The property

Set on one of Fiveways' most sought-after roads, this exceptional four-bedroom Victorian home has been beautifully extended and refurbished, combining timeless period charm with a clean, contemporary finish.

Waldegrave Road is known for its community feel and handsome architecture, and this elegant property is no exception. Behind the classic bay-fronted façade, a traditional entrance hall greets you with original coving and period detailing that sets the tone for what’s to come.

At the front of the house, the through living room offers a stylish yet cosy space to unwind, complete with a cast iron fireplace, bespoke built-in cabinetry, and a large bay window that fills the room with natural light.

To the rear, the heart of the home is the extended kitchen and dining space which is bright, spacious, and thoughtfully designed for modern family life. Skylights and full-width bi-fold doors flood the room with light and create a seamless connection to the garden. High-gloss cabinetry, granite worktops, integrated appliances, and a central island come together to make a kitchen that's as practical as it is beautiful. A ground floor WC adds convenience.

Upstairs, the first floor has three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with bay window, period fireplace, and fitted storage. A stylish, modern bathroom with clean lines and quality finishes serves this level.

At the top of the house, the fourth bedroom is tucked away and serves as an ideal guest suite, teenager’s retreat or home office, with lovely rooftop views across the city.

The rear garden has been smartly landscaped to create zones for relaxing and play, with a paved terrace for al fresco dining, a low-maintenance artificial lawn, and a raised flower bed bringing a welcome splash of green.
