Gloucester Place

THE PROPERTY:

Few Victorian terraces manage strike the appeal of a cottage paired with the scale and light more usually associated with a town house.

Beyond a practical 'airlock' entrance, the living room forms the heart of the ground floor, its raised hearth and exposed stone chimneypiece. Plantation shutters soften the light from the front elevation. An inner hall opens to a cloakroom — a genuine rarity in a property of this age, and a practical boon across three floors

The kitchen has been fitted with a contemporary run of units and integrated twin ovens, fridge freezer and washing machine, arranged for a household that cooks properly rather than merely reheats.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom retains a mellow brick chimney breast and former fireplace, lending authentic period substance to the room. Two further bedrooms occupy the top floor, one benefiting from a dormer window that adds both headroom and character, while a roof light above the stairwell draws daylight down through the centre of the house. The bathroom is generously arranged, with a deep panelled bath, central mixer tap and a large separate shower cubicle.

Outside, a riven stone terrace sits near the kitchen, the natural setting for outdoor entertaining, before the garden opens into lawn and runs back to a weatherproof shed at its far end. A right of way along the rear — common to this style of Victorian terrace — provides useful pedestrian access to the street..

The house is offered with the considerable advantage of an end-of-chain sale, allowing a buyer to proceed without the usual delay.

AGENT'S NOTE- The property does not own any parking, but there is nearby onstreet parking.

What the seller says:

"I’ve lived in Gloucester Place for almost three and a half years, and the only reason I’m moving is to relocate with my partner to his hometown of Derby. Otherwise, I genuinely can’t imagine leaving.
What makes this home so special is the rare combination of peace and tranquillity while being right in the heart of town. It has been my sanctuary, a place that stays beautifully cool in summer and warm and cosy through the winter months.
Gloucester Place itself is truly unique. With its charming setting, it feels almost like something from a storybook. The neighbours are incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a genuine sense of community, whether it's Christmas carols during the festive season or gathering for a G&T in the gardens on a sunny evening.
This is more than just a house, it’s a home surrounded by a wonderful community, and I hope its next owner finds as much happiness here as I have."
