27 CHESTERFIELD ROAD

A beautifully proportioned, four-bedroom family home in the heart of St Andrews.

This impressive late Victorian circa 1900 semi-detached home is situated on one of St Andrews premier roads, close to the independent shops, cafés and restaurants lining the popular Gloucester Road and within proximity to Fairfield Secondary School and Sefton Park Primary School. The property is within walking distance of a plethora of amenities and main transport hubs, including Montpelier Train Station, direct bus links to the City Centre and the M32/M4/M5 motorway networks.

The property retains a mix of period and contemporary features and has been sympathetically modernised. As a result, it is presented to a good standard throughout, boasting an elegant bay-fronted sitting room, a family room/second reception and a 6.9m x 3m kitchen/diner on the ground floor and four double bedrooms, an ensuite shower room, a additional shower room and a family bathroom on the upper floors.

The sitting room retains many period features, including a ceiling rose, decorative cornice, picture rail and stripped wooden floorboards as well as a wood-burning stove with slate hearth. The room also boasts bespoke cabinetry in each alcove on both sides of the chimney breast and double glazed sash windows to the bay. Adjacent, the versatile second reception retains similar features with the addition of a cast iron fireplace, stripped wooden floorboards, a serving hatch to the kitchen/diner and views over the south-west facing rear garden. The hallway features under stairs storage drawers.

At the rear of the property is a large open-plan kitchen/diner. The kitchen consists of a range of oak wall and base units with metro tiled splash-backs, a Belfast style sink, fitted appliances and recessed spotlights to complete the look. The kitchen also benefits from an original pantry which sits under the stairs. Beyond the kitchen, the dining area has door and double doors leading out onto the rear garden.

The first floor has three neatly decorated double bedrooms, a bathroom, and a shower room. Bedroom two at the front has double-glazed bay windows, a cast iron feature fireplace and stripped wooden floorboards. Next door, bedroom three has a double-glazed sash window overlooking the rear garden, a cast iron feature fireplace and stripped wooden floorboards. At the rear, bedroom four is currently used as a guest bedroom/office and has a cast iron fireplace, fitted wardrobe and a double-glazed sash window. The bathroom is positioned between the third and fourth bedrooms at the rear of the property and comprises a bathtub, tiled flooring, part tiled walls, a wash hand basin, w.c, and a heated towel rail. The shower room to the front comprises a walk-in shower cubicle, tiled walls and flooring,

The principal bedroom suite spans the entire second floor and has a Juliet balcony overlooking the rear. It also has access to an ensuite shower room and storage to the eaves.

The rear garden enjoys a south-westerly aspect and has been cleverly landscaped to offer a practical space. The garden features a paved dining area that basks in sunshine throughout the summer. Steps lead onto an extensive lawn, bordered by beds housing various mature plants, trees and shrubs, which offer a screen of privacy from the neighbouring properties.

A walk-through storage shed can be accessed from the side of the property and provides direct access to the rear garden from the front.

A gravel driveway to the front provides off-street parking for one vehicle and can be adapted to create an additional space. The roof has solar panels, which are owned.
