Description

130 Upper Grosvenor Road is an attractive semi-detached Victorian town house arranged over four floors. The well-proportioned accommodation benefits from a flexible layout well suited to the varied requirements of modern family living.

On entering, the property welcomes you with classical period features including high ceilings, decorative coving, ceiling roses, dado rails, picture rails, and exposed oak floorboards. The sitting room, filled with light from the bay window to the front, features a beautiful marble open fireplace with a tiled hearth. The good-sized snug has a beautiful interior feature window looking through to the kitchen and beyond into the garden. To the rear of the property is the spacious kitchen/dining room, which has been fabulously extended by the current owners to incorporate a family dining area with Velux windows above creating a bright and airy space. The kitchen is fitted with sleek matt cabinets, a chunky oak worksurface and integrated appliances including a dishwasher and microwave. The large breakfast island has a double Belfast sink and spaciously seats three. The cellar can be accessed from the kitchen and is split into three useful sections. There is also the option, subject to relevant planning permission and requirements, to knock through to a further section of the cellar to create a larger space for further accommodation. This option also applies to the loft, which can be accessed directly from the fourth bedroom on the top floor.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is located at the front of the property and boasts a large bay window fitted with wooden shutters and a traditional cast iron fireplace with a granite surround. There are two further double bedrooms on this floor, one with fitted wardrobes, whilst the final bedroom is located on the top floor with full-length windows opening to the garden. The family bathroom has a wash basin, wc, a glorious free-standing bath and is decorated with neutral panelling and a striking navy wall. A shower room, with a decorative tiled floor and slimline wc and sink basin complete the accommodation.

To the rear, an Indian sandstone terrace with bespoke oak seating is accessible from the kitchen/dining room via bi-fold doors. Steps lead down to a split-level patio area perfect for sun loungers;- and continue to a level area of lawn with a sunken trampoline. A secondary paved area at the bottom of the garden offers a further entertaining space, whilst a gate allows access to a storage area with a lean-to cover.

The front garden offers off-street parking for two cars whilst a contemporary fence with bin storage creates a boundary with the adjoining property. A gate to the side provides access to the garden and further storage area.
