About this listing

There are homes that simply give you more space, and then there are homes that offer a completely different way of living. This substantial five-bedroom period linked semi on Richmond Road does exactly that — combining wonderful period character, generous family proportions and the rare luxury of having Ropner Park right next door. Imagine starting the day with a walk or run through the park, taking the dog around the lake, or simply stepping out for some fresh air amongst mature trees and open green space. For families, it becomes an extension of everyday life — somewhere for weekend walks, picnics and time outdoors without ever having to get in the car. Back at home, the character begins the moment you step inside. A traditional Victorian tiled entrance, original inner door and stripped timber flooring set the tone for a house that has retained plenty of its original personality. The impressive bay-fronted living room continues the theme with stripped flooring, deep skirtings, cornicing, picture rail, fireplace and fitted alcove cabinetry. The separate dining room gives family meals and entertaining their own proper setting, complete with a cast-iron fireplace, while the fabulous 22'7" kitchen has the relaxed, sociable feel you want from a family home. Shaker-style cabinetry, solid timber worktops, ceramic sink and a range cooker set into the chimney breast give it a style that feels entirely at home within this period property. And importantly, this isn't period living at the expense of practicality. There's a particularly generous 10'9" utility room, together with a ground-floor shower room — invaluable when you're dealing with the realities of a busy household. Upstairs, the scale really comes into its own. Four bedrooms occupy the first floor alongside the family shower room and separate WC, while a staircase continues upwards to the original housekeeper's quarters, where a reception landing, eaves access and fifth bedroom create a wonderfully characterful additional level. That fifth bedroom opens up all sorts of possibilities — a teenager's retreat, guest suite, creative space or a peaceful place to work from home, tucked away from the main living accommodation. Outside, there's more practicality than you might expect from a period home this close to the park. A long driveway leads to a large tandem-length attached garage with drive-through doors, while the enclosed rear courtyard provides a more intimate outdoor space with a gravelled patio and Victorian-style lean-to greenhouse. What really makes this house stand apart, though, is the combination. Five bedrooms. Period character. Proper family-sized rooms. Driveway and substantial garage. And Ropner Park next door. For a family wanting the individuality and proportions of an older home, but with one of Stockton's best-loved green spaces forming part of everyday life, Richmond Road offers something genuinely different.
