A spacious Edwardian detached house offering about 2,500 sq ft of stylish, family-friendly accommodation just outside Queens Park. The house has been sympathetically remodelled and extended to retain period character—herringbone parquet, bay windows and fireplaces—while delivering contemporary living spaces including a large kitchen/breakfast room and bi-folding snug that opens to a sheltered courtyard.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors with five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a useful laundry/utility room. The principal suite features a generous en-suite with rainfall shower and free-standing bath; two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom sit on the first floor, with two attic-level bedrooms (one en-suite) and a potential home office on the second floor.
Externally the plot is a strong asset: a driveway for 2–3 cars and a landscaped rear garden stretching over 70ft with lawn, mature shrubs and fruit trees, arranged over two sunny tiers. The legal pack is ready and the sellers indicate a Christmas completion is achievable, which suits buyers seeking a quick move.
Important practical points: the property retains secondary glazing and cavity walls are assumed to lack full insulation, which may present an opportunity to improve thermal efficiency. Council tax is above average. Overall this is a rare combination of size, condition and period charm in a very affluent area close to excellent schools, local amenities and the beach.
