Hive Estates is proud to present this exceptional Victorian villa, dating back to the 1890s, a remarkable example of the era’s grandeur. With its original marble fireplaces, stunning period features, and spacious living areas, this home combines timeless charm with modern comforts.
As you step through the striking double front door, you're welcomed into a bright, inviting porch that leads into a grand hallway. The hallway sets the tone for the home, with an elegant ceiling rose, a beautiful chandelier, and an original tiled floor that adds to the property's enduring appeal. Period features are evident throughout, from vintage light switches to dark oakwood doors and exquisite stained glass windows, all enhancing the home’s character. From here, you have direct access to the lounge, dining room, kitchen, WC, and a grand staircase, its solid mahogany banister leading to the first floor. The large, light-filled lounge is a true showpiece, featuring an original marble fireplace, a bay window that floods the room with natural light, and soaring ceilings with an ornate ceiling rose and feature chandelier. The space is beautifully complemented by the privacy afforded by mature bushes at the front of the property. Adjacent to the lounge, the dining room—currently used as a second reception room—continues the period charm, with its own gas fire and stunning marble fireplace. Large windows ensure the room is bathed in natural light, while the original wooden floorboards add warmth and character. The kitchen, the most modern room in the house, is a sleek and functional space with grey gloss cabinetry and integrated appliances, including an induction hob, double oven, and space for an American fridge-freezer. A stylish breakfast bar is ideal for casual dining, and a large window provides abundant natural light. The kitchen offers excellent storage with floor-to-ceiling cabinets, plus an integrated cupboard. Beyond the kitchen, there is a separate, spacious utility room, ideal for additional appliances, with access to a private, fully enclosed rear yard—south-facing and a perfect suntrap. The yard also has a gate leading to the street behind. The grand staircase leads to the first floor, where the impressive landing retains the home’s distinctive features and charm. At the top of the stairs, a few more steps lead to a large cupboard offering additional storage space, while a ceiling window ensures the hallway remains bright and airy, enhanced by a stunning chandelier. The loft space is a true bonus, offering extensive, boarded-out storage, ideal for anyone in need of extra space. The master bedroom is a true highlight, spacious and light-filled with a beautiful bay window and another striking original fireplace. The second and third bedrooms are both generously proportioned, continuing the period features with fireplaces and high ceilings. The modern family bathroom is a luxurious space with a separate bath and shower, a sink, heated towel rail, and another large window that allows natural light to flood the room. A separate WC adds further convenience.
To the front of the property, a private driveway—unique on this street—provides off-street parking for up to four cars. The driveway is finished with pressed concrete, which extends to the rear yard, making for a low-maintenance.
Situated in a sought-after location with easy access to local transport links and amenities, this remarkable Victorian villa offers the rare opportunity to enjoy a home that seamlessly blends historic elegance with modern convenience.
