Rarely available and occupying a commanding position within an attractive terrace of period homes, this exceptional double-fronted residence offers a remarkable opportunity to acquire a substantial family home with the added benefit of a self-contained one-bedroom flat, all held within a single freehold title. Extending to over 3,200 sq ft and complemented by a driveway, garage and a stunning level rear garden of approximately 100 feet, the property effortlessly combines elegant period character with the space and versatility demanded by modern family life.

Approached via a private driveway, the handsome façade immediately sets the tone for what lies beyond. Inside, the accommodation is both generous and beautifully balanced, with high ceilings, large windows and an abundance of natural light throughout. The welcoming entrance hall leads to an elegant bay-fronted living room, a wonderfully proportioned space ideal for both entertaining and quieter evenings at home.

Across the rear of the property, the spacious kitchen and dining room forms the true heart of the house, providing an impressive setting for family gatherings, celebrations and everyday living. Thoughtfully designed with both practicality and sociability in mind, this room flows seamlessly into the later extension which now provides a comfortable family room, creating additional reception space and a cosy retreat overlooking the garden. A convenient ground floor cloakroom completes this level.

The upper floors provide superb family accommodation. The first floor offers four generous bedrooms together with two bathrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom with a large bay window and attractive outlooks. The remaining bedrooms are all well-proportioned, making them ideal for children, guests or additional workspaces if required. Rising to the second floor, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom provide a fantastic degree of flexibility, creating an ideal teenager's floor, guest suite or accommodation for extended family members.

One of the home's standout features is its exceptional adaptability. In addition to the principal accommodation, there are two dedicated study or home office rooms, perfectly suited to modern hybrid working arrangements, creative pursuits or quiet spaces for study.
Whether working from home full-time, running a business or simply needing additional reception space, the layout readily adapts to a variety of lifestyles.

Beneath the main house, the lower ground floor has been arranged as a self-contained one-bedroom flat, providing independent accommodation while remaining connected to the overall property ownership. Comprising its own living area, kitchen, bedroom and shower room, it presents a wealth of possibilities, whether for multi-generational living, dependent relatives, guest accommodation, au pair quarters or as a potential source of supplementary income. The fact that the house and flat are all held within one title only enhances the flexibility on offer.

Outside, the rear garden is truly a rare find. Extending to approximately 100 feet and unusually level, it provides a wonderful sense of space and privacy rarely found so close to the city. Mature trees, established planting and expansive lawns create a peaceful and secluded setting, while generous paved terraces offer the perfect spaces for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the changing seasons. Families will appreciate the vast area for children to play, while keen gardeners will recognise the potential of such an impressive plot.

Properties of this calibre are seldom available. Offering six bedrooms within the main house, a self-contained one-bedroom flat, multiple reception spaces, dedicated home offices, a garage, private driveway and an exceptional garden, this is a home that can evolve with its owners for many years to come. Whether seeking space for a growing family, multi-generational living, home working or income potential, this outstanding period residence delivers an extraordinary combination of character, scale and versatility.
