Set within the sought-after Grange conservation area, this substantial main-door garden flat occupies the entire lower level of a handsome Victorian house (circa 1875). With more than 3,000 sq ft of adaptable accommodation, the home combines generous period rooms, high ceilings and a sun-filled garden room that opens directly onto south-facing landscaped grounds — an ideal setting for family life and outdoor entertaining.
Accommodation is versatile: four double bedrooms, a large sitting room with original bay and fireplace, a kitchen/dining room with pantry, utility space and a recently added modern studio with its own entrance and shower room. The studio and an adjacent office/kitchen-ready space offer clear potential as a home office, creative studio or a self-contained guest suite. A double garage with power and gated driveway provide secure parking and storage.
Location is a key strength for families and professionals: excellent local schools, nearby university campuses, abundant green spaces (Blackford Hill, The Hermitage, The Meadows) and frequent bus links to the city centre. The property feels private and quiet while remaining well connected to shops, leisure facilities and major routes.
Notable considerations: this is a large, historic property that will carry ongoing maintenance responsibilities and may benefit from updating in places (mixed window styles, varied finishes). Council tax is very expensive. The wider statistical profile supplied indicates pockets of area deprivation despite the Grange’s generally high standing — buyers should satisfy themselves on local services and costs. Overall, the flat offers exceptional scale, privacy and flexibility for a buyer happy to maintain and personalise a significant period home.
