Description

Set on a pivotal corner position of Kenilworth Square West, No.27 is one of a unique pair of striking detached red-brick, double-fronted Victorian homes that blends historical charm with modern family living. The current family themselves have been custodians for the past forty years. Built in c.1854, this elegant home is arranged over two floors and offers an unbeatable combination of convenience, character, and living complimented by generous gardens front and rear. The property exudes period grandeur from the granite steps and stucco portico entrance to the front flanked by ornate dragon corbels, not to mention the generously proportioned rooms with soaring ceilings, intricate ceiling roses, and ornate fireplaces. Accommodation at ground floor level includes interconnecting drawing and dining rooms ideal for entertaining, a large living room, study, utility/playroom, guest WC and kitchen/breakfast room. Rising upstairs, three double bedrooms (master - ensuite), two single bedrooms, a well-appointed family bathroom and a WC on the first-floor return completes the accommodation. Set well back from the road behind red brick walls with granite capping and vehicular gates, the front garden enjoys an easterly aspect overlooking the square and boasts ample off-street parking for several cars. The rear garden is an enchanting retreat bursting with mature shrubs and trees, drenched in westerly sun and also has vehicular gates to Kenilworth Road.
