5 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

This handsome semi-detached house, dating from 1875, lies on the north side of this prestigious side road. It was designed by Galpin and Shirley and has planning permission ref. 24/02951/FUL for conversion to a residential dwelling. The planning consent provides for the demolition of the existing side and rear extension, together with the rear fire escape, and the erection of a single-storey rear extension to provide a new dwelling of circa 3178 square feet. Full details and plans are available from Knight Frank.

The accommodation is over five floors, and the property retains much period detail, including sash windows, open fireplaces and cornicing, together with high ceilings and stripped wooden floors. The rooms are generously proportioned and enjoy good natural light. The current owners have well-maintained the property, including double-glazing almost all the windows.

There is off street parking to the front and at the rear, the mature walled garden is mainly laid to lawn with herbaceous borders and at the rear, an oak and maple tree.
