Herbert Street, Old Town, HP2

A deceptively large, attractive and rarely available 3-bedroom Victorian family home located on a sought-after road in the historic Old Town. This property spans three floors and blends modern living with period charm, retaining a wealth of original features. NO UPPER CHAIN

The ground floor layout includes a living room that features a bay sash window, an original cast iron open fireplace (with a matching mantle, decorative tiled cheeks and a tiled hearth) and stripped and varnished pine flooring. Adjacent is the formal dining room, which is similarly styled with stripped pine flooring and offering an elegant space for family dinners or entertaining. The property enjoys double glazing throughout, except here, where the original sash has been kept as a feature. The welcoming entrance hall connects all areas of the home, providing access to the first floor, lower ground floor, a convenient guest cloakroom, and a raised outdoor terrace seating area, which overlooks the rear garden. Steps lead down from the terrace to a peaceful, well-maintained south-facing garden.

On the lower ground floor, you'll find a spacious kitchen breakfast room, which opens onto a sunken patio seating area that is perfect for outdoor dining. The kitchen is fitted with shaker-style wall-and-floor-mounted units, Corian work surfaces, a dual-fuel Rangemaster cooker with an extractor hood, a large pantry, and tiled flooring. To the rear, the property also benefits from a practical and private home office with underfloor heating. The space is perfect for remote work or creative pursuits and is accessed via the lower ground patio. The landscaped garden includes a sunken patio area and a neatly maintained lawn with variegated and mature herbaceous borders and gated rear access.

The first floor comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The primary bedroom has a bay sash window offering far-reaching rooftop views and a feature cast iron fireplace with tiled cheeks. The modern bathroom suite comprises of a panelled bath with a rainfall shower overhead, a handheld shower attachment and a fitted shower screen; a pedestal wash hand basin; a low-level WC; and a chrome heated towel rail.

Viewing is highly recommended.

The nearby Old Town High Street has been described as the prettiest road in the country, with Victorian architecture, beautiful St Mary's Church, the Town Hall, cobbled streets, restaurants, public houses, and boutique shops.
