17 St Margaret's Road is a handsome and substantial 1930’s detached residence of immense quality, meticulously designed and extended to create a highly individual interior, which provides the perfect crossover of contemporary, functional living with all the charm and character of a 1930’s family house. The property has an attractive façade and similar steps have been taken to create exacting standards to the exterior design and garden areas.
Creative living spaces providing exceptional design features and a high degree of natural light, connect the extensive ground floor level, with an attention to detail rarely seen.
An inviting reception hall is enhanced by original and professionally restored parquet flooring, which continues through to other areas. An attractive staircase with stair lighting leads to the first-floor accommodation. A tasteful and colourful WC completes this area.
A central principal reception area has been creatively extended to provide an expansive open plan space, which combines a custom-made kitchen with a range of integrated appliances including double ovens, dual microwave/oven, bean to cup coffee machine and fridge/freezer, pantry cupboards with concertina doors and an oversized kitchen island with seating, induction hob, storage and wine cooler. A sitting area with a custom-built media unit and freestanding wood burning stove and dining area with sky lantern, underfloor heating and bifold doors, completes this impressive space.
A large dual aspect sitting room opens onto a private patio area. Bespoke cabinetry and book shelving has been added and there is a feature fireplace with an inset wood effect stove (gas).
A snug/study with original parquet flooring and made to measure shutters, and a large utility room providing additional storage, a second fridge/freezer and wash hand basin, complete the ground floor level.
The upper floor is equally impressive and provides an exceptional principal bedroom suite with a fully fitted walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious ensuite shower room. There are four further spacious bedrooms and a beautiful family bathroom suite with a roll-top bathtub and a separate shower cubicle.
Outside, the rear garden provides a high degree of privacy and showcases inspiring garden design at its best, as featured in the May edition of Ideal Home magazine. Coloured-themed borders surround a manicured lawn and connect to separate seating areas, a kitchen garden with irrigation system, a heated dining area and a Zen Garden. A statement water feature is prominently positioned to the rear of the garden and there is gated access, and an attractive timber shed with a ‘Dutch’ roof design.
