Hillside Avenue, Plymouth

DC Lane are delighted to present this spacious and characterful family home, enviably positioned on the fringes of Central Park and within easy walking distance of the city centre and railway station.

Having been cherished by the same family for more than 30 years, this impressive period property offers a rare combination of generous proportions, original character and tremendous potential for modernisation. Warm, welcoming and rich in period detail, the property retains many of the features that give it a distinctive sense of charm and individuality.

Upon entering, leaded glass door opens into a welcoming hallway, where stripped floorboards, original doors, architraves and a handsome staircase with newel post immediately establish the characterful tone that continues throughout much of the ground floor.

The principal reception room is an impressive and generously proportioned space, centred around an open fireplace and enhanced by a large bay window. Pocket sliding doors open through to the dining room, creating an excellent entertaining space with ample room for a substantial dining table and chairs.

A separate breakfast room,, leads through to the kitchen. While the kitchen would benefit from modernisation, there is significant scope to reconfigure and open up this area to create a superb contemporary family kitchen.

To the first floor are four bedrooms. Two well proportioned double bedrooms and two further smaller bedrooms offer excellent flexibility as children's rooms, dressing rooms or home offices. The bathroom has been converted to a practical wet room.

Externally, the property benefits from a courtyard with the added advantage of rear service lane access and a garage.

Requiring some upgrading and modernisation, the property offers an exciting opportunity to create a wonderful period family home while retaining the original features and character and is being sold with no onward chain. A viewing is highly recommended.
