Description
Situated in the heart of sought-after St. Leonards, Magdalen Road is an inviting and versatile family home with generous living spaces and plenty of options for modern family life, including home working.
Beyond a charming entrance porch with traditional quarry tiled flooring, a patterned glass door opens to a warm and welcoming hallway, where stylish oak flooring and natural light set the tone for the rest of the house. There’s practical under-stair storage and a cloakroom with a modern vanity unit and WC conveniently off the hall.
At the rear, the sitting room is a lovely bright reception room with a double glazed bay window looking out over the garden, a gas coal-effect fire with an elegant marble hearth and decorative surround, and a door that opens directly to the outside. The adjacent dining room is equally generous, with oak flooring and another large bay window framing views of the garden.
Towards the front, the breakfast room offers a welcoming everyday dining space and flows naturally into the well-fitted kitchen. Here, modern units, ample worktops, integrated appliances and clever storage solutions make it a practical hub for busy family life. There’s also a separate utility room with plumbing for laundry appliances and extra storage, which connects to a covered courtyard and useful outbuildings, including a timber outhouse used as an art studio - an ideal spot for a garden office, creative workspace or hobbies.
Upstairs, the first floor has five spacious bedrooms offering flexible accommodation for a growing family. The principal bedroom enjoys far-reaching views of the countryside and has its own en suite shower room. The second double bedroom is a bright, comfortable double with a bay window and fitted wardrobes. The third double bedroom has access to a large eaves space, perfect for storage or possible conversion, (subject to consent), while the family bathroom is generously sized with a corner bath and shower.
A timber staircase continues to the top floor where two further double bedrooms, each with countryside glimpses, provide even more flexibility – ideal for teenagers, guests or home offices. One has its own en suite, adding to the home’s practicality for family life or visiting relatives.
Outside, a brick-pillared entrance opens onto a block paved driveway with parking for three cars and a single garage. The sunny, secluded rear garden is a real highlight - laid to lawn with colourful, well-tended borders and a sheltered sitting area perfect for summer evenings. A timber garden shed and extra storage spaces complete this well-equipped home.
Perfectly positioned on one of St. Leonards’ most desirable roads, this spacious house combines classic character, generous family living and superb versatility for home working or multi-generational living - all within easy reach of excellent local schools, independent shops and the city centre.
