Landscaped rear garden, mature front garden, driveway and single garage

Set on a wide, mature plot in Stoneygate, this newly renovated three-bedroom mid-terrace blends period charm with contemporary systems. The current owners completed an 18-month restoration including full rewiring, replumbing, replacement windows and doors, replastering and modern kitchen and bathrooms while revealing vaulted bedroom ceilings and other original details. The result is a spacious home that comfortably suits family life and entertaining.

Accommodation is arranged over two principal storeys with a large, four-part cellar (full standing height) that offers genuine potential for conversion subject to the necessary consents. The ground floor provides a welcoming porch and hallway, dining and sitting rooms with high ceilings and fireplaces, a utility/boot room and a kitchen with underfloor heating and integrated appliances that opens to a landscaped rear garden. Upstairs are three generous bedrooms, an en-suite and a family bathroom; the master benefits from a vaulted ceiling and bay window.

Outdoor space is a major selling point: a private, landscaped rear garden with terrace lighting, a mature front garden, a gravelled shared driveway and a single garage with electric door. Practical modern comforts include mains gas central heating with wet underfloor zones, full fibre broadband and secondary glazing. Council Tax sits at Band C and the property is offered freehold.

Buyers should note some trade-offs: the property’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, and the Energy Performance Certificate is currently rated E. The cellar — while sizeable and full height — would require planning and conversion costs to create habitable space. Overall, this is a rare, large-period home in a very affluent, well-connected neighbourhood, ideal for families seeking space, style and scope to add value.
