Description

This Edwardian property, located in the attractive area of Mannamead, embodies both historical charm and significant renovation potential. With five spacious bedrooms, this residence is well-suited for families or those considering investment opportunities. The property is positioned on a sought-after street that balances peaceful suburban life with easy access to city amenities. Nearby Mutley Plain serves as a vibrant hub, offering a variety of shops, cafes, and essential services within walking distance. The area is also known for its reputable schools, making it an appealing choice for families with children. Upon entering, you are greeted by a grand reception hall filled with original Edwardian features that highlight the home's character. High ceilings and intricate detailing create an inviting atmosphere from the start. The spacious family lounge and separate dining room provide versatile living spaces, ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. The dining room's flexibility allows it to be transformed into a home office or playroom if desired. At the back of the house, the kitchen and breakfast room serve as a functional hub for daily activities. A utility area and ground-floor bathroom enhance convenience, while access to the private courtyard garden offers an enjoyable outdoor space suitable for gatherings or quiet moments. The upper floor contains five well-sized bedrooms along with a family bathroom and separate WC. Notably, one bedroom includes a secondary kitchen setup from previous use as a multi-generational home—a rare opportunity that could be reinstated as a self-contained unit or reverted back to an additional bedroom. Given the property's existing layout and size, there lies substantial investment potential. Subject to appropriate planning permissions, this residence could be converted into two self-contained flats—a valuable option for investors seeking rental income or homeowners wanting separate living quarters for extended family members. With its blend of period elegance and modern possibilities, this property represents an excellent canvas for buyers looking to personalize or renovate a distinctive home in a highly desirable location. The current registration as two separate dwellings with associated utilities adds further layers of flexibility regarding future use.
