Why you’ll like it:
Attractive on the approach, this semi-detached Victorian villa sits well back from the road with an immaculate façade in buttercream-white, adorned with the architectural features of the period. Elevated on the top floor, the southerly aspect allows plenty of natural light to stream through the property through gabled dormer windows looking out over mature trees lining the road. It is incredibly peaceful for somewhere so close to the city centre.

From the neat communal ways, stairs rise to your floor where stepping inside, it is clearly a beautifully maintained home with a stylish décor. The living room and kitchen are open plan, cleverly zoned with a central island breakfast bar, where soft carpet in the living room makes way for Moroccan patterned floor tiles in the kitchen. Well-designed for the space, the kitchen provides a wealth of storage in streamlined cabinetry alongside an integrated fan oven and electric hob, leaving space for a freestanding washing machine, fridge and freezer which sit concealed below the island.

Across from the kitchen, there is ample space for comfortable furnishings from which to enjoy the views to the south and east, looking out over the rooflines of the homes opposite towards the city centre.

Nearby, the bedroom is a lovely double room with space for a desk for working from home, alongside a double bed. There is a vast amount of built-in storage for clothes, both inside the room within the eaves, but also just outside the door within the hallway, so there is no need for freestanding wardrobes. These can also house linen and towels for the bathroom next door which is classic in white with a shower over the bath and a vanity unit for toiletries.
