Offered to the market for the first time in over two decades is this unique and charming, detached, double- fronted Edwardian villa.

This well-presented home seamlessly blends timeless elegance with modern convenience and affords the lucky new owner a rare chance to enjoy a lifestyle of luxury and refinement in one of the city's most sought-after districts. In addition, there has been approved planning permission for a single storey rear extension (Ref 21/00656/FUL) which has now lapsed.

Locally, you are well served for access to many excellent educational facilities, the city centre, the Central Railway station, the General Hospital, the University campus and the vast open space on offer at The Common. The traditionally laid out and well-proportioned accommodation on the ground floor comprises a spacious sitting room with a feature bay window, ornate fireplace, decorative coving and ceiling rose and stripped wooden floorboards. There is also a formal dining room with a second staircase to the first floor. The kitchen/breakfast room displays base units with solid oak work surfaces and a butler sink. A door provides access to the rear garden. A third reception room is currently used as a study/library/music room with a feature bay window and a pretty window seat, an open fireplace and stripped wooden floorboards. Furthermore, there is a conservatory which enjoys a pleasant view across the rear garden and a convenient guest cloakroom.

Upstairs, the first floor landing provides access to three of the four generously sized bedrooms and the family bathroom. The bedrooms include ample built-in storage and all display characterful and detailed original style features. The second staircase gives access to bedrooms three and four.

Outside there is driveway parking and a car port to the side with pedestrian access to the beautifully kept and generously sized rear garden, which offers a high degree of privacy and provides a wonderful place to enjoy the summer sun, whilst providing a superb space for children to play safely in and the ideal setting for summertime BBQ’s and entertaining family and friends.
