11 Renmore Avenue

A Home of Distinction

Set behind a generous stone driveway and approached through an elegant entrance, this exceptional and deceptive period residence effortlessly balances timeless architectural character with the comforts of contemporary family living. Beautifully restored throughout, the property retains an abundance of original features, including impressive 10-foot ceilings, ornate cornicing, period fireplaces, original internal doors and recently fitted traditional style sash windows, while seamlessly incorporating modern technology such as a Google Nest smart heating system, solar energy with battery storage and EV charging.

From the moment you step inside, the attention to detail is immediately apparent. The welcoming entrance hall is a striking introduction to the home, showcasing original Victorian tiled flooring, decorative cornicing and an elegant original stained-glass feature window, now enhanced with triple glazing to preserve its character while improving efficiency. A beautiful cast iron radiator complements the period aesthetic, while the Anthracite Grey composite front door featuring a fingerprint-activated smart locking system provides seamless security and convenience.

The principal reception room is an elegant and inviting space centred around a magnificent Henley multi-fuel stove set within a cast iron fireplace complete with decorative tiled hearth and surround. Flooded with natural light from a deep double-glazed sash bay window, the room enjoys a wonderful sense of proportion thanks to the home's impressive ceiling height. Warm laminate timber flooring creates an ideal setting for both relaxed family evenings and formal entertaining.

Across the hall, the main lounge offers a second beautifully proportioned reception space. A wide sash bay window fills the room with natural light while the original ornamental fireplace provides an attractive focal point, creating a sophisticated setting for quiet evenings or welcoming guests.

Offering exceptional flexibility, a further reception room currently arranged as a home office could equally serve as a fourth bedroom or snug. Here, an original fireplace has been sympathetically restored with a multi-fuel stove, cast iron surround and decorative tiled hearth, combining period charm with everyday practicality.

At the heart of the home lies a magnificent bespoke shaker-style kitchen, thoughtfully designed for modern family life. Finished in elegant two-tone cabinetry with soft sage green and off-white units, the kitchen centres around a substantial island providing both additional workspace and informal seating. Cleverly concealed doors lead discreetly into the adjoining utility room, preserving the clean architectural lines of the space. An AEG remote-controlled ceiling extractor, original open fireplace, stainless steel sink, cast iron radiator, sandstone tiled flooring and a beautiful sash bay window all contribute to the kitchen's exceptional character, while a double-glazed patio door connects you to the landscaped gardens beyond.

The adjoining utility room continues the same high standard of finish with fitted cabinetry, sandstone flooring and direct access to the courtyard, offering practical everyday convenience without compromising the home's overall design.

The family bathroom is both elegant and luxurious, featuring a beautiful freestanding roll top bath, separate shower enclosure and stylish vanity unit. Original character has been carefully preserved with a cast iron radiator, while quality tiling and tasteful finishes create a calm, spa-inspired atmosphere. A separate cloakroom continues the period styling with original flooring and traditional panelling, while housing the home's modern pressurised hot water system.

The generous proportions continue throughout the bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom enjoys a delightful front aspect and is centred around an attractive tiled fireplace with timber surround, providing a wonderful reminder of the home's heritage. Bedroom two is equally impressive, benefiting from a front-facing position, original tiled fireplace and large sash window, while bedroom three continues the period theme with its own cast iron fireplace and view of the courtyard. Each bedroom offers excellent natural light, generous proportions and comfortable accommodation for family living.

A long side hall with decorative cornicing further highlights the scale and elegance of this beautiful home, reinforcing the sense of craftsmanship found throughout.

Outside, the gardens have been thoughtfully designed to create a series of private spaces for relaxation and entertaining. An original walled garden provides both privacy and maturity, while natural stone patios offer the perfect setting for outdoor dining. Carefully positioned Donegal slate monoliths create a striking focal point, complemented by a tranquil pond with fountain, beautifully planted rose garden and attractive courtyard featuring raised beds. A restored greenhouse retaining its unique styling has been fitted with electricity, while a substantial shed with garage-style access, an external ‘coal store’ and multiple outdoor water points ensure the gardens are as practical as they are beautiful. As evening falls, discreet solar lighting enhances the outdoor spaces, allowing the gardens to be enjoyed long after sunset.

This outstanding home has also embraced sustainable living without compromising its period integrity. A comprehensive solar panel array works alongside a substantial battery storage system and solar-powered hot water immersion, significantly enhancing energy efficiency. An electric vehicle charging point is conveniently yet discreetly positioned on the stone driveway, while oil-fired central heating is intelligently controlled via the Google Nest smart system.

Every element of this remarkable residence has been carefully considered to celebrate its architectural heritage while delivering the comfort, efficiency and luxury expected of modern living. Combining elegant reception rooms, an exceptional bespoke kitchen, beautifully manicured gardens and an enviable collection of original features, this is a truly distinguished family home that offers both character and contemporary refinement in equal measure.
