You may be familiar with one of Belfast’s most famous streets made legendary in a hit song by local star Van Morrison.
This stunning property enjoys a prestigious history dating back to 1877 during which it has had just four owners throughout this 141-year period- a true testament to the charm of this property. The semi-detached residence sits in a conservation area within walking distance to the popular Ballyhackamore and Belmont Villages and close to local amenities.
Designed by architects Young and McKenzie, 2 Cyprus Avenue forms part of Plevna Villa- two pairs of semi-detached residences.
An extremely spacious property, the residence boasts three reception rooms and five bedrooms.
The inside is well-maintained with many original Victorian and Edwardian features.
Step inside
The charming period architecture is evident right from the moment you enter this superb property. Original cornicing, a picture rail and part wood paneled walls line the hallway at the entrance of the home.
The first of three reception rooms is charming and inviting. From the semi solid oak floor to the mahogany fireplace with granite hearth and open fire, the way in which this property has been maintained is a credit to its owners.
The kitchen leads directly on from this room and comes with an integrated four ring ceramic hob and high level double oven. With generous dining space, modern units and plenty of light, this is a wonderful space which the origins of the house are once more unmistakable.
This property also has a separate utility room.
The living room is traditional and opulent. The bay window allows for daylight to flood in and casts light onto the centrepiece of the room- an incredible marble fireplace with open fire. High corniced ceilings and a rose further add to the elegance of this space.
The third reception room similarly features ornate cornicing. A feature glass block wall and built in cupboards further enhance the charm.
A modernised shower room complete with vanity unit and PVC panelled walls is also found on the ground floor.
Plenty of room
Upstairs, there are five sizeable, bright bedrooms- one of which is currently being used as a study.
The upstairs family bathroom features a vanity unit, chrome heated towel rail and a paneled bath.
Opulent outdoors
Ample parking space is offered in the form of a sweeping driveway which leads to a detached timber garage.
A south-facing, mature garden to the front and side of the residence has been maliciously maintained with boundary hedging, flowerbeds, shrubs, mature trees and raised flowerbeds.
A courtyard and outbuildings provide further storage.
