Description

This grand six-bedroom Victorian home, dating back to approximately 1890, sits on a generous 0.5-acre plot in one of the region's most coveted locations. As you approach this striking semi-detached residence, you are greeted by its timeless architectural elegance and substantial curb appeal. The property spans three levels, offering spacious living areas ideal for both family life and entertaining. Inside, you'll find six well-proportioned bedrooms complemented by four reception rooms that allow for flexibility in how the space is used. The kitchen is functional but could benefit from modernisation to meet contemporary standards. A unique lounge bar adds an interesting element for entertaining guests or relaxing at home. Practical features include a family bathroom, an en suite, and two additional WCs. The home's distinctive steam room provides a touch of luxury that could be enhanced further. The outdoor area is particularly noteworthy; it features an expansive entertainment space complete with a custom-built hot tub privacy deck and gazebo area perfect for evening gatherings around the gas fire pit. The ornamental pond and extensive grounds create a serene environment, making it an excellent setting for social events or quiet retreats.
