Property description
Welcome to Leighton Road! A truly exceptional detached Victorian home dating back to the 1900s. Brimming with original charm and period features is this beautifully preserved property. Thoughtfully designed with generous proportions and abundant natural light, the home perfectly balances everyday comfort with timeless elegance. This impressive residence includes ample off-street parking and three spacious double bedrooms. From the moment you step into the entrance hall, you're greeted by high ceilings, intricate original coving, and a sense of grandeur that continues throughout. The lounge is a standout feature, showcasing a charming bay window, and more original detailing. Toward the rear of the property is a formal dining room and a kitchen which includes fitted appliances. A rear utility & family shower room adds functionality. Completing the ground floor is a bright and airy sun room - a perfect space for relaxing or entertaining.
Upstairs, the landing provides access to the loft and an airing cupboard. There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a luxurious master with bespoke bay storage. A recently upgraded three piece bathroom completes the accommodation. The rear garden is a true sanctuary for outdoor living. With well-established planting beds, a neatly maintained lawn, and a practical storage shed, it offers a perfect blend of beauty and function. At the front of the property, a paved driveway accommodates multiple vehicles. Rich in period detail yet designed for modern living, this distinguished Victorian residence offers a unique chance to enjoy character, comfort, and convenience in a sought-after location.
Location The property is ideally located only few minutes' walk from the Peartree Green Nature Reserve (0.6 miles), Woolston Train Station (0.5 miles) and short distance from the Woolston High Street (0.6 miles) and the Bitterne Precinct (5 minutes drive) which is home to an outstanding selection of local shops, cafés and amenities including Pure Gym, Sainsburys Supermarket, Superdrug, Iceland and Greggs. Exceptional schools are nearby including the Ludlow Junior and Infant School (0.2 mile), Woolston Infant School (0.8 miles) and St Patrick's Catholic Primary School (0.5 miles) which has been rated 'Good' by Ofsted.
