Kingsley Road, Greenbank

"This has been a happy family home with long summer afternoons spent in the garden enjoying the sun and listening to the birds."

The home

A well-proportioned and characterful Victorian terrace on Kingsley Road, Greenbank, offering generous family accommodation across three floors, including an impressive loft conversion. The handsome brick façade, with its original arched doorway, bay window and sage front door, makes a strong first impression from the street.

Entrance is through a central hallway, with warm-toned décor setting the tone for the home's characterful interior. To the front, the living room is a generous and inviting space, centred on an original fireplace with decorative surround, and picture rail. A large bay window draws in good natural light, and the room is well-proportioned enough to accommodate a comfortable sitting arrangement without compromise. To the rear of the ground floor, a separate dining room flows into the kitchen, creating a sociable everyday space. The dining room is bright and relaxed, with rear-facing light and direct access through to the kitchen. The kitchen itself is fitted with white cabinetry and a bold blue splashback, with integrated appliances and wood-effect flooring. The dining rooms opens directly to the rear garden.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom offers generous proportions with fitted storage, and a en-suite shower room with Saniflow toilet. The second bedroom is currently arranged as a home office, a smart use of a well-lit, well-sized room. The third bedroom is a smaller single, suited to a nursery or study. The family bathroom is a real highlight: a statement space finished in deep navy blue with marble-effect tiling, featuring both a full-size bath and a separate walk-in shower enclosure.
The loft conversion is a large, light-filled room with sloped ceilings, Velux skylights and original pine floorboards. The scale of the space makes it genuinely versatile: equally suited as a principal bedroom, teenager's retreat, creative studio or generous home workspace.

Outdoor space

The rear garden is a great asset, a long, established plot with a lawn, mature planting borders and a patio area immediately off the dining room. Fruit trees and flowering shrubs give it a secluded, well-loved feel, and the depth of the plot offers real scope for those who want to grow, entertain or simply unwind. The garage sits at the foot of the garden, benefitting from both rear lane access and access through the garden itself, a practical and flexible arrangement. There is electric to the garage and potential to be converted to a work from home office space or guest suite.
