A beautifully positioned and well proportioned detached home in this prime city location.

Description

27 St. Marks Road is a very spacious and characterful detached Grade II Listed Victorian family home positioned on a sought-after no-through road. Situated in the heart of Widcombe, this wonderful property has the rare benefit of both a parking space and garage. Parking permits are also available for residents and visitors.

The property is entered at ground floor and is entered into a generous and well-proportioned entrance hall. At the front of the property is the family room with two beautiful sash windows and a fireplace. The rear reception room which is currently used as a sitting room could also be used as a further bedroom with a bathroom adjacent.

Stairs from the main hall lead down to the garden level which has a beautiful flagstone floor and backdoor with access to the garden. This hallway opens into the kitchen/breakfast room which features contemporary, curved cabinets with mosaic tiling, sash windows with wooden shutters and a wooden floor. There is plenty of room for a family breakfast table and appliances include a 6-burner gas hob, double electric oven and a fridge-freezer.

The dining room has plenty of space to accommodate a large dining table and there is a beautiful large stone fireplace and sash windows that look out to the vaulted passageway with natural daylight. There is a door that opens into a boot room with butler sink and storage area and further doors leading to a downstairs cloakroom and the vault area. There is also a plant/utility room that leads from the lower hallway. Finally, under the stairs there is a useful storage area which is currently being used as a home office.

On the first floor are three excellent size double bedrooms, all benefiting from tremendous views. There is a spacious family bathroom with a roll top contemporary claw-foot bath, a shower cubicle, twin hand-basins and WC.

Externally
A path lined with plants and shrubs leads from the entrance gate to the front door. There is a separate gate access from the driveway which joins this path. The drive has parking for one car and leads onto a garage.

The rear garden is level and an excellent size for such a central location, mainly laid to lawn with a patio area outside the backdoor and another seating area on the back fence line. Access to the rear garden from the outside is down steps to the side of the property or via the rear of the garage.
