DESCRIPTION

This double fronted semi-detached property is of grey brick façade with intricate brickwork to the side elevation and a slate roof to the front elevation. Archetypical of Victorian properties, 30 West Parade features classic internal proportions, original fireplaces and decorative elements which include original oak panelling, shutters, picture rails, elaborate corbels, arches, cornicing and ceiling roses.

Over recent years, the property has benefitted from extensive re-modelling with high specification finishes and incredible attention to detail throughout. The rooms are elegantly proportioned with good ceiling heights. The large sash windows enhance the feeling of space and provide an abundance of natural light. The property has been decorated throughout with heritage colours by Little Greene, Fenwick & Tilbrook, Zoffany, Paint and Paper Library and Farrow and Ball.

This is a fabulous example of a property of this age coupled with modern additions. The property presently offers 3 large reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a 2-bedroom basement.

A glazed and panelled front door with stained glass fan light over opens into a long and wide entrance hall (34’3 x 6’11) with wooden flooring and an archway leading to the lovely wide staircase, which adds an elegant touch. There is a built-in cupboard for storage of outdoor wear.

To the right of the entrance hall is a large reception room (17’0 x 13’0) with a decorative door, ornately detailed ceiling, ceiling rose and frieze, deep skirting boards, shallow bay window and fireplace (not used) with fitted shelving either side. A set of wooden double doors opens into an adjoining light storage space (15’7 x 4’3) with wooden flooring.

The reception room (17’0 x 14’1) to the left of the entrance hall again features a detailed ceiling, frieze and ceiling rose, deep skirting boards, wooden flooring, original granite fireplace with built-in shelving either side, wall lights. There is a tall sash window complete with original solid shutters operated via a cord and pulley system.

The main reception room (21’8 x 18’4) with lovely proportions features a large bay flanked by intricately carved oak pillars and panelling, with original sash windows and functional oak shutters. There is an arched alcove, picture rail, frieze and cornicing, wooden flooring, cast iron radiators and a large fireplace with a wood burning stove.

To the rear of the property is the kitchen breakfast room (22’7 x 17’7), comprising fitted in-frame painted wooden cabinets and drawers, with deep oak worktops, built-in Brita water filter under the 2.5 bowl sink with Brita filter tap. There is an integrated Neff dishwasher and a Leisure range cooker. The flooring is Amtico LVT, and windows and door are timber and double glazed. There is a practical walk-in pantry with fitted shelving and space for a large fridge-freezer and other appliances.

A WC with butler sink and built-in storage cupboards completes the ground floor accommodation in the main house.

On the first landing there is an airing cupboard with a pressurised water tank and shelving and a bedroom (10’3 x 9’0) with an original cast iron fireplace, built-in cupboard and lovely views to the rear of the property.

The bathroom was installed in 2018 and comprises a walk-in Aqualisa digital shower, wash hand basin with Lefroy Brooks mixer taps, large Bette steel bath with Lefroy Brooks mixer taps and shower attachment over, mirror with hand activated LED lights, bathroom fan on timer switch, and a heated towel rail that is dual fuel so can be used year-round.

From this landing there are a few steps up to the main landing off which there are four well-proportioned bedrooms. Bedroom 1 (17’3 x 13’5) enjoys a dual aspect to the front and side of the property and features fine cornicing, picture rail, wooden flooring, a cast iron fireplace and contemporary slatted shutters (New England Shutter Co). Bedroom 2 (17’4 x 14’4) overlooks the front of the property, again with cornicing, picture rail and shutters. It also offers built-in storage with shelving and space for a tumble dryer. Bedroom 3 (18’0 x 12’10) features a cast iron fireplace, a built-in cupboard and storage space, cornicing, picture rail and shutters. Bedroom 4 (13’8 x 13’4) sits to the rear of the property, again with detailed cornicing, picture rail and shutters and enjoys south and west facing views.

The shower room comprises a Majestic double shower enclosure with Perrin & Rowe shower fitments, Lefroy Brooks wash hand basin with chrome stand and Perrin & Rowe taps. The fan is again on a timer switch and the heated towel rail is dual fuel. There is a fitted mirror cabinet and wall lights.

What was formerly a WC is now a laundry room with plumbing in place for a washing machine.

BASEMENT

The basement is self-contained, accessible from the garden and provides opportunities for multi-generational living, home working or rental income. Electrics, plumbing and a boiler are all in place; to be fully independent it would require installation of a kitchen. There are two spacious bedrooms with built-in storage and there is a bathroom with wash hand basin, bath with shower over, WC and a heated towel rail. There is further storage provision in the hall with space for a washing machine and other appliances.
__________

OUTSIDE

There are several places to sit and enjoy the garden - a terrace just off the kitchen, a large west facing terrace in the main garden and an additional raised south facing sheltered courtyard. There is a large shed with power and light, and a separate bike shed to the side.
