Property description
INTRODUCTION Detached period houses do not come up for sale in this area very often, especially ones of this quality & size. Having six, that's SIX, bedrooms & a very distinctive front elevation with bay windows to each of the 3 floors. Detached Victorian houses are a rarity, as most houses built in this period are of a semi detached or terrace nature, making 66 Western Road a very unique & desirable home, with features that only a detached can offer, such as windows at the side of the property, allowing for more natural light into the property.
GROUND FLOOR A canopy porch leads to a vestibule, both having Minton tiled floor & further door into the hall. The hall is a lovely entrance to the property, having laminate flooring & a staircase to the 1st floor. Under the stairs is a floor to the cellar, which leads under the rear reception room. Leading off the hall is a guest WC, which has a wash basin. The lounge is a lovely bright & airy room, that really makes the most of its high ceilings & original bay window with leaded light glazing & sash windows. Also, there is a fireplace with coal effect fire & an exposed timber floor. The sitting room is a cosy room, benefitting from a window to the side & French doors out to the patio, as well as exposed timber flooring. The breakfast kitchen has ample space for a table, allowing it to be used for dining purposes. There are fitted wall & base units, gas hob with hood over, electric oven & grill, plumbing for a washing machine & a dishwasher, sink & wall mounted gas central heating boiler. The conservatory is a fabulous addition to the rear, reminiscent of a Victorian verandah with a tiled floor & enjoys views over the garden through its double glazed windows & French doors.
FIRST FLOOR LANDING A landing leads from the stairs & has a further staircase, with cupboard beneath, leading to the 2nd floor. Bedroom 1, at the front, has exposed timber flooring & a bay window. Leading off is an ensuite of WC, wash basin, bath with shower unit over & tiling to both walls & floor. Bedroom 2 has a focal point of an original fireplace with ornate tiled inset & hearth. Bedroom 3, at the rear, has a wardrobe housing the water tank, laminate flooring & a period style fireplace. The last bedroom on this floor is bedroom 6, a single bedroom with laminate floor that could be used as a study or office. The WC has been refitted & is separate to the bathroom, which has also been refitted with a bath, with shower over & sink, both with mixer taps & tiling to the walls & floor.
SECOND FLOOR The 2nd floor has a landing with ceiling window & panel beneath, a clever design feature that allows natural light on to the landing below. Bedroom 4 is a room of surprising size, with a high ceiling, especially for the 2nd floor, period fire surround & bay window. Bedroom 5 has exposed timber flooring, period fire surround & windows to rear & side. This floor is complimented by a shower room, which has a shower cubicle & wash basin.
EXTERIOR To the front is a wide block paved driveway, providing off road parking. To the rear is a garden of substantial size, with a large paved patio & timber shed & an extensive lawn. The garden offers a great deal of seclusion & is a great space for a family to enjoy.
