"A sensational late Georgian home that is superbly presented and located in the heart of St. Leonards, with close proximity to Magdalen Road amenities.

Description

Dating back to circa 1835, 4 Park Place is an elegant semi detached townhouse nestled in the sought after St. Leonards conservation area. Offering a tranquil setting with the convenience of nearby amenities on Magdalen Road, this immaculately presented home has been extensively renovated by the current owners in 2021.

Extending to approximately 1,792 sq ft across three floors, the house blends period charm with modern comforts. The property is approached via a wrought iron gate leading through an enclosed front garden to the entrance porch. Stepping inside, the reception entrance enjoys natural light from an overhead skylight, with a welcoming tiled floor that leads to an inner hallway with the staircase rising to the upper floors. The three main reception rooms are linked by a very well presented hard wood floor. The front facing sitting room, bathed in natural light from its south east orientation, features two pairs of French doors opening to the garden and a charming gas fire. Adjacent, the dining room provides a versatile space, also benefiting from French doors leading to the rear garden.

The magnificent contemporary kitchen extends to the rear of the house to the breakfast room, creating a very sociable heart of the home. Thoughtfully designed to a high specification, the kitchen offers ample storage space, Smeg appliances, a double Belfast sink, a six ring gas hob, and a useful pantry store. The breakfast room enjoys French doors open directly onto the rear garden, and is equally bathed in sunlight from a feature skylight above. The ground floor is completed by a WC cloakroom located from the entrance hall.

The first floor hosts two spacious double bedrooms, with a principal bedroom to the front that includes ample wardrobe storage, and a second bedroom with an aspect over the rear garden and also with wardrobe storage. The family bathroom is superbly presented and features a bath, sink unit, WC and bidet, and again plenty of storage space and a utility cupboard. The second floor provides two further bedrooms served by an additional shower room. The second floor also benefits from ample eaves storage to the front and rear.

Outside, both the front and rear gardens are enclosed and thoughtfully redesigned. The paved front garden is very welcoming and well presented with a raised boarder and mature planted shrub borders. There is also useful bin and bike storage to the front. The rear patio garden is a delightful suntrap that is fully decked with raised beds and wall trellising. Enjoying afternoon and evening sunshine, and easily accessed from the house, it provides an ideal spot for alfresco dining.
