Situated on a generous corner plot within the highly sought-after Queen’s Park area, Courtlands is a substantial detached family residence, originally built in the 1930s. Tastefully extended and thoughtfully modernised in recent years, this impressive home now offers over 2,500 square feet of stylish and versatile accommodation, ideal for contemporary family living. Set back from the road, the property is approached via a sweeping gravel driveway, providing ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles and leading to a single integral garage. A welcoming entrance is offered through a covered porch with double doors that open into a spacious entrance hall, where you'll also find a convenient cloakroom/WC. At the heart of the home lies the expansive open-plan kitchen and dining room, the true social hub of the house. This beautifully appointed space is flooded with natural light from a wide bay window overlooking the rear garden. The kitchen was comprehensively refitted approximately four years ago and now features an extensive range of sleek fitted cabinetry with elegant quartz worktops. A large central island provides additional workspace and casual seating, perfect for informal family gatherings. High-spec integrated appliances include double electric ovens, an induction hob, a microwave, fridge, dishwasher, and concealed bins, ensuring both functionality and style. The adjoining dining area retains its original charm, with beautifully preserved herringbone woodblock flooring and ample space for a large dining table – ideal for entertaining guests or enjoying family meals. A well-equipped utility room, accessible from the kitchen, offers additional storage, a sink, and space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and freestanding fridge-freezer. From here, a further room currently used as a home gym provides direct access to the rear garden through sliding patio doors. The principal lounge is an exceptional space, enjoying a triple aspect that allows light to pour in throughout the day. Twin sets of patio doors open directly onto the rear terrace, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Additional ground floor reception rooms include a cosy sitting room with a bay window overlooking the front of the property and a dedicated study, ideal for those working from home. The first floor offers four generously proportioned double bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, space, and natural light. The master bedroom is a true retreat, featuring a wall of built-in wardrobes that provide ample storage while maintaining a sleek and uncluttered feel. This elegant room also benefits from a spacious en suite bathroom. The second bedroom also enjoys the luxury of its own en suite shower room, making it ideal for guests, teenagers, or as a private space for an older child. Two further well-sized double bedrooms complete the upper floor, both offering flexible accommodation options, perfect for children’s rooms, guest suites, or even a second home office or hobby room. Serving these bedrooms is a contemporary family bathroom Outside, a spacious, well-maintained paved terrace extends across the rear of the house, offering an ideal setting for outdoor dining or relaxation. The terrace is neatly edged with low-level retaining sleepers, adding both structure and a natural, rustic touch while subtly defining the space. Beyond this, the main garden features a raised expanse of lawn, which partially wraps around one side of the property. Mature, well-stocked planting beds frame the lawn, providing privacy, seasonal colour, and a sense of established greenery. Due to the generous size and positioning of the plot, there may be significant potential for redevelopment or further extension, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents. This offers an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to create a bespoke home or explore development possibilities in one of Queen’s Park’s most desirable locations.
