Built in 1864, Saint Clair Villa benefits from lovely period detailing with bay windows, high ceilings and cast-iron fireplaces. Yet this traditional character has been very successfully married to the desirable open-plan and malleable living space and conveniences to satisfy the demands of the modern family.  

Located in the heart of popular Whitecross, the villa benefits from being walking distance to numerous amenities including family butchers, newsagents, 2 convenience stores and supermarkets. As well as lying in the catchment for Whitecross Academy – High School and Specialist Sports College.

The Property

Stepping through the front door, lies a bright Hallway with brick-style stone tile flooring and wooden staircase is in the rich hue that harmonises much of the timber and original wood flooring of this charming home. A half-glazed door leads into the lovely Sitting Room with its large bay window and features a real working open fire with cast-iron fireplace atop black granite hearth. 

The original wooden flooring extends into the adjacent Family/Dining room. The open plan aspect of this space ensures it is a highly malleable space for many family requirements, made cosy by the gas fire in period style fireplace with wooden mantel surround.  

An arched doorway leads into the large Kitchen, fully fitted in dark wood units with black laminate granite-effect countertops, pleasingly echoed in the large central island of black high-gloss units with solid wood countertop. Integrated are double oven, 5 burner gas hob with extractor hood, under-counter fridge, dishwasher and stainless steel round sink with matching separate drainer. There is an external glazed door to the side and double patio doors at the end lead out onto the private patio and up to the rear garden. 

To one side lies a Utility room with space for washing machine, dryer and fridge freezer and also houses the gas boiler. Opposite is the Downstairs Wet Room, featuring shower, chrome heated towel rail, WC and basin.

A discreet door under the staircase, leads down into the Useable Cellar Room, an exciting space with exposed brick alcove and laminate wood flooring. The Cellar benefits not only from full insulation and heating but is also plumbed. Thus this space offers a myriad of opportunities for family members making an excellent Home Office, Teenage Rumpus Room or Hobby Room. However enjoying its own external access via frosted glazed door to the front garden, rather than requiring access through the home, offers yet further possibilities for business ventures. 

Upstairs the first Bedroom is a great size and features a bay window with, for an urban location, unexpectedly lovely views across to mature trees. It retains both original wooden flooring and a cast-iron fireplace which to either side feature built-in wardrobes.

The second Double Bedroom also has a cast-iron fireplace and built-in double wardrobe to one side and full height cupboard to the other. Along with the Single Bedroom next door, it is carpeted and enjoys views over the rear garden.

The Family Bathroom is fully tiled with a full bath with glass partition for the wall-mounted shower and is completed by WC, basin and chrome heated towel rail. 

The landing offers access through the loft hatch to the boarded-out roof storage.         

Outside

A red brick half wall topped by wrought iron railings enclose the paved front garden with steps both up to the front door and down to the Cellar door. The rear garden is fenced, while beyond the paved patio ideal for Outdoor Dining, is a flat lawn, with both a Shed and pergola lying at the far end.
