SUPERB FIVE BEDROOM EDWARDIAN PERIOD HOME Savills is delighted to present Arden, a magnificent Edwardian residence built in 1903, offering a blend of timeless elegance, period charm, and modern convenience. This stunning five-bedroom detached home, approximately 227.5 sq m in size, sits on about 0.44 acres of landscaped grounds, ensuring privacy in a prime city location. From the moment you arrive, Arden captivates with its red brick and stone detailing, intricate period features, and an exquisite wraparound veranda. Thoughtfully updated, the property underwent a substantial extension in 1980 & 2000, adding a spacious new kitchen, bright conservatory, guest WC, and pantry/utility room. A generously proportioned garage was also constructed for additional storage. More recently, in 2021, the roof was refurbished, and the house was fully rewired for peace of mind. A private, gated entrance off College Road leads to a long, tarmacadam driveway, gracefully lined with mature trees. The beautifully maintained gardens boast an impressive selection of trees, including Scots Pines, alongside lush hedging, vibrant shrubs, and seasonal flower beds. Internally, Arden is spacious, bright, and well-proportioned. The entrance hall leads to the main living accommodation. The sitting room features a fantastic pink period fireplace and a large bay window with blue-tinted glass, filling the space with natural light. Double doors connect to the formal dining room, ideal for entertaining. The living room, overlooking the gardens, enjoys a westerly aspect with tranquil views. The kitchen is a chef' s dream, complete with quality appliances and a warm Aga range. The ground floor also includes a utility room and guest WC. Ascending the staircase, a light-filled landing and library area welcome you. The first floor hosts four spacious double bedrooms (one en-suite). There is also an additional single bedroom, ideal for conversion to study or dressing room, and a luxurious main bathroom.
