5 bedroom terraced house

10 Royal Park is a fabulous Victorian townhouse, arranged over four floors and providing comfortably over 2600 sq. ft of internal family accommodation; with an additional large (circa 600 sq. ft) loft area above.

Approached via a deep front garden with pillared off-street parking, shallow steps lead up to the front door, with a further set of steps leading down to the lower ground floor with its own separate entrance.

A handsome wooden front door opens into a useful entrance porch, with coir carpet and plenty of space for coats and boots. Double doors with part stained glass detailing open up into the entrance hall itself, with lovely retained period cornice work and wooden stairs to the upper floors.

Across the hall floor lie two superb reception rooms, as well as a separate study / play room. The front reception room is flooded with natural light from its south-east bay window, complete with double glazed triple sash windows. A carved wooden fireplace provides a central feature, with a working coal effect gas fire below, built in TV cabinet to the recess, ceiling plaster work and a central ceiling rose.

To the rear is an almost equally well-proportioned reception room overlooking the rear garden, again complete with a charming carved wooden fireplace, a pair of double glazed sash widows and retained ceiling plasterwork.

Adjacent to this room is a useful home office / study with a double glazed sash window and a cupboard housing the hot water tank.

From the entrance hall a part-glazed pine door leads down to the lower ground floor, with a useful hallway leading from the bottom of the stairs to the entrance vestibule which can be accessed separately from the front. This is great for shopping, kids, wet dogs etc to come straight into the lower ground floor from the front – complete with a small covered storage area for bikes etc.

The lower ground floor itself is almost fully open plan – with just a separate shower room (perfect after those wet walks / bike rides) complete with an enclosed shower cubicle, w.c and wash basin. This is also finished with utilities for a washing machine and dryer.

To the front of the lower ground floor is a generous dining space, with a double glazed bay window overlooking the front courtyard, and a recessed hearth – a perfect space for a wood burning stove. To the rear is a well-appointed kitchen complete with a recessed Rangemaster cooker, central island, twin Belfast sinks, an expanse of work surfaces and a range of floor and wall mounted storage cupboards. There are also double glazed French doors leading out to the rear courtyard garden.

Over the top two floors lie five versatile bedrooms; with two bedroom suites on the first floor and three bedrooms and a family bathroom above.

Across the first floor, both double bedrooms benefit from en-suite facilities; with an en-suite shower room to the front and an en-suite bathroom (with a contemporary claw & ball foot bath) to the rear. There is a also a double set of built in wardrobes to the rear bedroom, whilst the front bedroom enjoys a light filled triple sash bay window and an attractive outlook towards Kensington Place.

Across the top floor are two further generous double bedrooms - each with a stripped wooden floor and period cast iron fireplace; with a smaller third bedroom providing a perfect nursery / extra study space if required.

These bedrooms share a well-appointed family shower room with an oversize walk-in shower cubicle, low level w.c, wash basin and an opaque double glazed sash window.

Like the rest of the house, all of the sash windows in the bedrooms and bath / shower rooms are double glazed.

Accessed from the landing (via a hatch and ladder) is a sumptuous loft space which, subject to consent, could be converted to provide further accommodation. 

Outside:

To the front of the house is pillared off-street parking for one to two cars, with a wooden fence and pedestrian gate leading up to the front path. The front garden itself is sensitively landscaped and catches much of the day's sun, with stairs leading down to the lower ground floor.

To the rear is a decked wooden terrace accessed from the kitchen via a paved courtyard, as well as pedestrian access from a secured lane (“residents only access”) accessed from the side of Royal Park.
