A rare opportunity to acquire this grand detached period residence on St Edwards Road, an elegant home distinguished by its handsome façade, featuring a central entrance doorway framed by attractive double bay windows. A substantial side extension incorporates a double-length garage, while to the rear, a beautifully mature south-facing courtyard garden provides a private and tranquil outdoor retreat. The property is entered via an impressive reception hall, where natural light cascades through an oversized sash window on the half landing, creating a wonderful sense of space and grandeur.
Flanking the hallway are two generous reception rooms, currently arranged as a formal dining room and an elegant sitting room, the latter enjoying direct access to the garden. To the rear of the ground floor is a cloakroom/WC and a superb open-plan kitchen/dining room, designed for modern family living and entertaining. Bifold doors open seamlessly onto the south-facing garden, while a separate door provides access to the side passage. The split-level first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring a dedicated dressing room accessed via a short step down from the bedroom, leading onwards to a luxurious four-piece en-suite bathroom. A family bathroom and an additional shower room serve the remaining bedrooms on this floor. Occupying the top floor is a fourth bedroom, ideal as a guest suite, teenager’s retreat, or home office. Further accommodation is found within the extensive basement, which is divided into four useful areas comprising a central hall with wine cellar, a full utility room, a boiler room, and a low-ceiling storage room. Combining elegant period character with generous family accommodation and excellent ancillary space, this distinguished home is offered to the market with no forward chain.
