A slice of Villa magic, mere steps from King William's gems

Auction Sat, 6th Sep - 11.30am (usp) So close to cobbled King William Road you can almost feel its buzz, but never hear it; it's easy to see why this C1910 symmetrical villa has been so tightly held for the last 30+ years. A lot can happen in three decades, including a rear addition that put the crowd-pleasing exclamation mark on this charming home with a separate rear studio surprise at its rear. Hidden in plain sight behind high hedging, this stone-fronted beauty carves out its own quiet world - and those old-world details that get better with age. Whether it's the tessellated tiles and intricate lacework of its front facade or the Baltic pine floors, hallway arch, heavenly high ceilings and ornate fireplaces within; the beauty lives in the details here. Four main rooms make up the original section; each as spacious, light-filled and flexible as the next. Don't need four bedrooms? You now have two living zones. Then it all stretches out and settles into something more modern and laidback at its open-plan rear, where a high-quality kitchen - with Smeg appliances - comes into its own. Extensive timber-framed glazing slides open so you can spill effortlessly to a private rear garden setting with an outdoor kitchen, lush lawns, established plantings and that studio. Whether you harbour artistic ambitions, work from home or have an independence-craving teen, the studio answers the call on a plot with ample off-street parking, secure carport and electronic gated entry. Just a couple of leafy streets away stands the salons, boutiques, progressive restaurants, bars and cafes that make Hyde Park a cosmopolitan melting pot within arm's reach of the city and quality schools. Here's to the next 30 years.
