Marlborough Road

 

The property retains many traditional and authentic features, including high ceilings, tall sash windows, shutters, exposed timber flooring, a slate flagstone floor, open fireplaces, moulded cornices, pictures rails and panelled doors, to name a few!

Set back from the road by a small front garden with a hedge for privacy, a pair of half-paned doors take you into a vestibule with a lovely, mosaic tiled floor. Moving through to the entrance hall, a graceful turned staircase is complemented by timber floors and panelled doors to each of the reception rooms. The drawing room is located to the front of the property and has a pair of tall sash windows benefitting from internal shutters. A stone fire surround with a log burner and granite hearth is the focal feature of the room. To the rear is the second reception room, again with an open fireplace and a recessed sash window with window seat and shutters. To the rear of the ground floor is a stunning 28ft long, open plan kitchen / dining / family room, with an orangery style conservatory extension, flooded with light, leading out to the garden. There is also a WC located under the stairs.

Ascending the beautiful, turned staircase from the reception hall, there is a fine galleried landing, naturally lit by a transom window and with a useful wall of built-in cupboards. The shower/wet room is mostly tiled and has a contemporary suite with a large walk-in shower and under-floor heating. There are four, light-filled bedrooms, with two large double bedrooms featuring original fireplaces and the bedroom to the rear enjoying splendid views out to the harbour. The fourth bedroom could be a single room or study.

From the main landing, there is access to an extensive loft approximately measuring 2.65m (8'8") in head height and 6.06m (19'11") in width, providing potential for conversion (subject to relevant consents). Prospective purchasers may wish to note other properties along this terrace have converted the loft to provide further accommodation.

The pretty walled garden at the rear is private and enjoys a sunny aspect, beautifully stocked borders, mature trees and shrubs. The exterior and interior spaces connect wonderfully for entertaining. A slate terrace with slate steps from the living accommodation continues to the side 'courtyard' where there is a handy store and door to the side porch into the kitchen. A timber gate to the rear offers pedestrian access to Norfolk Road.
