St Cyrils Road, Stonehouse, GL10 2QG

Queens Leigh is an outstanding example of an Edwardian semi-detached home, believed to date back to circa 1910. Edwardian houses are well regarded for their light-filled interiors, elegant proportions and practical layout, and Queens Leigh is no exception. Sympathetically modernised in recent years, this handsome five-bedroom home now offers beautifully presented and highly flexible accommodation while retaining many original period features, including magnificent balustrades, decorative cornicing, dado rails and attractive original glasswork.

The property is approached via a wrought iron gate set within a mature box hedge, leading to a covered porch entrance where the original glass detailing provides an immediate sense of character. The front door opens into a large and welcoming entrance hall, where high ceilings, cornicing and traditional detailing set the tone for the rest of the house. The grand staircase rises to the first floor and sits adjacent to the principal reception room.

This elegant sitting room enjoys a beautiful bay window with wood panelling beneath, generous ceiling heights and a feature fireplace, creating a refined and comfortable space for everyday living. Further along the hallway is a second reception room, currently used as an additional sitting room but equally well suited as a formal dining room. A cloakroom with a white suite is positioned just before the house opens into the impressive rear extension, which forms the heart of this home.

This stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living space has been thoughtfully designed for modern family life and entertaining. Benefitting from underfloor heating, ceramic flooring and excellent natural light, the room offers a superb sense of space. The bespoke kitchen, designed by Visage, provides an excellent range of soft grey contemporary cupboards and drawers, complemented by beautifully maintained solid oak work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a double oven, gas hob with extractor above and washing machine, while the central island provides further storage and additional preparation space.

The kitchen flows through to an informal sitting area with a vaulted ceiling, subtly separated by a feature brickwork detail and two steps running the width of the room. Beyond this, there is ample space for a large dining table overlooking the rear garden. Wide bi-folding doors open directly outside, making this a fantastic entertaining space during the warmer months and allowing the garden to feel like a natural extension of the home.

The property retains two original staircases, both carpeted with traditional runners and rods that sit beautifully alongside the character and period feel of the house. A good-size landing provides access to the master bedroom which is a commanding room with a stunning box bay window, alongside bedrooms two and three, and the stylish family bathroom. The contemporary bathroom is fully tiled and fitted with a bath, a large separate shower and a heated towel rail. Stairs ascend to the second floor where you will two further generously proportioned double bedrooms and a large, unconverted attic room which is well insulated, has lighting, and is currently used for storage. The vendors have previously considered the potential to convert this area into a second bathroom or shower room, subject to any necessary consents, as it sits directly above the existing first-floor bathroom and offers suitable ceiling height.

Outside, the rear garden is laid mainly to lawn with mature borders and a seating area positioned towards the rear, next to a large garden store which benefits from its own power supply. To the side of the property, double gates open onto a gravelled parking area providing ample space for three vehicles.
