Description

A very handsome semi-detached Victorian villa (3,748 sq ft), exuding period character and charm, with a plethora of period features. The property is one of eight villas constructed in 1850 and, as far as we are aware, is the last of the ‘Spencer Villas’ not to have been substantially modernised or extended.   

The plot is unusually large, with a magnificent mature garden to the rear and to the front, ample gated, off-street parking.

Attractive stone steps lead up to an impressive reception hall, leading in turn to some of the most spectacular reception space we've seen; ideal for family living and entertaining on a grand scale.

To the right on entry is a fabulous dual aspect reception space, with fine symmetry and two fireplaces. Vast sash windows bring in an abundance of light and afford wonderful views out over the glorious garden to the rear.

There are then steps down to the kitchen / breakfast / family room, which also has a superb garden aspect and this in turn leads on to the country house type laundry room and gives access on to the garden; certainly one of the largest we have seen.

The lower ground floor is expansive, with two symmetrical reception / bedrooms, providing flexible family accommodation and again with high ceilings and beautiful fireplaces. There is also a large cellar, two storage areas, a family bathroom and a small plant room.

At first floor, half landing level, there is a bedroom with a large bay window giving far reaching views over the wonderful garden and beyond. Then at first floor level there is a large principal bedroom with en suite facilities and a further large symmetrical double which is well served by a family bathroom.

Passing another bedroom at half landing, the top floor is given over to a good sized bedroom with a real Montmartre / Parisian feel to it. Also an ideal hide away or study, tucked away quietly at the top of the house.

The rear garden extends to some 213 feet and is a wonderful oasis for keen gardeners; also ideal for the needs of a growing family.

This property has been in the same ownership for 48 years and whilst beautifully cared for, during that time, including a new roof in 2023, remains as untouched a proposition as you could wish for.
