Paultow Avenue, Victoria Park

"Turning into Paultow Avenue on a spring or summer evening is a feeling like no other, the street alive with children's chalk drawings, neighbours catching up, and a real sense of community. Step through the front door and you're welcomed by a tranquil, quiet home with the evening sun streaming through the rear windows."

The Home

A substantial four/five-bedroom double bay-fronted Victorian terraced home, significantly improved in recent years both decoratively and structurally. The property retains an abundance of period character throughout, whilst offering the space, finish, and practicality for modern family life.

A tiled porch leads into a welcoming hallway, immediately setting the tone for the character and quality found throughout. To the right, the living and dining room has been opened up to create a spacious and light-filled reception, with natural light flowing from both ends of the house. The attractive bay window, original wooden flooring, and two fireplaces, including a fully working open fire in the sitting room and an original fireplace in the dining room, all contribute to a rich sense of Victorian charm. Fitted shutters to the bay window provide privacy without compromising light, and the Farrow & Ball palette ties the space together with a refined and considered finish. Through the dining room, the kitchen offers a practical and well-proportioned space with wooden worktops, providing a natural and characterful contrast to the decorative scheme.

The first floor is well laid out, comprising two double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and a family bathroom. The front double bedroom is generously sized, benefitting from a bay window with fitted shutters, mirroring the elegance of the ground floor. Original fireplaces feature in two of the bedrooms, adding further period detail.

The standout transformation is the L-shaped dormer extension to the second floor, a superb addition completed by the reputable Jon Pritchard Ltd to an exceptionally high standard. The principal bedroom is an impressive space, offering dual aspect views, generous ceiling height, a built-in wardrobe, and its own ensuite. A further bedroom, equally well suited as a home office and fitted with Cat6 Ethernet cable, also sits on this level. On this level incorporated eaves storage makes excellent use of the space, whilst the staircase configuration has been thoughtfully designed to ensure nothing on the first floor below has been compromised. Over-spec, south-facing windows flood the floor with natural light, and with the roof replaced in 2025, any prospective buyer can move forward with complete peace of mind.

The Garden

Accessed directly from the kitchen, the rear garden offers a low-maintenance outdoor space laid with stone and astro. The glazed brickwork to the rear elevation is a quirky and characterful feature, adding a further nod to the property's Victorian heritage and making the space feel genuinely unique.
