Property description

Set back beyond traditionally styled, terraced gardens and built as a statement home in 1879 by pharmaceutical magnate Markham Cook, Russell Villa is a stunning Italianate semi detached villa with separate coach house which offers superbly proportioned and flexible five bedroom family accommodation. Situated within the ever popular conservation area adjacent to the Peoples Park, the distinctive façade with its central tower offers an impressive welcome. 

Russell Villa has evolved over time: the retention of deep sash windows, striking fireplaces and ornate moulding supplements the superb proportions and enhance the recent refurbishments to create a home suited to modern family life. The formal bay fronted drawing room and separate dining room are balanced by the more relaxed summer room and play room which have access to the private \"Mediterranean\" style courtyard.

The traditional master bedroom is complemented by a suite of three bedrooms and a shower room which are considered ideal as a self contained independent apartment. The tower room study is reflected in the quiet seating area on the main landing. 
Versatility is again evident in the two storey detached former coach house which is currently used as garaging with a first floor games room but is considered ideal as a bespoke work space, studio or further self contained accommodation. 

Russell Villa is a home that combines superb social spaces with areas suited to quiet contemplation: a home where traditional proportion and balance provide the flexibility demanded by modern living.

Russell Villa – styled for living.
