13 Richmond Park Road is an elegant semi detached Victorian
townhouse, built in the late Georgian style and Grade II
Listed.
With a handsome dressed limestone faade the house exudes period
charm; with an abundance of retained period features both inside
and out.
Approached via a gated drive with off street parking for several
vehicles, a narrow drive leads down to a detached garage workshop
see agent‘s note with a screened private front garden and enclosed
rear garden.
Internally, the house is accessed via a delightful glazed porch,
with plenty of space to kick off coats and boots. A part glazed
front door leads into the welcoming entrance hall, with its
stunning curved balustrade stone staircase winding up to the first
floor and access underneath to the lower ground floor.
Also off the hall is a useful utility room, housing the boiler
and further storage.
The hall itself doglegs around to an inner hall, leading to the
fabulous open plan kitchen, dining and family room.
The natural light in these rooms is fantastic; with a
combination of flat and round arches leading through from one room
into the other with a stripped wooden floor and each with oversize
sash windows and working shutters. The period features are
delightful; stripped wooden doors, architraves and window surrounds
along with curved sash windows to the front with working shutters
and window seats with storage under.
The family room catches the afternoon light, with a period stone
fire surround and open hearth with a gas fire below. There is
plenty of room for an additional dining table and chairs along with
casual seating and a sociable aspect to the kitchen.
The kitchen and breakfast room are flooded with light from a
south easterly orientation and an attractive pair of oversize
French windows overlooking the rear garden. The kitchen is fitted
with a range of floor and wall mounted storage cupboards with a
recessed range cooker, undercounter fridge and integrated
dishwasher. A peninsular island houses a Belfast sink and overlooks
the breakfast room, with its own marble fireplace and open hearth
below.
From the hall, a sweeping stone balustrade staircase leads to
the first floor with a lovely galleried landing illuminated by an
oversize sash window.
To the front of the first floor is a charming sitting room; with
a stripped wooden floor, arched oversize sash windows and working
shutters, marble fireplace with a coal effect gas fire and fitted
recessed storage cupboards. This is a wonderfully relaxing room,
catching the afternoon light and opens out to a decked wooden
balcony.
To the rear lies the main bedroom with twin sash windows
overlooking the rear garden and plenty of space for free standing
wardrobes, or room to build in a suite of wardrobes if required.
This is served by a separate shower room accessed from the landing
with a corner shower cubicle, w.c, wash basin and opaque sash
window.
From the landing, wooden stairs lead up to the top floor. Across
the front is a full width bedroom with twin sash windows, fireplace
and fitted wardrobe whilst to the rear is a further double bedroom
with a period fireplace, a sash window overlooking the rear garden
and a fitted wardrobe.
These bedrooms share a family bathroom, with a twin ended
panelled bath, oversize shower cubicle, vanity basin, w.c and
opaque sash window.
From the entrance hall, stone steps lead down to the lower
ground floor, also accessible via a side door from the drive. This
has a lovely quarried stone terracotta tiled hallway with generous
vaulted storage rooms.
At present, the accommodation is arranged with two double
bedrooms, a kitchenette with access out into the garden and a
shower room but could equally pivot to a self contained one bedroom
annex utilising the second bedroom as a sitting room.
Outside
To the front, the house has a pretty courtyard garden, with a
stone tiled terrace screened from the front via a mature
hedge.
There is off street parking for one or two cars and a narrow
drive leads down to a garage workshop. This is a generous space,
with power, light and a side door into the garden.
The rear garden is gently tiered with a series of paved terraces
catching much of the day‘s sun. Nearest the house is a paved dining
terrace, with steps up to the rear leading back through a series of
further terraces and screened with mature borders.
AGENTS NOTE It should be noted the side drive is narrow and may
not be wide enough for many modern cars to reach the garage.
