Property Description

IN BRIEF

Set in a prime location in Southgate close to the centre, shops and tube station and mere moments from popular Ashmole Academy, this detached six bedroom house offers excellent value and provides a generous amount of flexible living space that’s ideal for large or multi-generational families.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Occupying a large corner plot at the entrance to a quiet cul-de-sac, this substantial three storey Arts & Craft style house has over 3,5252 sq ft of internal space. This includes a large open plan main living space, four further rooms a WC, utility and bathroom on the ground floor, five bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor, and one bedroom, a bathroom and a further reception room on the second floor.

The house also has plenty of outdoor space. It’s set back behind a paved front drive with parking for four cars, with a courtyard-style paved garden to the rear and a lawned side garden which is home to an outbuilding.

The hub of the home is the approximately 30ft by 20ft open plan kitchen/diner. With two windows and glazed double doors providing leafy garden views and opening onto the paved terrace, this extensive area is ideal for relaxing and entertaining. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped and has a door to a utility room and bathroom beyond.

Comprising two rooms connected by folding doors, the lounge areas extends more than 26ft from the front bay, with bespoke plantation shutters in the main living room, to the windows and double doors that open onto the garden in the rear lounge. The front living room has an attractive feature fireplace, whilst the rear room is a perfect cosy snug. The two remaining rooms on this floor are suited to a variety of uses such as a workspace or home gym – one was formerly an integral garage and retains garage doors in addition to a window to the side garden.

There are five bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor.

The second floor currently has the largest room arranged as a living room. Measuring a huge 20’9” by 17’11” and with high ceilings open to the eaves and double doors onto a terrace that runs the length of this floor, this is a standout space that would also make a fabulous main bedroom. The second bedroom on this floor is also a double and has doors to the terrace.

The property is in excellent condition throughout, with stylish, high-quality décor and tasteful contemporary fixtures and fittings. It is unusual in the wide range of options if offers, providing invaluable flexibility for large families, or anyone looking for discrete living spaces (for a nanny, granny, or grown-up children) within one large property. It also has easy connections to the rear and side gardens, making year-round practical and giving these spaces the feel of appealing and well-used outdoor rooms.
