Description:

121 Queen Ediths Way is a unique and unusual detached edge- city property in a hugely popular residential location with excellent access to the city centre, commuter links, the hospital and schooling. It has been the much-loved home for the family for many years, having been extended in the past of the owner’s own designs. The original part of the house dates back to the 1920s and additions include circular glazed bays to the front and a corresponding circular dining/part room with a table that sinks into the floor at the back of the house. There are three other reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfast room with doors opening to the terrace and plenty of space for food preparation, cooking, entertaining etc. There is also a cloakroom/separate WC and a quirky shower room on the ground floor. On the first floor are five bedrooms including a principal suite with fitted wardrobes and en-suite shower room. There are two further bathrooms on this floor.

The property offers characterful and appealing accommodation of over 3330sqft with excellent levels of natural light and attractive period features. It is the ideal family home to which one could add ones’ own touches.

The property is set back nicely from the road, screened by mature hedging, shrubs and trees. There is ample off-street parking for a number of cars with vehicular, wrought iron gates leading back to the detached garage. The garage block is a substantial detached outbuilding with double doors to the garage and exterior stairs leading up to a door at the rear opening to the useful storage/studio space above. The gardens are delightfully secluded and mainly laid to lawn mature with a variety of mature shrubs and trees along with a covered terrace to the back of the house, ideal for al-fresco dining and entertaining. There are utility areas at the end of garden with covered wood-stores, compost areas and storage for garden machinery etc.
