DESCRIPTION

An elegant period home located within a private tree lined lane creating a semi-rural feel,

beautifully appointed and retaining a wealth of original features and character. A rare

find within the northern reaches of the city, this property is one of four believed to have

been built for the neices of George Hingston in c1896, amongst the original parkland of

their family estate, Delgany House. Comprised over two floors, this substantial family home

offers four receptions and five bedrooms, in addition it boasts large grounds including a

gravelled driveway and courtyard, enclosed rear garden and a further 'secret garden'.

This hidden 'villa', is entered under a glass veranda into a classically Victorian hallway with

a 'dog leg' staircase with wooden balustrade sweeping to the first floor with a large

window pouring natural light into the hallway and landing. Wooden panelled doors open

into the lounge, dining room and family room, each featuring ornate fireplaces and

decorative coving with wooden framed French doors opening into the surrounding

gardens. The kitchen/breakfast room has been recently modernised, now fitted with

bespoke 'Shaker' style cabinets and polished granite work surfaces, and features integral

appliances and space for a range oven recessed into an inglenook fireplace. A doorway

leads further into a newly refurbished tenement offering a separate utility, freezer room

and a complete wet room with shower and WC.

On the first floor, the landing opens into the five bedrooms via wooden panelled doors,

each room barring the fifth bedroom featuring an ornate fireplace and wooden sash

windows overlooking the surrounding area. The family bathroom has been completed with

a contemporary fitted suite enjoying bath with shower over and large pedestal sink. The

grounds of this property are truly unique, whilst the front offers ample parking for the

modern family and visiting guests, the level rear gardens are full of well stocked flower

beds, a lawn and sun terrace, yet there is more to find with a secret garden running the

width of the property and approx 135ft deep is found adjacent to the property, enclosed

by established trees and hedges, this level and laid to lawn garden is the perfect private

hidden getaway offering its owner endless ideas for use. The property is fitted with a

modern gas central heating system, and also benefits from a single garage found located

off a private courtyard at the rear.
