Grand Proportions and Period Details in a Victorian Villa

On a corner plot within the popular Queen’s Park Conservation Area stands a fantastic double-fronted late-Victorian house with countless original architectural features and generous interior spaces.

The grand house features many original elements like beautiful chimneypieces, ornate plasterwork, and casement windows. Even though not all rooms are decorated in this house, I still wanted to share this home because of its architectural beauty and grand Victorian spaces.

Wedding doors from the hall lead to the grand living room with a statuary marble chimneypiece in the Arts and Crafts style with an inset cast-iron grate as its centerpiece. A grand bay window with shutters floods the room with natural light.

The double reception rooms have windows in the front and the back and they can be closed off by another pair of wedding doors.

The back room is a dramatic red-painted space with a marble chimneypiece with fluted columns and a cast-iron insert. The shuttered glass-paned door with side lights opens to the rear garden.

On the other side of the hall lies another reception space that would work perfectly as a dining room as the kitchen is beyond. Another marble chimneypiece graces this room.

Glazed pocket doors lead via steps down to the kitchen with a large AGA stove set into the hearth. The room has wonderful exposed wooden beams and a classic checkerboard floor.

The central hall has beautiful patterned floor tiles and original features like tall ceilings, cornicing, and dado rails.

There are five bedrooms on the first floor, sadly not decorated, which share a small bathroom with marble tiles and a bath.

The house is listed for £3,500,000 at Inigo.
