5 Bedroom Villa

Providing an internal floor area approaching 3,000 square feet, this outstanding, bay windowed, late Victorian villa enjoys a wonderful situation towards the upper part of Park Grove, placing Locke Park within easy pedestrian reach, whilst the town centre is also easily accessed.  Extensively renovated and re-appointed around 10 years ago, it provides a wonderful blend of original Victorian features which are beautifully complemented by high quality contemporary fittings and for any multi-generational family buyer, it also offers a full basement level which has potential to be occupied on a self-contained basis.  Benefiting of course from gas fired central heating and uPVC double glazing, it overlooks a very private enclosed, low maintenance rear garden, with generous synthetic lawn and built-in timber Wendy House with elevated deck over and affords accommodation which extends to entrance vestibule, reception hall, formal bay windowed lounge, outstanding open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, basement level which provides a utility room, games room, hobby/gym room, cloaks/WC and extensive storage.  To the first floor there are three bedrooms and an outstanding bathroom with additional separate WC, whilst the second floor provides two further bedrooms (five beds in total), a generous landing/sitting area and (now decommissioned) shower room. Potential exists for the removal of the shower cubicle and basin, and the creation of a walk-in wardrobe, or study.
