Accommodation

This handsome, semi-detached Victorian house is set near the top of the ever-popular Woodbury Park Road, within a short walk of the town centre, schooling for all ages and only 15 minutes walk to the mainline station. These homes are exceptionally popular with families due to the convenient location and the generous room proportions. This property has been loved by the current owners for the past 13 years and they have made numerous improvements during this time, yet still offering scope for personalisation. Set back from the road and well-screened by mature hedging, the house feels quite private and an area of courtyard garden to the front provides an attractive outlook from the front reception room.

The hallway offers plenty of space for coats and shoes, with a useful storage cupboard under the stairs. The front reception room has a large bay window and fireplace with bespoke cabinetry to the side. It is a wonderfully light room with tall ceilings, coving and picture rails. The kitchen is in the heart of the home, having been re-fitted in 2022 by Burnhill Kitchens and features a lovely window seat and space for a large dining table in the centre. The blue shaker-style units are complemented by white marble-effect worksurfaces and integrated appliances including an eye-level Neff double oven, a Neff dishwasher and Neff gas hob, with space for an American-style fridge/freezer. To the rear of the house, is the main sitting room with three tall sash windows affording far-reaching views over the gardens and townscape beyond. Period features include a cast-iron fireplace, cornice and picture rail and the flooring is an attractive, yet highly practical herringbone style by Karndean. From the kitchen and rear lobby, there is a door leading to the side path, with a useful covered area to the front by the garden gate and leading also to the rear garden. Steps lead down from the lobby lead to a large utility room which is an incredibly useful space for laundry but our sellers have also installed a drinks fridge, perfect for the barbecue season and a door leads directly onto the decked terrace. From the utility room, there is a cloakroom, again, very convenient when out in the garden, and another door leads through to excellent basement storage, where the hot water cylinder for the boiler can also be found.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors of the house and are all generous double rooms. On the first floor, the owners use the rear bedroom as the master room, being a generous double room with far-reaching views over roof tops and treetops and an attractive feature fireplace with built-in wardrobe. However, the largest bedroom is to the front of the house, being of equal width but with a large bay window to mirror the front reception room, again with an attractive fireplace and built-in cupboard as well as having plenty of space for freestanding furniture. The third bedroom on this floor, is the smaller of the five and is currently used as a home office yet is still a generous double room with the fireplace having decorative tiled inserts and a built-in cupboard to the side. To complete this floor, are the family bathroom with shower over the bath and a wash basin, adjacent to a separate cloakroom which could happily be combined to create a larger bathroom.

There are two further double rooms on the second floor and whilst partially below eaves, the space is still impressive and the ceiling heights good. All the rooms are filled with natural light, due to the large sash windows which were restored in 2013, including some being converted to double glazed units. The views from the rear bedroom are particularly wonderful and our sellers have enjoyed watching many firework displays across the town from this vantage point. In 2015, the owners created a shower room to serve the top floor bedrooms with a shower cubicle, WC and a wash basin with useful storage. There is storage space easily accessible in the eaves, as well as shallow storage in the loft space above.

Outside, as previously mentioned, there is a sheltered courtyard garden to the front, enclosed with mature hedging and featuring raised beds. A gate to the side of the house leads through a useful covered area, past the kitchen door and down to the decked terrace as the perfect spot for a summer barbecue. A magnificent Wisteria adorns the rear of the house, with a beautiful Acer in the centre of the terrace, with steps leading down to a level lawn with flower borders featuring a variety of spring bulbs, roses, mature shrubs and perennials to ensure colour and interest throughout the year. At the far end of the garden, is a further patio area which we understand is the perfect spot for shade in the heat of the day or to catch the last of the evening sunshine. The garden was landscaped in 2023 and is a beautiful feature of the property and a good size for such a central location.

This super property must be viewed to fully appreciate the generous room proportions and how versatile the house can be for a growing family.
