Description

Introducing a Unique and Handsome Home with Panoramic City Views.

Powell Property are thrilled to introduce this exceptional period residence to the market.

In recent years, this remarkable property underwent an extensive renovation, resulting in a complete restoration that honours its rich history and architectural significance. Every detail of the property was thoughtfully considered and meticulously executed. The renovation project aimed to revive the home's architectural integrity, while incorporating modern comforts and amenities. Originally constructed circa 1860-1880 and spanning four floors, the generous living space encompasses an impressive 2,245 square feet and provides a spacious and enviable home for its fortunate occupants.

The property boasts an A2 BER rating. Underfloor heating, from a Daikin geothermal air-to-water unit, is a feature throughout the property, with the exception of the hallway where period appropriate cast iron radiators are used.

As you approach, you'll immediately be captivated by the charm and character exuded by No.1 Westview. Set back from the street, the property is enveloped by its original wrought iron railings embellished with decorative finials atop and painted in a crisp white hue. Upon entering through the gate, you'll encounter a mature lawn running alongside the pathway, enhanced by natural limestone paving slabs.

The exterior of the home showcases beautifully restored cornicing, framing the windows and doors, which have been carefully brought back to their former glory. The faade is a testament to the property's timeless elegance and has been lovingly preserved, enhancing its overall beauty.
The entrance door is a true work of art, with an exquisitely reinstated stained-glass panel positioned above it. This stunning panel features the characters Caliban, Trinculo, and Stephano from Shakespeare's play, The Tempest, adding a touch of literary inspiration to the home.

Stepping inside, the grand hallway welcomes you with its restored geometric tiled floor, an exquisite nod to the home's heritage. The addition of classic cast iron radiators, handcrafted internal doors, joinery, and cornicing that matches the original design contributes to an elegant and welcoming Georgian foyer.

The sitting room, flooded with light from the canted bay sliding sash window, features a modern recessed fireplace and bespoke library shelving units, cleverly optimizing otherwise neglected wall space. A concealed glass sliding partition door leads to an additional living room, creating a flexible and open layout. This room also boasts a bespoke library unit and a recessed, state-of-the-art fireplace. The tactile and timeless solid oak parquet flooring draws the eye, adding to the aesthetic appeal of the living space.

Solid oak steps lead from the living room to the stylish kitchen, which serves as the heart of the home. With its vaulted ceiling and Velux windows, this area is bathed in natural light that beautifully illuminates the dense quartz worktops and glass cabinet doors. The hand-painted oak kitchen cabinets create a striking contrast against the reclaimed brick-effect feature wall, while the integrated appliances exemplify innovation in design.

Adjacent to the kitchen, a separate utility room provides additional fitted units, a quartz worktop, a brick splashback, and ample space for white goods. This area also encompasses a chic tiled guest bathroom, complete with a vanity unit and WC. Glass double doors off the kitchen open to a splendid, enclosed patio area, ideal for outdoor entertainment.

The private garage, accessible from the patio, offers convenient off-street parking.
The magnificent staircase leading to the upper levels of the property has been fully reclaimed, adding architectural interest and breathing life into the space.
