Vine Villa, New Road, Newtown

Holters are delighted to present Vine Villa, a Victorian home full of character, with beautifully refurbished accommodation and a generous garden, all tucked away in a remarkably central Newtown location. Behind its boundaries is a home with far more to discover than you might expect, from its lovely period features and extensive fitted storage to its cellar and collection of useful outbuildings.

The current owner has refurbished the property throughout, carefully combining its Victorian character with thoughtful additions for everyday living. Bay windows, decorative timberwork, panelled doors and an elegant arched window give the house its individual appeal, while the accommodation extends over three floors.

The entrance hall provides a fitting introduction, with an impressive timber staircase featuring decorative balustrading and panelling. From here, the ground floor accommodation includes two inviting reception rooms, both with bay windows overlooking the garden.

The living room is a cosy retreat, with a decorative fireplace surround and ceiling cornicing adding to its character. It’s an inviting spot to curl up around the fire on autumn and winter evenings.

The second reception room has another attractive bay window, together with extensive fitted cupboards, shelving and cleverly incorporated storage. This would make an ideal playroom, formal dining room or second sitting room.

The kitchen/dining room has ample space for a substantial dining table, making it a welcoming setting for everyday meals and evenings with friends. Pale cabinetry is complemented by timber worktops and tiled splashbacks, with a range-style cooker beneath an extractor hood and space for an American-style fridge/freezer. Further fitted cupboards provide plenty of storage, while a fireplace recess with a timber mantel adds character to the dining area. Glazed double doors open directly onto the garden, with outdoor seating just beyond.

Completing the ground floor is a WC, which is not currently used by the owners.

On the first floor are three bedrooms and the bathroom. Bedroom One has extensive fitted wardrobes, cupboards and shelving, together with a dressing area. The smaller Bedroom Two features the beautiful arched window overlooking the garden, while Bedroom Three, at the end of the landing, is a comfortable double.

The bathroom is fitted with a bath, separate shower enclosure, pedestal wash basin and WC.

A winding staircase rises to Bedroom Four on the second floor. Sloping ceilings, exposed painted timbers and a dormer window give this room plenty of character, with space for a bed and desk. An adjoining store provides useful attic storage.

Below the ground floor, the cellar offers standing headroom and further storage, with potential for refurbishment, subject to the necessary investigations, consents and approvals.

The large garden lies to the front of the house and is a real part of Vine Villa’s appeal. Established trees, planting and enclosed boundaries create a surprisingly private setting for somewhere so convenient for the town. There is a generous lawn, space for children to play and plenty of opportunity for keen gardeners, alongside gravelled and decked areas for outdoor dining and relaxing. The house’s bay windows and decorative frontage provide a lovely backdrop.

Gated access leads to a parking area beside the house, while several outbuildings provide valuable additional space. These include a separate utility and store, together with a newly installed timber workshop/summer house, ideal for hobbies, projects or enjoying a little time in the garden.

With its beautiful features, refurbished interiors and generous outside space, Vine Villa has a great deal to offer. This is a lovely home that really deserves a viewing to appreciate both its character and its tucked-away setting.
