Description
21 St Marys Road was built in circa 1906 and captures the essence of the Arts and Crafts movement which was prevalent at the time. The front elevation certainly turns heads on the road with a handsome and imposing façade including black and white Tudor styling offset with impressive stone mullion windows. Internally, the property offers charming Arts and Crafts features including decorative plasterwork to some ceilings, wood panelling in parts, and several feature fireplaces.
The accommodation is laid out over two floors and totals some 3,091 sq ft (287 sq m) including garaging and outbuildings. The house is entered via an arched front door leading into the panelled reception hall with black and white marble tiling to the floor. There is a guest cloakroom and WC beneath the stairs, and the three reception rooms radiate off the hall.
The living room is the largest of the three reception rooms and enjoys views of the garden via a wide bay window with decorative stained and leaded glass. The focal point of the room is a beautiful natural stone fireplace with coal effect gas fire. A further feature of the room is the delicately patterned plaster cornicing and ceiling rose, typical of the Arts and Crafts movement.
The sitting room (presently used as a music room) is also generously proportioned, having a stone mullion bay window to the front, exposed treated floor boards, feature fireplace with coal effect gas fire, decorative plasterwork to the ceiling.
The dining room also has a stone mullion bay window to the front as well as wood panelling to one wall making this an impressive and atmospheric space to entertain. Adjacent to the dining room is the breakfast room which leads through into the kitchen.
The kitchen has cream-painted and contrasting natural oak base and wall units with Corian work-tops, integrated fridge, integrated dishwasher, electric oven and grill, four ring gas hob with extractor over. The utility room is accessed via the breakfast room and has further fitted base and wall units, a Belfast style sink, and a modern Worcester gas central heating boiler. A door leads to a covered side passage and outbuildings and through to the garden.
On the first floor is a central landing with a stunning stained and leaded glass window over the stairs. There are five bedrooms plus a box room/study which are all served by a house bathroom. All bedrooms have built-in storage; bedrooms 1 and 2 are both particularly spacious double rooms, bedrooms 3 and 4 are comfortable-sized double rooms and bedroom 5 is a generously sized single/twin bedroom with a walk-in cupboard with hanging rail. The house bathroom has bath with shower over, wash basin, airing cupboard, and heated towel rail. There is a separate WC adjacent.
Outside
To the front of the house is a raised fore-garden with brick paving, ornamental box hedging, and a selection of shrubs. There are two driveways, one to either side of the plot, with the left hand one leading up to the large single garage.
To the rear is a beautiful garden which includes a large York stone terrace with eight symmetrical beds containing box hedges. Steps and a rockery lead up to the large lawn, flanked by pathways on either side and with deep and well-stocked borders including several fruit trees. There is a large timber shed as well as a summer-house to one corner. We have measured the total plot to be in the order of 0.35 acre.
