Rarely available period home in a sought after location

Description

This outstanding Victorian semi-detached villa, occupying a prominent corner plot and dating from circa 1850, has been meticulously transformed by its current owner. The result is a home that balances thoughtful contemporary design with the enduring character and proportions of its period origins.

The principal reception room is positioned on the raised ground floor, enjoying an elevated outlook over Kit Crowley Gardens. Impressive floor-to-ceiling arched sash windows flood the space with natural light, while elegant proportions are complemented by refined wall panelling and a feature fireplace, creating a room of both warmth and presence.

To the rear, the kitchen and dining room has been beautifully conceived in a bespoke Shaker style, combining traditional craftsmanship with subtle detailing. A butler sink with antique brass fittings is paired with a central island that provides both workspace and informal seating, while there is ample room for a large dining table, ideal for entertaining. Tongue-and-groove panelling and decorative cornicing reinforce the home’s period aesthetic, while striking dark-framed French doors open onto a balcony, establishing a seamless connection with the garden. A guest WC completes this floor, finished in a bold and characterful design.

The lower ground floor remains fully integrated with the main house yet offers excellent versatility. It comprises a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and reception area with Crittall-style doors opening onto the garden, allowing for an abundance of natural light. This level also includes two bedrooms, a shower room and a separate utility room, making it well suited to a variety of uses including guest accommodation, workspace or independent living.

The principal bedroom suite occupies the upper floor, enjoying an outlook over the rear garden. Generous proportions, high ceilings and large sash windows enhance the sense of space, with a walk-in wardrobe and beautiful en suite bathroom fitted with classic, period-inspired fixtures. A further bedroom on this floor, positioned to the front, benefits from a leafy outlook and its own en suite, offering both comfort and privacy.

The top floor provides three additional bedrooms, all well proportioned and incorporating built-in storage. A family bathroom serves this level, completing a practical and well-balanced layout ideally suited to modern family living.

Overall, this is a beautifully considered home that successfully combines period elegance with contemporary functionality, set within a desirable and well-connected location.
