An extended family home on a lush private site with mature surroundings, 12 Shrewsbury Park blends period features with a modern style in a coveted area of Belfast.

With the demand for property in the city currently sky-high, agents Simon Brien are sure the home will make for an appealing prospect.

The company’s Emma Brennan said: “This is a stunning family home of exceptional scale and character.

“The home was renovated by the owners, who also added a sympathetic double-storey extension to the rear to create an extensive open-plan living, dining and kitchen area on the ground floor and a stunning master suite to the first floor.”

The five-bedroom home, in the leafy Malone area of south Belfast, is spacious and bright throughout.

The entrance hall, with its panelled walls and walnut flooring, sets the tone for the rest of the property, which incorporates old-world details and finishes with more contemporary comforts.

Convenience is key at Shrewsbury Park, where downstairs you’ll find a guest bedroom with ensuite shower that’s currently used as an office — perfect for anyone working from home. With four more bedrooms and three reception rooms, there’s no excuse not to do just that.

The entrance hall is bright, airy and comes with walnut flooring

The lounge has bay windows, walnut flooring and an eye-catching stone fireplace with a decorative cast-iron inset, clearly part of the older section of the house and offering a more formal living space set aside from the extension.

That extension has a kitchen fitted by Design Yard and an open-plan living space with endless storage, plenty of light and cool and calm design.

There’s also a range of high and low-level fitted units, a silestone worktop, built-in appliances and a feature island.

It’s not hard to imagine what life could be like with the indoor/outdoor living potential offered by Shrewsbury Park.

Ms Brennan stressed: “The accommodation would be perfectly suited for a growing family. It has been finished to the highest of standards throughout, retaining many of its period features, yet providing everything demanded for modern-day living.

“Buyers hoping for a spacious outside area won’t be disappointed by the sizeable garden for the location of the property.

The open-plan kitchen includes a feature island

“Externally, beyond the front boundary wall, there is ample driveway parking to the front.

“[There is also] an immaculate private garden to the rear and lawns with variety of trees, shrubs and flower beds.”

Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors lead to an extensive raised patio area that would be perfect for making the most of any good weather, whether you’re watching the children play outside or entertaining guests.

To sweeten the deal, there’s also a utility room that would be the envy of many families, coming with fitted cabinets and an area for washing and drying clothes.

Upstairs, on the first floor, there’s a master suite incorporating a dressing room and an ensuite shower room.

In the second bedroom, meanwhile, there’s a second ensuite shower room, adding to the value of the property.

All the bedroom have plenty of space

There’s also a tiled family bathroom that comes with a deep-fill bath and a large shower with drencher head.

There’s no shortage of comfort at 12 Shrewsbury Park, which has underfloor gas central heating across the ground floor, with the exception of the lounge.

Outside, the property has a sweeping parking area to the front of the house featuring a boundary wall and trees, which, convenience aside, adds more than a little kerb appeal to such an attractive home.

Ms Brennan said: “12 Shrewsbury Park offers the convenience of Belfast living close to hand.

“Leading schools are just around the corner, as is the bustling Lisburn Road, with its variety of shops, cafes, and restaurants, while the city centre can be easily accessed by car or public transport.”
