A magnificent, double-fronted, detached Edwardian house providing extensive accommodation approaching 2500 sqft, set in established private grounds of 0.21 acres with a detached studio, on Millington Road.

This fine and substantial Edwardian residence on Millington Road occupies a broad corner-plot position within this rarely available, privately owned road, in Newnham. The property is screened from the road by mature grounds, which include well-maintained, south-west facing gardens extending to 0.21 acres providing vehicular access to the rear and a detached home studio with shower room facilities.

This double-fronted, detached family home provides spacious accommodation with many interesting original features, arranged over two expansive floors, measuring 2445 sqft in total. The property requires sympathetic modernisation and offers excellent scope for expansion and alteration.

The spacious entrance hall with a grand staircase and solid wood parquet flooring opens to the main reception rooms including a dual aspect drawing room with access to and complete views of the formal gardens, an elegant dining room with an impressive fireplace and a large bay window and a study with a corner bookcase. The open plan kitchen/dining room was altered in the 1970s and provides a matching range of storage units and drawers, working surfaces, space for a range of appliances and a walk-in pantry. There is access to the garden from the dining area. A utility room and cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor is a large, light landing area with a feature bay window opening to five bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC. All bedrooms retain attractive period features including original fireplaces.

The gardens and grounds extend to about 0.21 acres and provide a high degree of privacy from mature trees set to the boundary line. There is an attractive brick-built outbuilding, which has been thoughtfully converted to provide a studio space and shower room.

Of particular unique note is that Millington Road is one of the last streets in the country to be lit by gas lights. It is believed that the first lights were fitted in 1889 with later additions in the 1920s and are lit to this day from dusk until dawn.
