Substantial stone-built detached family home, immaculately presented throughout and with beautiful garden grounds and off-street parking.
6 Wester Coates Gardens is a handsome detached stone built Arts & Crafts style villa, dating from 1906. The property offers well-proportioned family accommodation throughout and, with aspects to north, south, east and west, there is plenty of natural light throughout the day.
The house retains much of its original charm with a range of impressive period features including the original panelling in the hallway and reception rooms, delightful mantelpieces and detailed ceilings and cornices.
The property caters for modern family needs, with superb family living and reception spaces throughout the ground and lower ground floors. The front door opens to the vestibule and welcoming reception hall where there is a fireplace, original panelling and an impressive staircase which rises to the upper floor. The sitting room faces south and west with a large bay window which floods the room with natural light. The dining room is of similar proportions, with space for a large dining table and separate sitting area. There is recently extended family room, which is a delightful contemporary space with large south, west and north-facing windows overlooking the garden grounds. There is also a cloakroom and WC off the hallway.
The kitchen has been very tastefully finished and recently upgraded by the current owners, with a perfect blend of modern fittings with solid wood units and white marble worktops. There is an AGA and ample space for a table with built-in seating in the window. There is a utility room and boiler room off the kitchen.
The principal bedroom faces south and west, with a Juliette balcony. There is a dressing room next door, which has access onto the roof terrace atop the modern extension. There are four further generous double bedrooms on the first floor, two family bathrooms with separate shower units and free standing baths. There is also a separate WC and a number of useful cupboards off the landing hall.
A stair descends from the reception hall to the lower ground floor level where there is further reception space with flexibility for additional bedrooms if required. It has previously been a separate, self-contained flat, and could easily be used as this again if required. There is a magnificent snooker room with dado panelling and a WC off. This rooms connects to the recently refitted modern kitchen, with integrated appliances including a fridge, freezer, double oven and grill/microwave and gas hob. There are three further good sized rooms, currently used as a cinema room, home office and a play room, but could easily be used as comfortable double bedrooms. There is a wet room shower in addition. There is also direct access to the rear garden from this level.
The house sits on a large corner plot and is accessed via a gravelled driveway leading to the front door. There are gates which open onto Wester Coates Gardens at the other end of the drive. The front garden enjoys a southerly aspect and there are well maintained lawns to north and west, well screened by a mature hedge. The flower beds are stocked with a variety of mature plants, shrubs and trees which provide an abundance of colour.

I love what Wester Coates has to offer - it is a very quiet area of detached family homes, yet within striking distance of the West End and City centre - and, in my opinion, this is one of the best you will find!
