Good Life Homes are delighted to bring to the market a rare opportunity to acquire one of the finest homes in the City in the prime “Beresford Park” located just off Thornholme Road on the edge of the city centre comprised of mostly individually designed homes built in the 1920’s and 30’s for the city’s wealthiest families. This particular home, formerly occupied by the Joseph family of the eponymous famous toy store, is a stunning mansion set in around 1/4 of an acre of landscaped grounds behind a high wall and fence and accessed via an electric gate for maximum privacy. A grand period entrance hall welcomes you into this gorgeous home and sets the tone of what’s to come.

A further lounge offers a quiet retreat and a formal dining room provides not only sufficient space for formal dining and dinner parties but also a lounge area with pleasant views and attractive windows. The kitchen is particularly impressive with bespoke units, central island and granite work-surfaces with a central range cooker, 2 sinks and some integrated appliances. Also on the ground floor is a stylish cloakroom with sympathetic period features.
On the first floor there are 5 generous bedrooms, an en suite and a fabulous main bathroom with quality fittings.
Painstakingly presented with style and an attention to detail, the current owners have created a wonderful family home of the highest quality and viewing is unreservedly recommended.
