Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Royston, SG8 :
Geneva House is an attractive double bay-fronted Edwardian residence which enjoys a wonderful setting back from the road in picturesque surroundings.
Built in 1902, this striking home extends to an impressive 2166.1 sq ft, providing well-proportioned and elegant accommodation which is cleverly orientated to ensure stunning garden views are enjoyed from all principal rooms. All rooms feature high ceilings, tall sash windows and many delightful and original period features.
The property is in need of sympathetic renovation, but offers excellent potential and flexibility to create a truly impressive family home. It also occupies a large surrounding plot measuring 0.365 acres with numerous outbuildings which benefits from the possibility of building a separate dwelling adjacent to the original house (subject to the necessary consents).
A long reception hall with elegant staircase and original tiled flooring leads to all ground floor accommodation. The formal dining room has a bay window and features an open fireplace with a decorative hand painted marble surround and tiled hearth. The sitting room also has an impressive fireplace and bay window. The breakfast/day room features a stone floor and another feature fireplace. The fitted kitchen also has a working fireplace. Off the kitchen is a smaller kitchenette. Completing the ground floor is an inner hallway which leads to a scullery, store room and cloakroom/WC. A door leads to the rear garden.
On the first floor there is a long landing with sash windows to the front and rear aspects which leads to four double bedrooms, a large single bedroom and family bathroom.
Outside the well-tended and secluded gardens, extending to the front, side and rear, offer lawned areas, well-stocked beds of various flowers and plants, attractive mature trees, an enclosed vegetable area, various outbuildings and yard which provides ample off-road parking.
