Room Details

Arranged over three levels and approached via wide granite steps, the main floor boasts a grand entrance hallway and two elegantly proportioned reception rooms with bay window to the front, large fireplaces and wonderful sash windows and working shutters. On the upper floor and return, there are four generous bedrooms, master ensuite and family bathroom. At lower level the entrance hallway leads into a TV room and then on into kitchen / breakfast room which opens directly into the large rear garden. At garden level, there is a large family room, wine cellar, a shower room, utility room and large study/office.

Outside, the south-facing rear garden is predominantly laid in lawn and is bordered by stone walls on all sides and boasts a selection of mature plants, shrubs and specimen trees. The boundaries are clearly defined with old granite walling and the garden benefits from a feeling of wonderful privacy and seclusion. To the front, fine cast iron railings enclose the off- street gravel parking area, accessed through granite topped gate piers and bordered by mature and well-maintained hedging and planting. The cobble block pathway that approaches the granite steps is bordered by manicured lawn. A gated side entrance alongside the block-built garage and outhouses provides ease of access to the rear garden.

The property has been occupied by the same family since 1984 (before that, it was owned by another family from 1936). The current owners carried out extensive renovation work in 1985 and added a kitchen extension, giving directly into the back garden, in 2006. The couple considered the option of downsizing and got full planning permission (Planning Reference ABP – 318615 – 23, and Planning Register 4093/23), for a 174 m² bungalow, designed by Goodwin + Lee Architects, in the rear garden. However, the couple subsequently found very suitable alternative property into which to downsize and are now selling 66 Eglinton Road with the benefit of the planning permission.
