Description

This is the most appealing family-sized mid-Victorian house arranged over 5 floors. The south facing garden and particularly the garden floor with its fantastic fitted kitchen and day space is a real attraction. The more formal living space on the raised ground floor can be used as one room or separated by the double dividing doors. The upper floors offer generous bedrooms with a large family bathroom, a further shower room and a separate WC. The bedroom on the first-floor rear has a super terrace that has views over the rear garden and the gardens in Aberdeen Park. The house has been a much-loved family home for the current owners for the last 30 years. It has been well maintained. There are many period features such as fireplaces and ceiling mouldings and is in excellent decorative order throughout.

This is a terrific family home – one that a young family can grow in throughout the different phases of modern life.
