Property Overview

This imposing, extended Victorian property on Knightthorpe Road now boasts nearly 3,000 square feet of internal space and is set on a generous plot exceeding 0.2 acres. The original dwelling has been significantly modified, including a substantial extension, whilst retaining its charming original three-storey layout. The residence offers an impressive sense of space and airiness throughout, complemented by a truly remarkable garden.

Ground Floor Features

Upon entry, you are welcomed by a porch adorned with replica glazed tiles on both the walls and floor, a design motif that continues through to the entrance hall. Off the hall, there is a convenient shower room and a generously proportioned utility room which provides direct access to the expansive garage. The garage itself spans approximately 40 feet in length, making it an ideal space for car enthusiasts.

To the left of the hall lies the original Victorian section, featuring a lounge diner. The lounge diner has William Morris wallpaper to the height of the dado rail, complete with a period-style open fireplace with glazed tile inserts and practical double-glazed windows, including two side windows and a rear window in the dining section. From the rear lobby, one can access both the sitting room and kitchen.

Living Spaces

The sitting room has an Arts and Craft style fireplace with a gas fire. A side window, and double doors leading into the substantial conservatory, which overlooks the feature garden. The kitchen is well-appointed, offering a comprehensive range of storage units at both base and eye level, a built-in four-ring gas hob, gas double oven and grill. The rear of the kitchen features a dining area and double doors that open onto a patio, perfect for entertaining.

First Floor Accommodation

The main bedroom, situated above the utility room and garage, is beautifully illuminated with three large front elevation windows and boasts exposed timber flooring. Bedroom two, located towards the rear, also features exposed flooring and three windows plus an additional window with Victorian style leaded lights. The original master bedroom now serves as bedroom three, positioned above the lounge with additional front and side windows and high ceilings. Bedroom four enjoys a dual aspect behind bedroom three, while bedroom five is located at the very rear, offering views over the garden.

Between bedrooms three and four is a bathroom fitted with an electric Mira Sport shower over the bath.
