5 Lansdown Place is just one of a few townhouses on the Lansdown Place to remain in single ownership, protecting its elegant proportions, stunning interior and numerous retained period features. The house offers a versatile footprint, arranged over four floors and presents the opportunity for a self-contained lower ground floor flat.

From the wide flagstone pavement to the front, the house opens into a stunning entrance hall with its dressed stone flooring, carpeted stone stairwell and elegant curved wooden balustrade staircase with cast-iron balusters.

Over the hall floor is the superb dining room with a carved marble period fire surround; complete with an open hearth below. Like much of the reception space, it enjoys an abundance of natural light, with tall shuttered sash windows. The ceiling is rich in period cornice work and the room enjoys much of the afternoon light.

To the rear, accessed by both the butler's pantry from the dining room as well as from the entrance hall is the fully fitted kitchen. There is ample space for a free-standing island, with access out into the sun-filled glazed conservatory complete with a spiral staircase leading down to the garden.

From the rear of the hallway there is access to a fitted cloak and utility room, complete with a w.c and wash basin, sink and drainer board and space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer.

From the carpeted dressed stone stairs, the first floor is reached via a glamorous half-landing, overlooking the entrance with a showcase stained glass sash window. This half-landing gives access to a versatile fourth bedroom, with lovely views over the rear towards St. Paul's Church and a feature marble fireplace.

To the front of the house is the fabulous sitting room, spanning the full width of the property and with access, via twin shuttered sash windows, to the sunny canopied balcony overlooking Victoria Square gardens beyond. The sitting room has lovely high ceilings rich in period detail, as well as a beautiful carved marble fireplace.

Stairs lead up to the first floor half-landing, with a well-proportioned double bedroom complete with a sash window and feature period fireplace.

The master bedroom is arranged over the front elevation on the second floor, with a sash window flooding the room with natural light and with views over Victoria Square Gardens. Over time, a doorway has been opened up into bedroom 5, possibly to serve a former nursery, but currently a home office which could be fitted to provide an exquisite dressing room.

Opposite lies the family bathroom, complete with a tiled-floor, standalone contemporary twin-ended bath and an oversize shower cubicle, w.c and wash basin.

Adjacent to the bathroom is a separate shower room, complete with an enclosed shower cubicle, wash basin and w.c as well as recessed storage housing hot-water tank and wooden linen shelves.

Above , over the second floor half landing is a generous bedroom with great views to rear, over St. Pauls Church and up towards Upper Belgrave Road in the distance.

The Lower Ground Floor presents a hugely versatile footprint, with access from the principal house above, as well as from the front elevation and from the rear courtyard garden (if desired). It currently provides further family and guest accommodation, with a generous sitting room, fitted kitchen, bath and shower room and a sixth double bedroom. Subject to a new owner's needs it could provide self-contained accommodation for a dependent relative, further guest accommodation or to provide a useful rental income.

The private walled garden to the rear is a real treat, catching much of the morning and early afternoon sun. The garden is accessed via a spiral staircase from the conservatory above and provides and calm and tranquil space to relax and / or entertain.

To the front is a private paved courtyard catching much of the late morning and afternoon sun, with access to very useful vaulted storage.
