With its elegant character features, generous proportions and high standard of finish, this exceptional Victorian house built in 1896 offers a huge amount of positives. With accommodation over three floors, the spacious property is ideal for families with a choice of four reception rooms and four double bedrooms upstairs. The house has been subject to an extensive programme of renovations since 2020 and is presented to a high standard throughout; updates include the addition of an orangery, cellar and new bathroom; installing underfloor heating across much of the ground floor; improving ceilings and windows; and full cosmetic redecoration. The modern additions beautifully complement the original features while adding luxurious touches throughout. Outside, there is private parking and attractively landscaped gardens.

The house is elegantly appointed with premium features throughout: the kitchen is of particular note, with Italian granite countertops, dark wood cabinetry with complementary hardware and integrated Bosch appliances. It is open plan to a breakfast area and the attached orangery, which fills the space with natural light. The additional reception rooms are all an excellent size, including a magnificent sitting room with bay window, a formal dining room and a relaxed family room to the rear. Ancillary accommodation includes a laundry room, a cloakroom with WC and, on the lower ground floor, a home office. Upstairs, four good-size double bedrooms include a principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite shower room, plus a family bathroom and separate shower room. All the bathrooms were recently updated.

Outside

The generous plot makes the most of the corner position: an entrance on Vicarage Road opens via a set of electronically operated gates to a private gravel driveway for several cars, with a separate pedestrian entrance on St Andrew’s Road. The gardens are enclosed by mature, protected trees, with a lawned area on the north side and, to the southwest corner, a fabulous sun trap paved terrace which serves as a wonderful space for entertaining with a barbecue area and space for a hot tub. Extensive borders have been replanted with shrubs and herbs, and there is a detached garden studio with light and power that offers a variety of uses.
