Description

3 Beaconsfield Road is a beautiful B Listed family home. Dating from 1883 and attributed to the architects H & D Barclay, this wonderful blonde sandstone four storey townhouse is in immaculate order throughout and benefits from a wonderful south facing rear garden as well as private gardens to the front of the property.

The accommodation is formed over four levels and offers tremendous versatility alongside comfort, convenience and a wealth of period charm. On entering the hallway the exceptional design detail of the property is immediately evident with its beautiful frieze, high ceilings and sandstone fireplace with wood burning stove, all showcasing the style and quality of this fabulous home. As one would expect with a property of this vintage, the reception areas, of which there are three, are of enviable proportions. The ground floor sitting room has a mixture of wood panelling at lower levels, ornate cornicing and ceiling plasterwork, as well as original sash and case windows with full height shuttering. From the sitting room a glazed door opens through to the kitchen. This is a seriously impressive and spacious room with a German kitchen formed with a Silestone worktop, ample storage and a central island with adjoining dining area. The kitchen looks onto the south facing garden. The large scale, double glazed windows allow light from the back of the house to stream all the way through to the sitting toom at the front of the house. The kitchen benefits from a five ring Rangemaster with double oven and extractor above. Other appliances include an integrated Miele dishwasher and a Samsung double width American style fridge and freezer (included in the sale). Conveniently situated to one side of the kitchen is a utility room, again with fitted work surfaces with storage beneath and a sink, along with plumbing for washing machine and dryer.

The first floor drawing room Is perhaps the most outstanding room of all, with floor to ceiling windows including a central bay window, ornate cornicing and a magnificent open fireplace. This is a superb entertaining space which is further enhanced with the integrated sound system which operates throughout the house.
Bedrooms on the first and second floors are all generous in size. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room and an additional walk in dressing area. The second floor sees a beautifully bright and spacious guest suite with its own en suite bathroom and two larger bedrooms with a smaller fifth bedroom which doubles as a study. These further bedrooms share a family bathroom with an additional shower. Accessed via a Ramsay ladder from Bedroom 3, is an extensive boarded loft which extends almost the entire width of the house providing ample storage. One of the features of the property is the newly restored cupola, which bathes the upper levels with natural light. A smaller cupola can be found in the family bathroom.
From the ground floor hallway stairs lead down to the lower ground floor with access to the rear garden. From the lower ground corridor there is a door to a further sitting room, kitchenette and two bedrooms with a separate shower room. This self-contained two bedroom apartment, whilst it can be accessed internally, also benefits from having its own front external access. This means there is an opportunity for rental income, independent multi-generational accommodation, or simply additional self sufficient guest suites. This lower level has undergone a complete renovation during the current owners' tenure.
The front of the property has a private garden secured behind a private hedge and a paved walkway leading to the front steps and entrance vestibule. Steps also lead down to a private front entrance to the lower ground floor self-contained apartment. This front garden gets the sun in the morning and into the early afternoon.
To the rear of the property is the southwest facing garden which features beautifully designed flowerbeds. Wisteria, clematis, a rambling rose and other flowering plants provide wonderful colour throughout the spring and summer months.
Accessed from the rear lane through double doors is a paved area with raised beds. This area would be suitable for parking a small car.
