Description

Quendale is a fine example of Victorian architecture, dating from the middle of the 19th century and Listed Grade II of special architectural and historic importance. It is constructed of brick with part rendered elevations beneath a slate roof with modern side extension, and has a particularly attractive front façade incorporating a strong Regency influence with lovely large windows set within symmetrical gables either side of a central raised front door.

During the present owners’ tenure since 2013, Quendale has been carefully maintained and upgraded including significant roofing works and a new boiler in 2019, and the property now provides spacious, adaptable and beautifully proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors together with extensive full-height cellars, ideally suited to family living, with elegant formal reception rooms and a fantastic kitchen extension providing a wonderful everyday living space which opens to both the front and main gardens at the rear of the house.

The house has an abundance of character with large sash windows and window shutters, period fireplaces, high coved ceilings, parquet and hardwood floors, and a spectacular turned staircase with detailed balusters. These are all complemented by quality kitchen and bathroom fitments, and modern decoration throughout, finished tastefully and sensitive to the age, style and nature of the building.

Steps rise from the drive to the arched front door between leaded windows, into the reception hall, off which are two formal reception rooms both with ornate fireplaces with marble mantels, and each room overlooking the front of the property. Towards the rear of the house is a snug, utility with space for washer and dryer, and separate W.C., and also access to the cellar.

Beyond is the main day-to day living area, comprising a cosy sitting room overlooking the rear garden, again with fireplace, and wide arch opening into the kitchen extension, which has underfloor heating. This a fantastic space and has been carefully designed for family living in mind, with oak flooring and open aspects to the front and rear. In the centre of the room is the fitted kitchen, comprising a bespoke range of wall and floor units and central island incorporating cupboards and drawers beneath polished granite surfaces, integrated NEFF appliances to include microwave, oven and hob, dishwasher and tall fridge/freezer. The island has a breakfast bar with space for four chairs, and there is a sink with mixer and wide drainer.

At the front of the room there is plenty of space for a dining table and chairs, and French doors open to a slate effect flagged patio with trellis and walled surround facing west for evening sun. To the rear, large bifolds extend across the width of the room opening to an expansive stone flagged terrace providing a superb outdoor relaxing and entertaining space which links the inside of the house to the garden.

The full-height cellars are accessed vias stairs from the inner hall and offer extremely useful space for storage and also with games room accommodating a snooker table (included in sale). Within this room is the gas boiler. A further large cellar room completes the space.

The turned staircase with decorative balusters and handrail rises to the first floor, which comprises four bedrooms, all with fireplaces and fitted wardrobes or space for free standing furniture. There are three well appointed bath/shower rooms, all recently fitted and with ceramic tiled walls and floors. The staircase continues to the second floor where there are three additional double bedrooms, and store which would lend itself to conversion to a shower room to serve this floor. There is also access to the loft space.
