This magnificent family house is located in a convenient and desirable south city location on Hills Road backing onto The Perse School playing fields. It is believed to date from 1910 and was significantly extended in 2000 to create additional accommodation over two storeys and a large double garage. Extensive accommodation with a classic interior design and fine architectural features typical of the Edwardian era include grand bay windows to front and side aspects and elegant principal rooms with tall ceilings enjoying a high degree of natural light.
This fine period home extends to 2900 sqft. On the ground floor, an impressive reception hall leads to two beautiful reception rooms and then on to a large open plan kitchen/breakfast room providing an extensive range of bespoke cabinetry and appliances with access to and complete views of formal gardens, From here, there is a utility room, cloakroom/WC, a rear linking hallway with access to the garage, an inner courtyard and the third wonderfully bright garden room with a dual aspect, again with views across the garden.
The upper floors provide five well-proportioned double bedrooms, a first-floor study/bedroom 6, three bathrooms and a useful walk-in airing cupboard.
Outside, the property is approached via deep and broad frontage, well screened from the road, offering extensive off-street parking and access to a large double garage. An inner courtyard offers a private external space with access to rear accommodation. A particular feature of the property are the established south-west facing formal gardens, which boast manicured lawns with colourful and well-stocked borders, mature attractive trees and a full-width terrace, ideal for outside dining. The gardens adjoin The Perse School playing fields.
