Property description

A handsome 5 bedroom detached Edwardian residence built in 1903, centrally situated within the exclusive Silverdale Conservation area, just a moments walk from the mainline railway station. The property occupies a south facing plot of 0.51 acres and extends to 3791 sq feet.

This elegant family house is arranged over 2 floors and with the large beautifully arranged gardens provides a haven of tranquility within easy access of the town centre. Over the past 20 years the current owners have updated and improved the property to include high specification sanitary ware, whilst ensuring the property retains its original character.

The accommodation includes a wide covered porch with a patterned tiled floor and panelled front door with coloured glass insets.  The impressive entrance hall has a staircase to the first floor with a polished carved wooden balustrade.  To one side of the entrance hall facing the front is a bay fronted drawing room with a fireplace with a gas fire, inset marble and oak surround.  To the other side of the hall and also facing the front is a bay fronted dining room with an open fireplace with an ornate marble surround.  A study is situated behind the dining room with views over the rear garden.

The remainder of the accommodation is situated to the rear of the property divided by an inner hallway with a cloakroom leading from it.  The breakfast room has double doors leading out to the rear garden and an archway to the kitchen which is fitted with hand built cupboards and integrated appliances to include a ‘De Dietrich’ electric hob, a ‘De Dietrich’ double oven with warming tray, a fridge (all new in 2011) and a dishwasher.  The large utility room has a door to the rear garden, access to a shower room and a door to the family room which also has double doors leading out to the rear garden.  A rear lobby provides access to a small courtyard and leads to the pantry which is well fitted with an inset stainless steel sink set into marble worksurface.  This room leads into the airconditioned double garage.

NB. The planning permission that exists, involves a small extension and then the re-configuration of the kitchen, utility room and family room to create a much larger kitchen/family room (Ref:DM/15/1375).
