. The first reception room provides a light-filled, versatile space, while the second serves as a generous kitchen/breakfast room, ideal for modern living with a sense of traditional grandeur. The original staircase ascends to a double bedroom, where the apartments are currently divided by a partition wall.
A lower flight of stairs leads to a second bedroom and the bathroom for this apartment. Additionally, the cellar is accessed here, providing ample storage space and housing the recently renewed consumer unit for the entire property, ensuring peace of mind for future owners.
Upper Floors:
Accessed via an external wrought-iron staircase, the upper floors present further opportunities for transformation. A private entrance opens onto the first floor, where a spacious reception room awaits, perfect for conversion into a bedroom or a sophisticated dining room. A galley kitchen sits centrally, offering the potential to be reimagined as an ensuite or a modern kitchen. A bathroom and separate cloakroom complete this floor, providing convenience and ample scope for renovation.
Top Floor:
The top floor offers two further bedrooms spread across two levels, ideal for family living, along with an attic room that houses the boiler and offers additional storage or potential for conversion. A fire exit ensures both practicality and safety for those seeking a truly versatile living space.
External Features:
Externally, the property boasts a private driveway providing off-street parking, while the generous garden is a peaceful oasis with mature trees and lush lawns. The ample outdoor space offers considerable scope for expansion (subject to planning permission), perfect for those wishing to create their dream home in this prestigious location.
This substantial and rarely available property is positioned in one of the town's most desirable areas, with easy access to local amenities, excellent transport links, and renowned schools. We fully expect high levels of interest in this remarkable opportunity, offering you the chance to craft a stunning family home in an enviable setting.
