Description

44B Woodbury Park Road is a handsome, deceptively substantial period townhouse offering flexible, family-friendly accommodation which is arranged over four floors. The spacious and very stylishly presented interior is complemented by much character, with high ceilings, panelling, wooden floors, deep skirting boards, picture rails, sash windows, a number of feature fireplaces, decorative coving and tiling.

On entering the generous reception hall gives access to the three reception rooms on the ground floor. A more informal TV/room snug is to the front of the house, in addition to a very useful study, ideal for today's working from home needs. The study also gives access to a "hidden" boot room and store room. The formal sitting room is found to the rear of the house and is flooded with natural light from the three large windows providing the treetop vista.

The attractive staircase leads to the lower ground floor which is now home to the very inviting open-plan kitchen/diner/family room centred around a large island with striking quartz worktop and breakfast bar for more informal dining. There is plenty of preparation space and attractive base and wall cabinetry provide good storage with some integrated appliances and space for a large oven range and American style fridge freezer. This super room, which is the heart of the home, also allows for a large dining table and a charming seating area around the fireplace. A glazed door provides the outlook over and opens straight onto the large raised deck and gardens beyond ideal for outdoor entertaining and dining.

From the kitchen, a short staircase leads to the recently refurbished utility room with more storage space and room for further appliances, leading to the newly and beautifully appointed shower room.

The principal bedroom on the first floor is of particular note, with an attractive fireplace, large bay window and a charming balustraded balcony from where the roof top views beyond the church spires of St James's and St Peter's Church can be enjoyed. There are two further bedrooms on this floor together with a separate wc and the well-appointed family bathroom. The second floor is home to two good-sized attic bedrooms.

Outside - A fully enclosed south-east facing garden lies to the rear of the property. The large, raised decked terrace is perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining, shaded by a mature acacia, a delightful wisteria also wraps around one corner of the deck, with mature shrubs and planting to the borders, providing interest and colour. Steps lead down to a generous area of lawn, ideal for child's play.

To the front of the property, there is driveway parking for two vehicles, with a pedestrian gate to the side offering outdoor storage/utility space and providing access to the rear of the house and to a useful cellar.
