Description

A Victorian bay-fronted semi-detached villa set within a conservation area in the sought-after University district. The house has been carefully updated, with a series of considered interventions that sit comfortably alongside its original fabric. Period features remain in place, including the addition of a number of fireplaces and generous proportions, while later additions introduce a more contemporary way of living. The plan is arranged around a sequence of reception spaces with the formal rooms centred on wood-burning stoves. To the rear, a large, open-plan kitchen, dining and living space forms the heart of the house. A central island and quartz work surfaces define the kitchen, while a window seat creates a quieter place to sit. Full-width bifold doors open directly onto the garden. The rear garden is enclosed by brick walls and structured with two oak pergolas, now softened by climbing vines. A 1,500-gallon underground tank collects rainwater for irrigation, reflecting a considered approach to sustainability. Five bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors. The principal bedroom opens onto a balcony with views across neighbouring gardens and the guest suite is served by an en suite bathroom. Four further bedrooms are accompanied by a family bathroom. To the front, a generous driveway provides off-street parking, alongside a single garage. The house is well placed for access to the town centre and mainline station, with the hospital and a range of well-regarded state and independent schools nearby. Palmer Park, local amenities and the A329(M) are all within easy reach.
