7 Leigh Road is an outstanding family home; centrally located
between Pembroke Road and Whiteladies Road with a walled rear
garden, expanse of off street parking and circa 3500 sq. ft of
accommodation providing hugely versatile accommodation over just
three floors.
Approached from the road via a full width expanse of off street
parking, a path leads from a pillared entrance gate to the front
door.
On opening, there is a useful porch, with a further rear door
leading directly out into the garden. This is perfect for
children‘s parties and weekend BBQ‘s etc as guests can come
straight through, leaving the main side front door locked for
safety.
Through the main side front door is a beautiful entrance hall,
with its retained tessellated floor and elegant sweeping turned
balustrade staircase leading to the first floor. To the rear of the
hall is a guest cloakroom with a w.c and wash basin, complete with
double wardrobes for storing coats and shoes.
Arranged to the front of the house are two versatile reception
rooms; a fabulous bay fronted sitting room with a marble fireplace
and exposed hearth below, along with three shuttered sash windows,
ceiling plasterwork and a stripped wooden floor. Adjacent is a
second reception room, currently dressed as a dining room and again
enjoying a shuttered sash window, stripped wooden floor and period
fireplace.
To the rear, shallow steps lead down to the fitted home office,
with bespoke cabinetry including lots of storage and a pull down
fold away desk. A perfect home office.
Via glazed French doors, this leads out into the beautiful oak
framed garden room complete with living roof flooding the room with
natural light and double glazed French doors opening into the
garden. A truly sociable space for the whole family to
enjoy.
From here, as well as from the entrance hall, is access into the
stunning kitchen breakfast room. This has been meticulously made
with an expanse of fitted storage, a bespoke central island with
prep sink, a gas fired AGA with electric summer module and an
expanse of matt black granite worktops. Integrated appliances
include a Sub Zero fridge and freezer and a Fisher and Paykel
double dishwasher; whilst there is room within the bay, overlooking
the garden, for a breakfast table and chairs.
Upstairs, across the first floor, lie three double bedrooms
whilst accessed from the two half landings lie two further double
bedrooms.
The master bedroom is a fabulous size and finished with a walk
in wardrobe and en suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are
served by a well appointed family bath and shower room.
There is also access from the top bedroom to a further walk in
wardrobe which itself gives access to a generous loft
space.
From the entrance hall, stairs lead down to a versatile lower
ground floor, complete with a double bedroom, cinema family room,
fitted bathroom and kitchenette; complete with sink, dishwasher,
integrated fridge, washing machine and dryer. A great spot for
guests, grown up children or an au pair.
To the rear is an unconverted cellar workshop. Perfect for
storing bikes, sports, garden and camping equipment whilst also
benefitting from rear access. This currently houses the hot water
tank and boiler too but, given its own independent access, could
provide the option of a lower ground floor self contained annex if
desired; subject to consent.
Outside
The rear garden is a delight; beautifully landscaped into
various family zones including a lawn, covered pergola and a dining
terrace all finished with outdoor lighting, a pond and a side path
leading to from the entrance porch.
Fully walled it catches much of the day‘s sun providing a safe
and peaceful enclave for families of all sizes and age to
enjoy.
To the front is generous off street parking for several cars,
with the option to block in an additional space or two at the
front.
Residents and further visitors parking permits are available
within the Clifton East Residents Parking Zone.
