SOLD - SUBJECT TO CONCLUSION OF MISSIVES
Seldom available on the market, this magnificent four bedroom terraced house represents an exciting opportunity to create a stunning family home with private gardens and off-street parking. Situated in desirable Trinity, the Victorian terraced house boasts the grand proportions typical of the era and has retained classic features, all of which are ripe for sympathetic restoration. Ripe for complete modernisation, the property also offers attractive potential to convert the attic into a master suite, and to add extra living space and/or private parking in the extensive walled garden to the rear (subject to relevant planning consents).
Situated on tranquil Derby Street, the terraced house instantly impresses with its stone façade and handsome bay windows. The solid front door swings open into a large vestibule, followed by the tremendous hall. Characterised by a sweeping staircase with a cast-iron and timber balustrade, this most welcoming space makes a striking first impression. Originally the family Kitchen, on the left is the enormous west-facing living room is flooded with light from a large bay window and its soaring ceiling is framed by intricate cornicing. The dining room to the rear provides another delightful reception room with an adjoining box room (once the maid’s bedroom). The dining room flows into the contemporary galley kitchen and store, which is bathed in light from a south-facing window and a glazed back door to the garden. Also on the ground floor is a versatile family room/ double bedroom (formerly the dining room). Continuing upstairs onto the first floor landing, here there are four impressive double bedrooms, three of which boast feature fireplaces. The first floor also accommodates a contemporary three-piece shower room. The house offers excellent internal storage including four hall cupboards on the ground floor and a good-sized landing cupboard with access to the attic. The property benefits from gas central heating powered by a modern boiler, which is approximately two years old. In addition to the neat front garden, the house also enjoys a substantial walled garden and a detached single garage to the rear.
