Grand proportions and original detail give this 6 bedroom period home immense character. High ceilings, tall sash windows, ornate cornicing, and period fireplaces enrich the principal floors, whilst scope for modernisation offers an opportunity to introduce a contemporary finish while respecting the home’s architectural integrity. Desirable Trinity combines city access with proximity to the coastline, open green spaces, excellent transport links, and well-regarded schools.

The sense of space is immediately apparent on entering via the vestibule. A timber staircase rises beneath a tall stained-glass window, drawing natural light into the reception hall, which also provides built-in storage and a WC cloakroom.

The principal living room is illuminated by a wide shuttered bay window framing leafy frontgarden views. An imposing marble fireplace with a livingflame fire anchors the sitting area, complemented by dentil cornicing, a ceiling rose, and an open Edinburgh press. To the rear, the open-plan dining and sitting room spans the width of the home, with a garden outlook and direct kitchen connection. Further period detailing includes ornate cornicing and a colourful tiled fireplace with a living-flame fire, while both spaces provide built-in storage.

The kitchen offers excellent scope for contemporary redesign, while remaining fully functional with fitted cabinetry, downlit worktops, and freestanding appliances comprising an electric cooker, washing machine, tumble dryer, and tall fridge freezer. A door opens onto the rear garden, while stairs from the dining room rise to a generous pantry/store above the kitchen.

The generous first-floor principal bedroom beautifully combines character and comfort, with a wide bay window, ornate cornicing, and a period fireplace. An archway flows into a spacious en-suite bathroom with a bath, separate shower enclosure, bidet, WC, and twin washbasins set within generous vanity storage.

The remaining five bedrooms are generously sized and arranged across the upper two levels, reached via landings with storage. The two first-floor rooms enjoy high ceilings, decorative cornicing, and feature fireplaces, with one also benefiting from built-in storage. Three further double bedrooms occupy the second floor, where sloping ceilings add character. One includes extensive fitted wardrobes and a vanity basin, while another is currently arranged as a workshop and could equally provide a quiet home office.

While the ground floor is served by a WC, the first and second floors each provide a family shower room, adding convenience for busy households.

Established gardens to the front and rear enhance privacy, with mature trees, shrubs, and hedging creating a leafy setting. The enclosed rear garden offers a secluded retreat with lawn, paved areas, and densely planted borders, while the front garden provides an attractive screen from the road. A driveway provides private parking for two cars, with additional spaces available on-street.
