A testament to Victorian architecture, this three bedroom house has been designed for effortless living and is set in a leafy position in the heart of Stoneygate on the highly sought after Elms Road. Ideally situated to enjoy the green spaces of Knighton Park and nearby Victoria Park, the house is only a 10 minute walk from Allandale Road, where a variety of independent bars, restaurants, and coffee shops can be found. Inside, carefully considered contemporary touches create a warm and peaceful atmosphere, while original features remain intact, adding character through picture rails, stripped timber flooring, and cast iron fireplaces. The house is part of a handsome terrace, each home distinguished by broad bay windows.

With immediate kerb appeal, the forecourt garden is adorned with established shrubbery, and a paved walkway leads to the entrance. Upon entering, a welcoming hallway with geometric Victorian inspired tiling provides dual access to two reception rooms and the open plan breakfast kitchen. The principal reception room is a serene space with a wonderful sense of scale, defined by high ceilings, stripped timber floorboards, and an expansive single glazed bay window at the front. Modernised with the addition of electric blinds powered by Tuiss, yet without losing its period charm, the room features a log burner as a striking centrepiece, complemented by a sophisticated off grey Farrow and Ball colour palette. Towards the rear, the ground floor opens to a beautifully designed, bespoke open plan breakfast kitchen and separate dining area, which enjoys morning light from the east facing rear garden through French timber doors. Engineered oak floors are laid in a smart pattern, with a large open stone surround fire serving as a stylish focal point. The breakfast kitchen is well equipped with a range of integrated appliances to include a fridge freezer, induction hob, oven, dish washer, Bosch microwave and finished in a light blue colour scheme that harmonises with the oak surfaces and neutral off white tones of the dining area. A conveniently located utility room, currently used as a downstairs fourth bedroom, completes the ground floor and can be easily adapted to suit the needs of the next owner.

A stripped timber staircase leads to an exceptionally spacious landing that opens onto three double bedrooms, all serviced by a modern, fitted three piece family bathroom. Each bedroom benefits from a Farrow and Ball inspired colour palette, original sash windows and picture rails, with two of the rooms featuring original cast iron fireplaces and fitted wardrobes. All three bedrooms are beautifully presented and offer ample space for essential furnishings. The accommodation is completed by a stylish three piece family bathroom. We are informed the loft is both insulated, boarded and benefits from a velux skylight. Through necessary consents, the space here could be altered to extend the existing home.

Outside, the private and well established east facing rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped into distinct zones, with three separate patio areas two paved and one featuring decorative stone. Mature borders and shrubbery provide excellent privacy from neighbouring properties, and an additional brick outbuilding houses the washing machine, tumble dryer, and a separate WC. Readily available on road parking can be found directly outside the property and neighbouring streets.
