Land, location, period appeal
This lace-trimmed polychromatic brick Victorian residence is set on an unusually large garden block (64m/200ft deep approx), in wide and elegant Rowe Street. Its appeal is enhanced by well-separated bedroom areas, four-car garaging and close proximity to Queen's Parade, Rushall Station and the Edinburgh Gardens.
A high-ceilinged arched hall opens to a well-proportioned bedroom with elaborate timber mantelled fireplace and decorative plaster plasterwork, and then to a tiled bathroom. A renovation completed in the 1980s opens out the traditional nineteenth-century floorplan to an expansive living area with a wall of glass to an internal courtyard and a bar/cellar area to one side. A cut-out wall with central open fireplace leads to the dining room (with original combustion stove), opening on the southern side to a huge U-shaped timber kitchen and then to a family-size informal living zone. There is a second small courtyard from the kitchen, and a full-size laundry.
A wall of glass to the south looks out over the deep rear garden, which has a large garage and storage area accessed by a right of way.
Spiral stairs lead from the dining room to two further
