26 Hanbury Road is a superb semi detached townhouse, situated in
an enviable location with Whiteladies Road to the east, Clifton
village to the west, The Downs just to the north and Clifton
Triangle not too far to the south.
Over their years of ownership, the owners have both improved the
house dramatically, whilst also maintaining it to the highest
standards; with the property given a thorough overhaul along with
full redecoration both internally and externally completed in
2020.
A path leads from the side of the drive to the front door, with
a useful internal porch giving access to the original entrance, as
well as direct access from the rear into the garden. Perfect
storage for muddy boots, coats and prams.
The original front door leads into a beautiful entrance hall,
with a tessellated floor and delightful turned balustrade staircase
leading to the floors above, along with retained ceiling cornice
work. Beneath the stairs is direct access to the lower ground floor
annex whilst at the end of the hall is a useful downstairs
cloakroom.
To the front of the house lie two superb reception rooms; with
the sitting room enjoying a wide triple sash bay window, engineered
wooden floor, period fire surround and retained corniced ceiling
plasterwork.
Adjacent to this is a charming study or games room, fully
carpeted with a sash window, carved oak fire surround, coal effect
gas fire and retained corniced ceiling plasterwork.
On the opposite side of the hallway is a charming suite of
rooms, with the generous and beautifully proportioned bay fronted
dining room opening up and leading down to the family kitchen,
complete with AGA and an expanse of Corian worktops, floor and wall
mounted storage.
This is a wonderfully sociable space, opening up into the sun
drenched conservatory with a pair of French doors leading out into
the private rear garden.
From the hall, a turned balustrade staircase leads up to the
first floor landing, with a useful study or third bedroom on the
half landing.
Across the first floor lie two exceptional bedroom suites; one
to the front and one to the rear with the principal bedroom at the
front enjoying a triple sash bay fronted window and en suite bath &
shower room. To the rear the guest suite overlooks the garden; also
with a bay fronted window and has the sole use of an en suite
shower room.
Also on the first floor is a well appointed family bath & shower
room serving bedrooms three & five.
Bedroom five itself is situated on the half landing leading up
to the top floor which, with an expanse of fitted wardrobes, serves
as a useful dressing room.
The top floor itself is entirely given over to a superb fourth
bedroom; perfect for a teenage child, studio office or au pair
accommodation and is served by its own en suite bathroom, feature
toughened glass ceiling light and a triple aspect flooding the room
with natural light.
Accessed from the top floor is also an abundance of storage,
from a generous walk in loft room to wrap around eaves
storage.
The Annexe
Accessed from either the main house via a contemporary staircase
down from the entrance hall, or via the garage from the driveway is
a superb one bedroom annex.
Arranged with a stylish and contemporary fitted kitchen in the
hall the annex benefits from a deep 21‘ sitting room, generously
proportioned double bedroom and a separate well appointed shower
room.
This is a superb addition to the house and truly opens up the
versatility of the accommodation; whilst at the same time not
losing the benefit of the integrated single garage to the
front.
Outside
From its off street parking for several cars and integrated
garage at the front, to its fully enclosed walled garden at the
rear 26 Hanbury Road has an enviable amount of useful outside
space.
The garden in particular is a delight, with bursts of colour and
form from spring through to winter.
Immediately outside the conservatory is the perfect breakfast
terrace catching the early morning light, whist to the rear is the
paved afternoon and evening terrace; catching the last of the day‘s
sun.
Between lies an expanse of level lawn, interspersed with mature
beds, trees and shrubs with a mature eucalyptus providing shade
from the sun.
Walled on three sides, and with direct access via the secure
entrance porch to the front this is a safe and private space for
families of all ages and size to enjoy all year round.
