A substantial three-storey Victorian home offering five double bedrooms, two bathrooms, three reception rooms and a large cellar with full head height.

A substantial three storey Victorian villa located on Springfield Road, positioned on the border of the ever-popular Stoneygate and Clarendon Park.

Offering over 2,000 square feet of accommodation across four floors, including a usable cellar and five generous bedrooms, this characterful home presents an exceptional opportunity for full modernisation, with immense potential to restore or reconfigure into a spacious family home.

The traditional red brick façade with original detailing and bay windows sets the tone for the scale and charm within. A tiled path leads to a recessed storm porch and front entrance, opening into a wide hallway that provides access to the main reception spaces. The front living room is bright and well-proportioned with a walk-in bay window and high ceilings, retaining original cornicing and a decorative fireplace. At the rear, a separate dining room overlooks the courtyard garden and provides access into the extended kitchen and breakfast room. This space is generous in footprint, with high ceilings, dual aspect windows, and a door leading to the garden, but now requires refitting and renovation. A rear lobby connects to a ground floor WC and rear access to the outside.

On the first floor are three double bedrooms, all well sized and filled with natural light. The principal bedroom to the front spans the full width of the property with stripped wooden floors and built in wardrobes. The adjacent bedrooms share a family bathroom fitted with a bath and pedestal basin, and a separate WC. The second floor offers two further double bedrooms with full ceiling height, making it ideal for a large family or potential home working space. There is also a second bathroom on this floor with a shower cubicle, basin, and WC.

The property also benefits from a large basement with full head height, accessed via the hallway. This area offers flexible scope for storage, a utility room, or conversion (subject to necessary consents).

Externally, there is a hard landscaped courtyard to the immediate rear and a longer paved section leading to a lawned garden bordered by mature shrubs and fencing. This property boasts an attractive frontage set behind low level brick walling and wrought iron gate with slatted decoration and a slabbed pathway leading to the entrance door. On road parking is available on surrounding streets.
