A handsome period townhouse, beautifully appointed throughout with the advantage of a detached garage.

The layout and design is representative of the many of the fine period town houses built on the peripheries of the city, providing flexible and extensive accommodation. The property has been recently refurbished with great attention to detail and design, offering a superb balance of period features and contemporary touches, including cream uPVC sash windows, feature column radiators throughout, replacement FloPlast cast iron effect guttering and maintenance-free soffits. Arranged over three floors, the property now presents as a beautiful and practical home, having been remodelled to suit a more modern lifestyle.

On the ground floor the entrance hallway (with WC) and central staircase leads to the elegant and well-proportioned principal reception rooms, including the lounge and dining room.

Each of these characterful rooms benefit from an abundance of natural light from the large sash bay windows, the dining room having a central dual fuel stove with herringbone ceramic tiling for the winter months. The living room has a period working fireplace with an original marble surround.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of solid base units with Oak worksurfaces over including an inset ceramic sink with drainer, dishwasher and washer drier. There is space for appliances, a new, wall mounted Ideal Vogue combi boiler and a useful pantry beyond.

To the first floor is the generous master bedroom with dual windows and fitted wardrobes. To the rear elevation is the stunning house bathroom with original fireplace, central freestanding bath and separate shower, all in Burlington heritage style sanitaryware, complete with a Fired Earth tiled floor.

To the second floor are two further double bedrooms with Velux skylights, both of which have original fireplaces.

Externally the property is well set back behind a large, landscaped garden, mainly laid to lawn, with a flagged seating area and mature hedge boundaries. To the rear is an enclosed southwesterly walled courtyard with raised beds and outside stores.

Assessed further along the row, is a large detached single garage providing off street parking provision. Located in a private yard, accessed via timber double doors, the garage has a solar powered electric up and over door.

In summary, an elegant and stylish period home, comprehensively refurbished and ready for immediate occupation.
