Forming part of a traditional Victorian tenement, this ground and garden level property is beautifully presented throughout and boasts wonderful period features and proportions. Situated on a residential street within an attractive conservation area in popular Hillside, this substantial home has a superb city centre location close to an unbeatable selection of amenities.
With a private maindoor set back from the street, the property has a charming entrance vestibule with original tiling. There is a beautifully presented living room which has high ceilings, cornicing, bay window with working shutters and fireplace with AGA wood burner. The stylish fitted kitchen/dining room with integrated appliances, solid oak worktops and a large pantry cupboard is situated at the rear of the property with a sunny east facing aspect. Two versatile double bedrooms are also positioned on the ground floor and are currently used as a study and playroom. The family bathroom is tastefully decorated with traditional style fittings paired with statement tiling.
Downstairs, there are two further generous double bedrooms available with the principal bedroom having the luxury of a walk-in-wardrobe as well as direct access to a lovely private decked, courtyard with exposed stone backdrop and lighting.
The box room, which is set up as a nursery at present, is extremely spacious and planning permission has been sought to add a window which would establish the space formally as a bedroom. Further details can be made available upon request. A modern, fully tiled shower room is also conveniently positioned downstairs.
From the lower hall, direct access is available to the well-kept shared garden at the rear of the building. Residents are also eligible to apply for membership to Regent Gardens for a modest annual fee. On-street parking is available by way of a residents parking permit and there are public EV charging points around the corner on Montgomery Street.
The property has gas central heating and double glazing throughout.
