An Elegant Four-Storey Victorian Home with Garden in Arlington Conservation Area

Description
Spread across four thoughtfully designed floors, this elegant semi-detached freehold home offers a flexible layout to suit a variety of lifestyles. It includes three bedrooms, a spacious kitchen-diner, a formal dining room, a generous double reception area and a rare sun filled garden.

On the raised ground floor, the dual aspect dining room is flooded with natural light through South and West facing sash windows, complete with shutters. Polished wooden floors and a marble fireplace enhance the room’s period charm. Towards the rear, a well-appointed eat-in kitchen creates a sociable and functional space, featuring a striking original ceiling from the 1840s with decorative coving and a ceiling rose.

The lower ground floor offers a double reception room that can be divided into two areas if needed. It includes built-in storage, a cosy wood-burning stove, and direct access to a private, South-West-facing garden. A family bathroom is also located on this level, alongside the benefit of additional street access via the garden.

The first floor hosts two generous double bedrooms, both benefitting from wider proportions due to the fanned layout of the plot. The principal bedroom enjoys two large South-West-facing sash windows overlooking the garden and surrounding tree lined streets, built-in wardrobes, and polished wooden floors. A second bathroom is also located here. On the second floor, a third bedroom offers a flexible space ideal for a study or children’s room.

Additional features include a private courtyard entrance offering external storage and added security, side access to the garden, double glazing throughout, original staircase and a wealth of original Victorian details throughout. There is also potential for further extension, subject to planning permission (STPP), with scope to convert the loft space.
