"A characterful Victorian townhouse in the heart of a much sought-after spa town"
The Property
Spa House is an attractive and characterful Victorian townhouse situated on a quiet, tree-lined street yet moments away from the amenities of the popular spa town of Buxton. The property is full of period detail with many original features including high ceilings, large bay windows, half-panelled walls and lovely fire surrounds along with handsome terrazzo flooring on part of the ground and first floor levels. The flexible six bedroom accommodation is arranged over four floors, with elegantly-appointed living spaces and gorgeous bathrooms. Spa House is currently operated as a successful holiday let; the combination of the hugely desirable location and the beautiful property has proved to be a great draw for visitors. Interested parties may wish to add an investment opportunity to their portfolio, or may simply be seeking a wonderful family home in the heart of this sought-after town.
The striking main entrance is at ground floor level, with additional access at lower ground level. The front entrance leads beneath a stone portico to the private hall. There are two fabulous reception rooms on the first floor, with an open flow between the two adding to the sense of space and grandeur. A stunning bay window floods the sitting room with natural light to highlight the soaring ceiling and the grand feature fireplace. The open arch leads through to the dining room with space for a huge dining table and chairs. This is a great place for family and friends to get together. The kitchen sits to the rear elevation and is fitted with a fine range of contemporary cabinetry and sleek floor tiling. Subtle lighting complements the modern finishes.
The lower ground floor has been thoughtfully renovated to offer practical additions to the principal living areas. A large family room is currently configured as a stylish media room; this is an extra reception room, a play room and a hobby room in one. The utility room has lots of additional work space with a WC off to one side. A cloakroom provides storage and there is also a shower room tucked away in one corner.
The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the first and second floors. The principal bedroom is very well-proportioned, with a bay window bringing swathes of light. A full tiled en-suite shower room serves this bedroom. There are two further bedrooms on the first floor which are served by another shower room. Another three bedrooms on the second floor are served by a large family bathroom with freestanding roll-top bath, separate shower, wash hand basin and WC. All of the bedrooms are finished in simple, relaxing colour palettes.
Externally
Spa House benefits from off-road parking for up to three vehicles. This is hugely beneficial in such a central location.
An elevated courtyard garden to the front incorporates a pretty decorative flagged patio with easily-maintained border planting. This is a pleasant spot to relax outdoors and for al fresco dining in the warmer months. There is also a small courtyard area at the rear of Spa House.
Agents Note
The front door is accessed via a vestibule owned by Malvern House. Spa House has a right of access to their private door.
