Princes Avenue, Hull, HU5

We are delighted to bring to the market this stunning Victorian family home!

This gorgeous house retains many of its period features & its formality with generous rooms & high ceilings. This property is offering all of the charm of period living in a beautiful family residence but conveniently located close to Hulls cosmopolitan Princes Avenue.

Welcoming you to the property is the Victorian-style iron fencing flanking the path to the Porchway which retains the period wall tiling & original entrance door, all setting the theme for what you are about to experience throughout the building.

The generous Entrance Hallway retains the original Pitch Pine panelled doors which lead you to the formal sitting room, the dining room & the large entertaining kitchen diner. Look up & you are greeted by Victorian plasterwork corbels & a timber picture rail moulding. Original timber skirting & architrave still remain as does the Victorian staircase, all creating the period feel.

Into the large sitting room you are immediately drawn to the grandeur of the bay window which has been replaced with double glazed units to the original design, blending the efficiency of new double-glazed units with the elegance of the original Victorian style, a feature which floods the room with natural daylight. The dramatically high celling, bold fire surround and decorative tiled cast-iron insert lend themselves to either full Victorian décor renaissance or to a modern theme with a nod to the history of the house, as is the current style.

As you leave the Hallway into the dining room you are immediately drawn to the natural light which floods in through the full-height, double French doors into the garden. There is a feature fireplace which sits a-top a tiled hearth, the room proportions are generous and the ceiling height is circa 11ft, an 8 or even 10-seater dining table could be comfortably accommodated in this room.
