A Truly Exceptional Five/Six Bedroom Period Home in Whitley

This outstanding double-fronted semi-detached period residence is brimming with character, charm, and elegance. Behind its handsome façade lies over 2,249 square feet of beautifully renovated living space, spread across three spacious floors — perfect for larger families seeking both style and substance. Situated on the sunny side of the ever-popular St Malo Road in the highly sought-after district of Whitley, this home is within the catchment area for the outstanding Woodfield Primary School and just a short stroll from the picturesque Haigh Hall Plantations Country Park. The area is renowned for its impressive period properties and its appeal to families looking for a blend of tradition and convenience.
Internally, the home has been tastefully modernised while retaining its period charm. A welcoming original glazed entrance porch leads into a grand reception hallway, where the beautifully preserved spindled staircase makes a striking first impression. A convenient WC/cloakroom is also located just off the hallway. There are three generous reception spaces on the ground floor. The first is a stylish formal lounge showcasing classic features such as a decorative ceiling, coving and a dado rail. The second reception room mirrors this elegance. To the rear, a warm and inviting snug features a fabulous open fireplace with a wood-burning stove and double-glazed French doors opening onto the rear garden. The traditional kitchen blends functionality and charm, complete with a range of integrated appliances and contrasting wood and laminate worktops. A separate utility room houses laundry appliances, keeping the main living spaces clutter-free.
The first floor is accessed via a stunning returning staircase, with a feature window flooding the space with natural light. This level offers four spacious and bright bedrooms, each with its own appeal. The luxurious family bathroom is a standout feature, comprising a four-piece suite with a vanity unit, WC, slipper bath, and separate walk-in shower. The second floor is a true highlight — a fully converted master suite that spans the entire top level. This expansive retreat includes a sitting area (or optional sixth bedroom), an en suite shower room and Velux roof windows that fill the space with natural light.
Externally, the home enjoys a private, low-maintenance rear garden with a sunny south-westerly aspect. The garden includes a mix of lawn and gravelled seating areas, perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
