Description
10 Vetch Park is a handsome stone-built semi-detached Victorian villa, dating from around 1890, which has been thoughtfully extended and refurbished to create a warm, characterful, and highly flexible family home. Extending to approximately 154sqm, the property retains a wealth of period detail, including high ceilings, decorative cornicing, deep skirtings, panelled doors, bay windows, a fireplace, fitted alcove shelving, and an elegant stair with traditional balustrade. The result is a house with a strong sense of period identity, but with the comfort and practicality expected of a well-kept modern home. The ground floor is arranged around a welcoming hall and includes a particularly generous and attractive sitting room, with a southerly-facing bay window drawing in excellent natural light, a fireplace focal point, and fitted shelving. A separate dining room provides an elegant space for entertaining, and the kitchen has been carefully updated with shaker-style cabinetry, timber worktops, open shelving, and space for informal dining, with a practical utility area beyond. Also on the ground floor are a bedroom/study, a WC beneath the stair, and a contemporary wet room, creating useful options for guests, home working, or multigenerational living. This part of the layout gives the house a notable degree of versatility without compromising the balance of the principal living spaces. On the first floor, the principal bedroom is an impressive room of excellent scale, enhanced by a southerly-facing bay window and fine period proportions. There are two further double bedrooms, a box room, and a beautifully finished family bathroom with freestanding bath, separate shower, fitted storage, and attractive tiling. The property benefits from gas central heating, a mixture of single and double-glazed windows, and loft access via a hatch and ladder. The roof space is insulated, partially floored, and has lighting, with the boiler also located there. The gardens are a particular delight and form an important part of the property’s appeal. Immediately to the rear, mature planting, stone boundary walls, paved areas, and a greenhouse create an attractive and sheltered setting, with the attached garden study providing excellent space for home working or creative use. In addition, further landscaped garden ground across Vetch Park has been beautifully arranged with curved paths, lawns, established borders, seating areas, and a separate shed, giving the property a wonderful sense of greenery and space. The planting provides colour, texture, and structure, while the paths and borders create a pleasing sense of depth and enclosure. Driveway parking adds further practicality.
