A distinguished Grade II listed Victorian detached house arranged over three floors, freshly renovated to a high standard and offering substantial family accommodation. The home totals about 4,036 sq ft with large reception rooms, five principal bedrooms (six described in original particulars) and generous circulation space—ideal for families who value period character alongside modern engineering.
High-spec finishes include bespoke joinery, a handmade kitchen with Quartz countertops, Karndean and restored parquet floors, underfloor heating to the first floor, multi-fuel stove, CCTV, alarm and smart Hive controls. The plot is private with lawned gardens to three sides, gated driveway parking, a double garage and EV/Tesla charging provision.
There is practical potential to increase living space by converting the basement (subject to planning and listed-building consent). Buyers should note listed status will restrict alterations and likely increase refurbishment costs and consenting timescales. The property sits in an area with higher local crime and an expensive council tax band—factors to weigh against the house’s generous space and finish level.
This house suits an established family seeking plentiful room, strong local schools nearby, and a private plot with character features. It will also interest buyers who value a period home restored with contemporary systems but who accept the extra time, cost and consent requirements that come with a listed property.
