This hugely attractive, red-brick, Victorian family home has been in the same family since 1988 and comes to the market for the first time since then! The house is in a hugely well-regarded, convenient, position close to Seven Dials (0.2 miles). The house spans the original three generous floors and retains a wealth of period detail, including slate and cast-iron fireplaces with original tiled inserts, stripped wooden floors, ornate ceiling plasterwork and cornice mouldings. The proportions throughout are excellent and the house benefits from particularly good natural daylight, thanks to high ceilings and tall, wide, sash windows with coloured Victorian light accents. <br/> <br/>A handsome front door with delightful, leaded-light glass panels, leads into an entry vestibule and on into a delightful hallway, featuring an original Victorian encaustic tiled floor. Off this are two spacious reception rooms, including an impressive front sitting room with striking feature fireplace, and a rear dining room, currently used as a generous study/music room. By reinstating the original access to the side return and extending into it, the latter could be incorporated to enlarge the kitchen, as per plans the vendors have previously had drawn up. Between the two reception rooms, an elegant wooden staircase winds up to the first floor, past the attractive, stained glass, landing window, with a guest cloakroom tucked in below. <br/> <br/>Spanning the first and second floors, the bedrooms are all ample doubles and are served by two generous bathrooms. The layout is eminently adaptable with plenty of scope to modernise, enlarge and create an additional bathroom on the top floor, subject to necessary consents.
