DESCRIPTION

Communal Entrance Vestibule

The ground level of the property is accessed via a well maintained communal entrance with original Victorian tiled flooring.

Entrance hallway

A partially glazed front door opens into a long entrance hallway with a beautiful original Victorian tiled floor and provides access throughout this level.

Drawing Room

An especially large and impressive drawing room with expansive bay window complete with working shutters and front facing views. Stunning original plasterwork ceiling with ornate and detailed cornice, tiled open fireplace with mantel and mirrored recess, flanked by two deep cupboards with shelving.

Principle Bedroom

Principal bedroom with double doors; hidden deep storage cupboard; original fireplace (not in use) and mantel; ornate cornice work and peaceful rear garden views from expansive double sash and case windows complete with working shutters.

Bathroom

Split level staircase leads upwards to a family bathroom with bathtub and separate shower cubicle; built in drawers and garden views. Adjacent to the bathroom sits a cupboard housing the water tanks.

Double bedroom Five

Staircase leads down to a mid-level providing access to a double bedroom with built-in double bed and peaceful garden views. The stairs continue down to the garden level.

Double Bedroom Two with ensuite Bathroom

To the front of the property, this is a spacious and light double bedroom with large windows overlooking the basement but with no feeling of confinement. There are fitted wardrobes with hanging space and shelving as well as an open Edinburgh press. It has its own ensuite bathroom with bath and shower attachment, cream heated towel rail, white sanitary ware and tiled floor. This is an internal bathroom with extractor fan.

Bedrooms Three & Four

Bedrooms three and four are situated at the front of the flat. Bedroom three is a double bedroom with a walk through fourth bedroom under the main outdoor steps having two large double windows illuminating both rooms. Bedroom four has an attractive original fireplace.

Both rooms are newly carpeted with neutral décor.

Sitting Room

Great proportioned southwest facing sitting room overlooking garden. This is a really lovely light room with attractive period fireplace and traditional black wood burning stove on black hearth. Edinburgh presses and original astragal windows and fully glazed door leading to study/garden room.  Newly Carpeted and neutral décor.

Study/Garden Room

Off the sitting room and leading to the garden so that you feel you are almost in it is a wonderful addition to the house. With its large ceiling glass panels / roof lights and glass door into the garden this would be a wonderful place to work or just to sit. Timber floors give it a clean feel. Exposed brickwork adds character.

Kitchen/Diner

To the rear of the property is the kitchen/dining room. A solid timber floored corridor leads into the kitchen. A prospective owner may wish to modernise this space, but it is an adequately endowed kitchen with both Raeburn Cooker and a separate gas hob on the peninsula island. There is a combination of under counter and wall mounted white cupboards. The counter tops are an off white speckled colour. The dining area provides ample seating for six to eight persons.

Off the kitchen is a useful utility room, also with an integrated stainless double steel sink and cupboards plus housing a washing machine. There is a window over the back garden as well as a roof light. A cupboard from the utility room houses the boiler with ample space for storage.

Bathroom and separate WC

At the very rear of the flat is another good sized light bathroom with bath and shower attachment. All sanitary ware is white. There are two windows facing west.

WC

Adjacent WC with window

Four Hall walk in Cupboards 

It’s not often that you would stipulate four cupboards as being huge assets to a house of this size but their number and size give this property clear potential to convert at least one of them into an ensuite or study. They are all close to the size of a decent box room and one contains the original wine bins, so although currently used for storage, would also be perfect for its original purpose.

OUTSIDE SPACE

Front basement area

The front basement area is paved and of generous size with two cellars both of which are lined and have electricity. A third cellar is accessed from one of the cellars provides further storage provision.

Rear Garden

The rear south facing established walled garden is really charming. Steps up from the back door lead to a paved patio, and from there a grassy slope leads up to a curved border with flowering shrubs and established small trees. It’s a great size and enjoys sun most of the day.

Single Garage

Single garage situated at the bottom of the garden with electric up and over door leading onto Belgrave Crescent Lane allowing space for one car. There is also a door from the garage providing access to the rear garden.
