First time on the market in almost half a century, this beautiful, early Victorian, Georgian style five-bedroom home, sympathetically extended over the years, with lovely gardens, garage and workshop is nestled in the heart of Stone Allerton.

Tastefully decorated throughout in a neutral palette, complemented by oak and glass, Osborne House is a stunning example of blending period character with contemporary style and comforts. From the well-proportioned reception rooms at the front of the house with their sash windows, to the fabulous oak and glass garden room at the rear with French doors to the garden, the property effortlessly spans the centuries creating a warm and welcoming home behind its elegant façade.

Two original reception rooms and part of the original hallway have been thoughtfully opened up to create a spacious sitting room with a feature fireplace. A second reception room, also at the front of the house, is currently used as an office. A Victorian kitchen extension at the rear of the property has been more recently extended again to create a lovely open plan space including a ‘snug’ area with comfortable seating, a fireplace with log burning stove, and a dining area at one end, and a contemporary kitchen at the other which opens out to the garden room. The kitchen is fitted with a sleek range of wall and base units, with a range style cooker with induction hob, and integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is plenty of storage in the kitchen and in the adjoining utility room, where there is also space and plumbing for other appliances. The kitchen is open to the stunning, vaulted, oak and glass garden room which was added in 2018, with French doors opening on two sides to the garden, and an impressive lantern light roof. This room is not only the perfect haven to sit and relax, but also offers plenty of space for entertaining and socialising. The five double bedrooms are upstairs, each with their own unique style and charm. The principal bedroom suite is a more modern extension over the garage. This vaulted room, with Douglas Fir beams, spans the property from the traditional sash window at the front to French doors to a balcony at the back. The room includes a large ensuite bathroom, a bank of fitted wardrobes and an adjoining dressing room and storage area. The two further double bedrooms, one with built-in storage, at the front of the house retain more of the Georgian character suggested by the façade. They are light, spacious and well-proportioned. They share a family bathroom with two smaller double bedrooms. Stairs rise up to the loft room which, although dissected by roof trusses, is currently hobby room and benefits from ample built-in storage around the sides with useful worksurfaces, a desk space, and has plenty of natural light from low level Velux windows. Extra storage can be found in the eaves.

Set back from the lane behind mature flowerbeds, shrubs and trees, the property is approached via two separate driveways, one providing parking and access to the garage and entrance porch, the other providing access to the rear garden and stone-built workshop. This versatile outbuilding provides space not only for a workshop but could be converted (subject to relevant consents) into anything from an artist’s studio, to a music room, den, home office or perhaps a therapy room. The private rear gardens stretch out from the back of the house, landscaped and mainly laid to lawn with thoughtfully designed seating areas to make the most of the sun. The kitchen garden is hidden from view behind tall hedging, and is an exciting surprise for the green fingered, with raised beds, a substantial greenhouse and a garden shed.
