An impressive late Georgian townhouse with double garage and private walled garden

Description

Dating back to the late Georgian period, this substantial Grade II listed townhouse sits on a desirable residential street behind a pretty front garden. The property has the unusual benefit of a garage and store along with a long, walled rear garden.

True to the architecture of its time, the property is characterised by large sash windows, high ceilings and beautiful cornicing. Extending to just over 3,400 square feet of living accommodation, arranged over five floors, the layout is ideally suited to family living.

Entered through an attractive traditional entrance hall, the sizeable kitchen/breakfast room has a generous amount of fitted units and space for a kitchen table and notably a stunning, large window overlooking the garden. A door leads to the dining room which also benefits from another large window and space for a table, perfect for entertaining.

As is traditional, the drawing room is the full width of the house on the first floor with two large windows and feature fireplace, the room provides a wonderful place to retire to on an evening. The principal bedroom on this floor overlooks the garden and has an en suite bathroom.

The second floor houses bedrooms two and three alongside the house bathroom with an electric shower over the bath and there is also a separate toilet with a hand basin.

Bedrooms four and five sit on the third floor where there is also a study space that has been created on the spacious landing. Bedroom four has access to a storage room.

The basement has its own access and two decent sized rooms, one being the former kitchen which has a traditional feature bread oven. This space could be utilised to create annexed accommodation or further living space.
