This charming period residence, dating from the late 1800s, is rich in character and presents a wonderful opportunity to create a truly distinctive home. Extended at garden level a number of years ago, the property combines generous proportions with a flexible layout and boasts a superb rear garden. An attractive flight of granite steps leads to the hall door, opening into an impressive entrance hallway. Off this space are two gracious interconnecting reception rooms. The elegant drawing room overlooks Waterloo Road and flows seamlessly into the dining room to the rear. Both rooms retain beautiful period features, including matching fireplaces. To the rear of the hallway lies a bright library/study, complete with a striking glass-panelled staircase leading down to the garden level. The first floor comprises four spacious double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. At garden level, the property offers extensive open-plan living accommodation running from front to back. This level is also accessible from the front via a practical hallway with excellent storage and cloakroom facilities, as well as a well-appointed shower room featuring a sauna. To the front, a fitted kitchen with a central island and dining area opens into a bright family room, with doors leading out to the rear garden. A fifth bedroom is also located on this level, offering excellent flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional living space. The property is further enhanced by a magnificent sunny rear garden extending to approximately thirty-nine metres, providing a private and tranquil oasis in the heart of the city. To the front, a driveway offers ample off-street parking. 80 Waterloo Road is presented very well and although the garden level was extended and modernised some years ago, the property does require some modernisation in parts. It is however, an exceptionally spacious family home in a location second to none.
