Description

6 Chamberlain Road is a substantial detached Victorian villa offering beautifully proportioned family accommodation set over ground and first floors. The house benefits from an abundance of natural light throughout much of the day with aspects predominantly to the north and south. The house retains much of its period charm with a variety of original features including the Victorian tiled entrance vestibule and wooden parquet floored hallway, stone stair with wrought iron balustrades and impressive cornicing in the principal rooms. While now in need of modernising, the house offers great potential to create superb family living spaces with elegant reception rooms, complemented by generous bedrooms, making this a wonderful house and a rare opportunity.

The entrance vestibule opens to the impressive and welcoming reception hall from where the main living and reception rooms are accessed and the impressive stair rises to the first floor. To the front are the elegant drawing room and dining room, while situated to the rear of the principal part of the property are the conservatory, family room, breakfasting kitchen with pantry and cloakroom while there is also a utility room, coal cellar WC and further storage cupboards. Additionally, in what has been used as a self-contained apartment, there is a further sitting room, bedrooms, WC and large store.

On the first floor there is a wonderful drawing room, three generously proportioned double bedrooms as well as a dressing room/nursery and family bathroom. In the wing to the side, there are two further double bedrooms and a bathroom. There is access to the attic, where there may be further potential to extend subject to the necessary consents.

The house is set well back from the road, with an easily maintained front garden and gated path leading to the house. To one side there is a driveway providing off-street parking for a number of cars which leads to the double garage. To the rear of the property there is a magnificent south facing walled garden, planted with a wide variety of mature and colourful plants, shrubs and trees in the herbaceous borders surrounding the generous central lawn. Additionally there is a large patio, productive fruit and vegetable gardens and various out-buildings.
