Set within the Howard Park Conservation Area, this imposing Victorian residence occupies a very large, private plot and offers flexible accommodation across three floors — ideal for growing families who value period character and outdoor space. The house is well presented with many original features retained: high ceilings, decorative moldings, marble fireplaces and tall bay windows that give rooms generous proportions and natural light.
The ground floor flows well for family life with three reception rooms, a bespoke oak kitchen with a gas-fired AGA and a useful utility room. Upstairs there are up to five bedrooms, a main bathroom and a recently fitted shower room; the attic provides additional bedroom space or home-office potential. A substantial cellar houses two Baxi boilers and useful storage, while a detached double garage and ample off-street parking suit multiple cars or storage needs.
The mature, established gardens are a standout — private, planted with mature trees and rhododendrons and offering space for play, entertaining and potential landscaping projects. Practical points to note: the property is stone-built (granite/whinstone) and likely lacks modern wall insulation, and the council tax sits at Band G, which will be a significant running cost.
Overall this is a rare period family home in a very affluent, low-crime area with excellent mobile signal and average broadband. It will suit buyers seeking character, space and privacy, but those prioritising low energy bills or a fully modernised thermal envelope should budget for insulation and possible updating works.
