About this property

  • Set across the entire raised ground floor of this impressive Victorian villa, 1 Queens Road is a double-fronted light, spacious and characterful apartment benefitting from tall ceiling heights, well-proportioned rooms, attractive bay windows, and further characteristic attributes such as deep skirting boards, sash windows and decorative coving. Having been subject to considerable improvement under our clients' ownership, 1 Queens Road is a fine example of period charm meeting contemporary style to truly enhance and showcase the space on offer.

    On entering through the private and original main entrance to the building, a welcoming reception hall leads to the large kitchen/dining room with large attractive windows and feature fireplace; the kitchen enjoys good storage and preparation space, with integrated appliances, wine fridge and a large island unit ideal for more informal dining and entertaining on a large scale.

    Our clients use the further sizeable reception room with bay window and bespoke cabinetry as a formal sitting room which is a wonderful space for hosting friends and family in comfort, but could, of course, be used as a further double bedroom. Both of the reception rooms enjoy the delightful outlook to the front over the St John's Church and the accompanying green.

    The principal bedroom enjoys good storage with fitted wardrobes and ample space for further furniture, with a smart en suite shower room. A further bedroom is currently used for working from home and occasional entertaining with a bank of fitted wardrobes providing further good storage. A well-appointed bathroom completes the accommodation.

    Outside - The communal gardens have also been improved with an area of paved terrace and raised decking, with a fire pit and communal seating. The communal garden can be accessed via a spiral staircase off the principal bedroom or via a gated approach on ground level to the side of the house. No.1 has exclusive rights to one of the storage sheds in the garden.

    Parking - On street parking is available nearby; there is also a council-run car park nearby for which a season ticket may be purchased, but buyers will need to make enquiries with TWBC directly.

    1 Queens Road is ideal for those looking for a home with the convenience of central town living, or an ideal "lock up and leave" opportunity.

The notable standard of presentation, the size of the rooms and flexibility of the layout, combined with the outlook over the Church and the location combine to make this a stand out apartment for me. It's a super spot for town living in style!
