A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity presents itself with this iconic Edwardian home, sitting on one of Quorn's most prestigious addresses. Situated on a corner plot spanning approximately 0.8 of an acre, this property offers a unique chance to embrace its original features while also providing the potential to re-configure or extend, subject to the necessary planning consents.
The Towers has been in the current ownership for over 50 years coming to the market for the first time in a generation. Upon arrival, the charm and character of this distinguished residence are immediately apparent. Noteworthy details dating back to 1905 such as the two octagonal/turret windows with window seats, further bay windows, ornate tiled flooring, commanding front door, and servants bell system, set the stage for the elegance that lies within.
Stepping through the porch into the grand entrance hall with high ceilings and original mosaic tiled flooring, one is greeted by a wide sweeping staircase that leads to the first floor. The three elegant reception rooms which radiate off the entrance hall include a drawing room featuring the striking octagonal bay window and original fireplace, a cosy sitting room again with a bay window and large picture window which enjoys views over the garden, and a formal dining room adorned with stripped wood flooring, a walk in bay window and fire surround.
The kitchen is equipped with a range of fitted units, a Britannia electric cooker, and plumbing for a dishwasher and washing machine. Adjacent to the kitchen, the breakfast room offers attractive views of the garden and gives access to a cold store scullery/work shop, boiler house, and pantry cupboard.
Additional conveniences on the ground floor include a utility room, understairs storage, and a cloakroom with a WC.
Ascending the ornate wood-panelled staircase, one arrives at the half landing which provides access to a bedroom/office that in turn leads through to a studio overlooking the rear garden.
Continuing up the staircase, one reaches a vast landing that continues the grandeur of the period and provides access to a wealth of first-floor accommodation.
The principal bedroom suite features the captivating octagonal bay window with fitted robes, while three additional bedrooms offer comfortable living spaces.
Two bathrooms on this floor boast distinctive features; one showcases an extravagant original art deco bathroom suite with arches, while the other features an original suite with a separate WC.
A door on the landing leads to a second staircase that grants access to an attic double bedroom, with a ladder providing entry to the spacious attic space beyond offering potential for conversion/further expansion subject to necessary consents.
Surrounded by mature hedging and trees, the property enjoys a sense of seclusion akin to a 'secret garden'. The sweeping gravel driveway, accessed from Chaveney Road, leads around to the front entrance and a double garage, accommodating ample parking space.
The rear garden is a delight, divided into various sections that make the most of the expansive outdoor space. These areas include a herb garden, vegetable garden, rockery, a Victorian-style greenhouse (in need of repair), an outdoor heated pool with a pumphouse, and a sweeping lawn area.
In summary, this remarkable Edwardian home offers a blend of timeless elegance, potential for customisation, and serene outdoor living spaces, all located in a highly sought-after Quorn location.
