Owen Reilly are delighted to present this exquisite Victorian residence, a truly exceptional three-bedroom period home dating from c.1882, discreetly tucked behind its handsome bay-windowed redbrick façade and mature greenery. Meticulously restored, refurbished, and extended to the highest standards, the property perfectly marries period grandeur with contemporary comfort. A wealth of original features has been beautifully preserved, including ornate ceiling cornices, centre roses, polished floorboards, original fireplaces, and panelled doors — all enhanced by impressive ceiling heights of up to 3.25m (12 ft). The accommodation flows effortlessly around a central courtyard, creating a wonderful sense of light and connection between formal and informal spaces. The gracious bay-windowed living room and interconnecting dining room open onto the tranquil courtyard, while the bespoke kitchen—complete with pantry—leads seamlessly to a spacious living/breakfast room with French doors to the south-facing rear garden. The ground floor also includes a guest cloakroom and generous understairs storage. Upstairs, the hall return hosts a practical utility area, a beautifully appointed bathroom with freestanding cast iron bath, and a double bedroom currently used as a home office. On the upper floor, two elegant double bedrooms each feature en-suite shower rooms, with the principal bedroom spanning the width of the house and boasting a cleverly designed ensuite that preserves its impressive Victorian proportions. Outside, the south-facing walled rear garden is a serene urban oasis with a pebbled terrace, lush planting, and a charming garden studio—perfect for a home office or creative workspace. Rear vehicular access with electric roller shutters provides secure off-street parking, an EV charging point, and a useful lock-up store. Combining timeless period elegance with thoughtful modern enhancements—including rewiring, replumbing, full insulation and a new roof (2022)—this outstanding home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a Victorian gem finished to the highest standards, just moments from the heart of the city.
