The Crescent, Davenport, SK3

Open House Sat 24th Oct 11am - 1pm

A period home with a very stylish present.

Some houses have you mentally moving walls before you’ve taken your coat off. Here, you’re more likely to be choosing your favourite chair, planning dinner with friends and wondering how soon you could move in.

Behind its handsome red-brick exterior lies a home with an eye for detail. Beautiful bay windows, generous proportions and character fireplaces sit alongside elegant panelling, statement lighting and bathrooms that make an everyday routine feel a little more indulgent. There’s plenty of personality here and plenty of room for yours.

The approach sets the scene beautifully. A gravel driveway, mature greenery and that striking frontage give the house a lovely sense of arrival. Step through the entrance porch and into the hallway, and the warmth and style continue.

 

At the front, the lounge is made for settling in. Its broad bay window brings in the light, while the fireplace, decorative ceiling details and softly coloured walls create an inviting setting for everything from a quiet coffee to a film night. This is a room where “just five more minutes” could easily become the rest of the evening.

Further through, the dining and family room brings everyone together. Herringbone flooring adds warmth and texture, the side bay gives the room character, and there’s space for both a dining table and somewhere comfortable to sit. Sunday lunch, homework, birthday celebrations and the conversation that carries on long after the plates are cleared, this room can take them all in its stride.

The kitchen and breakfast room provides an equally sociable backdrop. Cream cabinetry, timber worktops and a substantial central island create a welcoming space, with pendant lighting and a striking splashback adding the finishing touches. There’s a range-style cooker for ambitious Sunday roasts, seating for whoever inevitably gathers around the island, and glazed doors opening outside when the weather plays along.

Even the downstairs cloakroom has been given its moment, with rich-toned panelling and a chequerboard floor bringing a little unexpected drama.

Upstairs, the accommodation unfolds across two floors. The principal bedroom is particularly inviting, combining a bay window, character fireplace and generous space for a restful retreat. A second spacious bedroom occupies the first floor, alongside a versatile fifth bedroom or dressing room - giving you the choice of extra sleeping space, a dedicated wardrobe room or somewhere to work.

The first-floor bathroom makes a persuasive case for putting your phone down and running a bath. A freestanding tub, bold marble-effect finishes and decorative panelling create a wonderfully indulgent setting.

On the second floor, two further bedrooms offer useful separation for older children, guests or anyone who appreciates a little space of their own. They’re served by a stylish shower room with twin basins and a generous shower enclosure, helping mornings run a little more smoothly.

Below the main accommodation, a substantial cellar level provides three separate rooms and valuable additional storage space.

 

Externally

The charm starts before you reach the front door. A handsome red-brick façade, mature greenery and a gravel driveway give 105 The Crescent a proper sense of arrival, with off-road parking keeping the practical side of life neatly covered. Those striking bay windows and architectural details make coming home feel rather good, too.

To the rear, the garden adds another dimension to family life. With doors opening directly from the kitchen, taking your morning coffee outdoors or letting a summer gathering spill outside feels wonderfully easy. Think leisurely weekend lunches, a little gardening between cups of tea and evenings when nobody is quite ready to go back indoors.
