Architecture should speak of it's time and place, but yearn for timelessness.' - Frank Gehry

Step inside a piece of the city's rich history with this breath-taking Grade II Listed six-bedroom detached residence. Brimming with character, grand proportions, and elegant period features - this is more than just a home.

Denise White Estate Agents Comments - Tucked away within the prestigious and sought-after estate of *The Villas*, this remarkable Italianate-style detached residence is a rare gem that effortlessly combines rich historical character with generous, elegant living spaces. With its captivating architectural details and storied past, this exceptional home spans three floors and offers both grandeur and versatility.

From the moment you step inside, the spacious entrance hall sets the tone, leading to two impressive reception rooms at the front of the home. These rooms showcase stunning stone mullioned arched bay windows, intricate cornicing, and period fireplaces — all hallmarks of the property’s refined heritage. The large, neutrally decorated kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with shaker-style cabinetry, a breakfast bar island, and ample space for informal dining. A useful study, second entrance hall, downstairs bathroom, and utility room complete the generous ground floor layout.

A beautiful galleried landing greets you on the first floor, where you’ll find three well-proportioned double bedrooms, two with their own en-suite shower rooms, and a charming fourth single room — ideal as a dressing room, nursery, or home office. A stylish shower room services this level. Ascend to the second floor and discover two further elegant double bedrooms, each with their own period charm including ornate fireplaces and detailed cornicing.

Large sash windows throughout the home invite an abundance of natural light while perfectly framing picturesque views of the grounds and surroundings — a subtle nod to the property’s serene yet central location.

Externally, the home is surrounded by a generous wraparound lawn with a paved patio area at the rear. A raised second tier of garden offers excellent scope for further landscaping or bespoke garden design, enhancing the outdoor space.

Rich in charm and architectural beauty, this home is not only a stunning residence but also a treasured piece of the city’s heritage. Offering substantial and versatile accommodation, this is a rare opportunity to own a slice of local history in one of the area’s most exclusive enclaves.
