Unthank Road

The ground floor opens into a welcoming lounge, where a large bay window allows an abundance of natural light to fill the room. Original period features such as picture rails, built-in alcove shelving, and a characterful open fireplace (currently capped) contribute to the home’s warm and inviting atmosphere.

An inner lobby leads through to the spacious dining room, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. This room benefits from a renovated sash window, an under-stairs storage cupboard, and retains further classic detailing in keeping with the age of the property.

The modern kitchen is well appointed with a range of wall and base units, a one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink, and ample space for a Range-style cooker, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer. From here, a door leads to a particularly useful shower room and utility area, fitted with a walk-in shower, WC, wash basin, and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer — a practical addition that enhances ground-floor functionality.

Upstairs, the property offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both continuing the home’s blend of period charm and comfort. The rear bedroom is a particularly appealing space, featuring a decorative cast-iron fireplace and direct access to a beautifully styled en-suite bathroom.

The en-suite is a standout feature, finished with a roll-top claw-foot bath, pedestal sink, WC, exposed brickwork, ornate plaster mouldings, and a traditional column radiator, creating a luxurious and character-rich bathroom setting.

The front-facing bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe and retains its original sash window, further reinforcing the property’s Victorian heritage while offering excellent natural light.

Externally, the property is set back from the road and approached via a gated pathway, with mature trees and hedging providing an attractive and private frontage.

The south-facing rear garden is a true highlight of the home. A paved patio area directly behind the house offers the perfect space for outdoor dining and entertaining, leading on to a well-maintained lawn bordered by mature shrubs and established planting. Toward the far end of the garden, a more secluded section provides a peaceful and private retreat — ideal for relaxation, gardening, or simply enjoying the sunshine throughout the day.
