Location
A substantial Victorian family home at the heart of St Cross, currently in catchment of the highly regarded St Faith's Primary School and close to the water meadows leading to the city.
This imposing Victorian home welcomes you with the most attractive front door leading to the entrance hall and accommodation that extends to approximately 2450 sq. ft. arranged over three floors. The ground floor comprises a sitting room with an attractive bay window and working fireplace, a dining room that is currently configured as an office with stylish built in storage. Double doors link to a superb family room with a set of French doors to the garden. The kitchen is particularly special and easily the heart of the home with space for a dining table, vaulted ceiling and French doors leading to a west facing terrace. There is also a separate utility room and cloakroom on the ground floor.
The five bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors with three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor and a further two bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor. The uppermost floors afford a stunning far-reaching view across the meadows towards St Catherine Hill. A particular highlight is the generous primary bedroom featuring built in wardrobes, a vaulted ceiling, and views over The Hospital of St Cross on to the meadows.
OUTSIDE
The property is in a slightly elevated position with three steps leading through a pillared entrance to the front garden, which is mostly laid to lawn with mature trees, shrubs and a path leading to the front door. There is side access leading to the rear garden that has been beautifully landscaped with established flower beds, mature specimen trees and a wonderful terrace. There is an expanse of open and flat manicured lawns leading to a charming summer house or garden studio. Due to the maturity and well-designed planting, the gardens feels extremely private and offer a stunning outlook from the terrace which enjoys the afternoon and evening sun due to its westerly aspect.
