A Victorian gem with level access to Durdham Downs.
A beautifully presented three storey family house with stone elevations, traditional sash windows, shuttered blinds and plenty of original detail. The spacious and elegant accommodation is arranged over three floors, with the added benefit of a two-bedroom self-contained garden apartment, providing further family / long term relative accommodation or as an income generator, with independent access and a dedicated front door to the side of the house. There are generous reception rooms, four good sized bedrooms served by three bathrooms, off street car parking and of particular note, a sizeable and fully enclosed rear garden with an advantageous orientation.
The property is approached via the vestibule with a solid door, stained and leaded top light and Art Nouveau window to the rear. The reception hall is both large and welcoming with a rising staircase to the upper floor galleried landing and includes a lantern light. Principal rooms either side are open plan. The drawing room interconnects with the withdrawing room, generous in scale with a feature square bay for the former, ornate fireplace and high ceilings with detail. The withdrawing room is equally well appointed with a picture window over the front elevation and either side of the fireplace there are built in wardrobes. A modern timber floor extends through from the principal rooms and into the reception hall. The Harvey Jones kitchen opens through to the dining room which is located to the rear of the house, the former includes a range of wall and base units with timber work surfaces and there are integrated appliances. The formal dining room has a wood burning stove into the traditional fireplace. There are casement windows with the original working shutters over the rear elevation and from the kitchen, double doors to a wrought iron balustraded balcony with steps to the rear garden. The lower ground floor has its own independent access to the side of the property and is either an extension of the home or can offer additional income. The accommodation includes two good sized bedrooms served by a shower room and separate cloakroom. There is a sitting room and additional kitchen/breakfast room.
There is allocated parking via a block paved drive and some landscaping above the sucken well. The rear garden is generous in scale and with a sunny Westerly orientation. This has been landscaped and includes a large terrace for al fresco dining and seating. The lawn is shaped with well stocked flower borders and there are some established trees, plants and evergreens and a useful hobby room or home office is also in evidence.

An immaculate family house, beautifully poised on the edge of the Downs and with versatile accommodation. I love the quiet streets of Sneyd Park and this house offers so much, well worth a look.
