7 Pembroke 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.
Over the past few years the house has been meticulously
refurbished and redecorated by the current owners; sensitively
reconfiguring the layout to provide family accommodation suitable
to 21st Century needs whilst installing a new kitchen and several
new bath shower rooms.
Approached via a pillared entrance with off street parking for
numerous vehicles, a flag stone path leads up to the front door,
with gated access to the rear garden and steps down to the self
contained lower ground floor flat.
Inside the principal house there is a useful entrance porch for
taking off coats and shoes, with part stained glass door into the
welcoming entrance hall.
Here the refreshed and refurbished style of the house blends in
with the original features, with stripped back and distressed
wooden floorboards a feature throughout the house blending with the
retained plasterwork, shuttered sash windows and original
features.
An arch opens up leading into the open plan kitchen, dining room
an sitting room. L shaped and hugely sociable this is a wonderful
space for families of all ages and size to enjoy; with a recently
fitted DeVol kitchen overlooking the garden, with a Bert & May
tiled splashback and refurbished Everhot range cooker along with
plenty of space for a large central island and generous family
dining table.
The whole rear kitchen dining space opens up to the front, with
a warm and welcoming cast iron stove recessed into the fireplace
providing a central feature with a period fire surround and a
triple sash shuttered bay window flooding the room with natural
light.
Adjacent to this is a charming family room; again fitted with a
stylish 30‘s ceramic fire surround integrating seamlessly with the
retained period plasterwork.
Also accessed from the hall floor is a separate boot room,
leading out to the garden, a separate cloakroom and access from the
house down to the lower ground floor flat. Accessed from the half
landing above is a useful fully plumbed utility room.
A sweeping stone staircase leads to the light filled first floor
landing, with the whole floor redesigned to provide an
exceptionally spacious master suite comprising a sitting room with
woodburning stove, master bedroom, dressing room, beautiful bath
shower room and a home office. This creates a wonderful owner‘s
suite with no expense spared; including a sumptuous Paris twin
ended bath and bow fronted double basin both by Water Monopoly;
with Lefroy Brooks tapware and accessories along with an oversize
walk in shower with Petra Palumbo delft tiles.
Across the top floor lie three further double bedrooms as well
as a second home office study or an extra bedroom if required
served by a well appointed shower room.
Accessed either independently from the front of the house, or
internally from the entrance hall is a large three bedroom self
contained flat. Perfect for dependent relatives, spill over guest
family accommodation or a useful secondary income stream; either
via AirBnb or a longer term tenancy.
The flat comprises three double bedrooms, a sitting room, galley
kitchen and a shower room.
To the front of the flat are a serious of barrel ceilinged
storage vaults, along with space and plumbing for a utility
room.
Outside
No. 7 is screened from the road via a mature hedge and shallow
stone wall, with refurbished limestone pillars providing access to
an expanse of gravelled off street parking; enough for five or 6
cars along with a Tesla charge point.
A paved flagstone pathway leads to the front door, with gated
pedestrian access into the rear garden beyond.
South facing and deceptively spacious the garden is fully walled
and catches much of the day‘s sun; with pleached holly trees
providing privacy and shade, along with a mature apple tree and
wisteria climbing up the rear elevation of the house.
There is a generous level lawn, with mature borders and a fitted
children‘s tree house and climbing frame.
In addition there is a stand alone wooden summer house currently
dressed as a gym complete with power and light.
