Property Description
OVER 2,200 SQ FT | WONDERFUL PERIOD FEATURES | WOODLAND VIEWS
Preston Baker are delighted to offer to the market for the first time in over 30 years, this handsome, six bedroom home, with charming original features and enviable views directly overlooking Gledhow Valley Woods.
"We have loved living in such a tranquil setting with beautiful woodland views. We have very much enjoyed entertaining family and friends over the years and the freedom of space for our growing family" - the current owners.
Built in 1927, the property was originally the show home and is one of the largest on the street, offering over 2,200 square feet of living space. Upon entering the property through the porch, you are greeted by the impressive entrance hallway which provides an instant sense of grandeur, with original panelling, plate shelves, stained glass, and an open staircase leading to the upper floors. A downstairs w/c has been installed under the stairs with wash hand basin.
To your left is the bay fronted dining room, which has plenty of original features such as panelling, cornicing, and a fireplace with the original marble surround. The room enjoys the lovely views of the woodland opposite and currently accommodates an 8-seater dining table.
At the rear of the home is the welcoming, spacious lounge, with multi-fuel burning fireplace and stone mantle, original ceiling rose, cornicing, panelling and ornate plaster-work detailing. The room has solid oak flooring and there are patio doors leading out to the south/west facing rear garden.
The kitchen/diner also boasts a multi-fuel burning fireplace and has the wonderful feature of the original servants bells above the doorway. There is space for a large dining table and there is a door leading out to the side of the property onto the driveway. The kitchen briefly comprises; solid wooden cabinets, solid marble worktops, a double RangeMaster oven, Belfast sink, and space for a fridge/freezer and washing machine. There is plumbing in place for a dishwasher and a door to a handy larder which also houses the boiler.
To the first floor are four bedrooms. The double bedroom at the front elevation boasts a feature fireplace and an en-suite shower room. There is a very spacious bedroom at the rear overlooking the garden, which is fitted with original, decorative, hand-carved walnut wardrobes. The third bedroom at the rear is a double and features similar hand-carved fitted furniture. The fourth room is a good sized single.
Also on the first floor is the bright and airy house bathroom which features w/c, wash hand basin, heated towel radiator, walk-in shower and a free-standing bath.
To the second floor are two further bedrooms, currently used as study and workshop spaces. The top floor offers further potential for a large dormer extension to create additional space and a bathroom.
The current owners have kept the property well maintained and other upgrades that have been completed over the years include a new roof, windows and boiler.
Externally, there is a pretty front garden with stone wall, mature shrubbery and a driveway providing off-street parking for multiple vehicles. At the rear of the property is the single garage, patio, and a large lawned area. The enclosed garden is south-west facing and so enjoys plenty of sunshine throughout the day and into the evenings. In the garden lies a unique piece of history, with an air raid shelter dug underneath, which is still accessible and provides full head height outdoor storage, plus a fun place for children to explore!
The locality offers something for everyone. Within walking distance there are plenty of places to eat and drink with coffee shops, bakeries, bars and restaurants on the bustling town street in Chapel Allerton. There is a great community feel around the home with a neighbourhood WhatsApp group. There are well regarded schooling options nearby, plus excellent commuter links and regular public transport.
