Welcome To Lime Avenue, a stunning family home, with a generous plot, situated in one of the most desirable roads in Sholing!

Originally built in the 1930s, this home has been transformed by the current owners into a stylish and versatile family residence, combining timeless character with modern refinements. Every aspect of the property has been thoughtfully upgraded – from the refitted kitchen and bathrooms to the redesigned conservatory, now a fantastic reception room – making it a turnkey opportunity for those seeking comfort, space, and quality. With generous driveway parking, garage, landscaped gardens, and even a heated swimming pool with jacuzzi, this home offers the perfect blend of lifestyle and practicality.

The Interior

From the moment you step inside, the property exudes quality. The welcoming entrance hallway retains its original charm while providing excellent storage and a practical layout leading to all principal rooms. The master bedroom suite sits conveniently on the ground floor and has been beautifully refitted, complete with bay window and fitted wardrobes. Its luxury en-suite shower room has been finished with high-gloss tiles and features a walk-in shower with rain shower head, low-level WC, vanity unit with inset wash basin, and a backlit mirror.

A further ground-floor double bedroom enjoys a bay window to the front, while the family bathroom has been completely remodelled into a sophisticated four-piece suite, showcasing both a double walk-in shower and separate bathtub, enhanced with the same high-quality tiling as the en-suite.

The lounge is a generous and inviting reception room, the hub of the family home. From here, the space flows seamlessly into the conservatory, which has been fully reconstructed from the brick course upwards. Now boasting an insulated roof with skylight, it provides a year-round living and dining area, with double doors opening to both sides of the garden.

The downstairs living accommodation is rounded off with a beautiful kitchen, designed with both function and style in mind, it features bespoke cabinetry, double eye-level oven with warming drawer, five-ring hob with extractor, integrated dishwasher, double sink drainer, and views across the rear garden.

The first floor offers two further double bedrooms, both with fitted storage and dormer windows, alongside a spacious square landing that naturally lends itself to a study or reading area.

The Garden & Frontage

Due to the nature of the plot, the property offers two driveways. To the left-hand side, the driveway fans out and offers off-road parking in front of the garage, this would make an ideal space for a motorhome or caravan. To the right-hand side is another block-paved driveway providing more off-road parking and steps leading to the front entrance. The garage is a fantastic addition with power and lighting. Practicality is further enhanced by the utility outhouse, which houses the boiler along with plumbing and space for a washer and dryer.

To the rear, the garden provides a wonderful private retreat, carefully landscaped with lawns, planting, and multiple seating terraces. A highlight of the garden is the heated swimming pool with jacuzzi, this is surprisingly cheap to run and is complemented by decked surrounds and an outdoor dining area, making this an excellent home for entertaining and family living alike. There is a secure area which could be an ideal kennel area for dogs. There is also a shed to the rear which is ideal for garden storage. The garden has to be viewed and enjoyed to be appreciated.
