5 bedroom detached house for sale

Simpson & Partners are privileged to present this exceptional detached Edwardian residence. Built in 1901 it stands as testament to the architectural grandeur of the early 20th century, an era renowned for unparalleled craftsmanship. This remarkable property is a quintessential example of Edwardian architecture and the exterior is a captivating blend of red brick, striking gable roofs, and Mock-Tudor detailing.

To the front of the property leaded light designs borrowed from the Arts and Crafts movement sit atop period sash windows beautifully set into imposing bays, where purposefully designed stone mullions help bathe the interior with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

To the side of the property a grand stone porch in the Georgian style is crowned by an ornate curved bow window, again set in stone mullions but unusually formed by 3 vertical glass panels. Below the porch double doors in a style typical of the period are complimented by an ornate brass bell press. Beyond them you will find the spacious Edwardian hallway, where an open staircase is a notable departure from its more compact Victorian predecessors, and which welcomes you with a sense of airy elegance.

The Edwardians placed great value on privacy, so houses were built a short distance back from walkways and within a large plot providing a substantial garden. The garden was an extension of the home's grandeur, they were designed to be enjoyed from within the house as much as outside and to offer respite and leisure, reflecting the Edwardian era's emphasis on comfort and refined living.

This Edwardian masterpiece offers the perfect blend of period charm and modern comfort. With its solid construction, grand scale, elegant proportions, exquisite craftsmanship, delightful architectural details and potential for modern updates this home is a rare find.

To fully appreciate the allure of this exceptional property, we invite you to arrange a viewing.
