Northesk Street, Stone

Beautifully renovated Victorian town house of grand proportions. The former Padwicke House was one of the first properties to be built on Northesk Street which has been skilfully converted into two houses, of which number 14 is one. This is a truly lovely house which offers effortlessly spacious living accommodation with a wealth of original period features combined with great outside space making it a very practical proposition as a family home. The accommodation features a welcoming hallway with original Minton tile floor, two formal reception rooms, traditional style kitchen with space for casual dining and French doors opening onto a loggia style garden room. The bedroom accommodation is arranged over two floors featuring four double bedrooms, study, en-suite shower room to the main bedroom and two full bathrooms. Moving to the outside there is a large and remarkably private landscaped walled garden to the rear, combined with secure off road parking for two cars and a detached single garage. Fabulous - viewing essential.
