The Property

A superb example of its type, this beautifully presented Victorian house has been recently extended to create an impressive second floor and offers scope for further enlargement to the ground floor subject to the necessary consents.

The ground floor offers two well-proportioned separate reception rooms currently configured as a dining room at the front leading to a lobby, from which the stairs rise to the first and second floors, and which in turn leads to the sitting/family room at the rear. Both reception rooms feature impressive fireplaces and built in storage. To the rear of the house is a charming cottage style kitchen/breakfast room which leads via a door to the side to the garden. The kitchen offers scope to enlarge to the side/rear, subject to the usual consents but currently features shaker style cabinets, beech block counter tops, a Belfast sink, quarry tiles to the floor, and windows to the side and rear.

To the first floor are two of the three/four bedrooms as well as stylishly appointed family bathroom, generously proportioned with a separate bath and walk in shower cubicle, the room features painted tongue and groove style panelling, and like both bedrooms on this floor stripped wooden flooring. To the second floor the house has been greatly enhanced by virtue of a double-dormer loft conversion creating an impressive principal bedroom with en-suite shower room at the rear, while to the front is a useful home office which could be used as bedroom 4 or nursery if so required.

Outside

The house sits behind a handsome brick-built period façade with generous sash windows and a smart front door with feature, stained glass panels, all beneath a slate hung pitched roof, and behind a low maintenance paved townhouse style garden with a pretty painted picket fence to the front boundary.

To the rear is a well-proportioned garden with a southerly aspect. Offering low-maintenance outside space ideal for al-fresco dining and entertaining, there is a block paved terrace across the back of the house, leading to an artificial lawn surrounded by part fenced, part brick-built boundaries, with planted raised beds and a timber store.

Location

Church Street is a highly sought after residential street in a popular and convenient central conservation area location within easy reach of the city centre, mainline station, highly regarded schools, and extensive local amenities.
