Description

18b Claremont Crescent is an immaculately presented main door lower ground and garden level flat, forming part of a handsome Georgian townhouse successfully restored in 2003 by Sundial Properties. The property offers spacious, comfortable and flexible accommodation ideally suited to a family, young professionals or people downsizing from a larger house.

Entered at lower ground level, the hall gives access to a delightful sitting room and the principal bedroom, which benefits from an en suite shower room, as well as two further double bedrooms. One of these bedrooms has also been used as a home office. There is also a further shower room and excellent storage. Stone steps lead down to the lower level, where the superb open plan family living room and dining kitchen is situated. There is a utility room off, as well as a door opening to the garden. In addition there are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom on this floor.

The property is accessed via a set of steps leading to the front basement area where there is a double under pavement cellar providing excellent storage space. To the rear of the property there is a generous paved terrace providing an excellent space for external dining, while a set of stone steps lead down to the gently sloping garden. The garden has been kept principally to lawn but there is plenty of colour from the surrounding trees and shrubs.

A secure off street parking space, accessed from Broughton Road, is included in the sale and access to the lovely Claremont Crescent gardens is available to residents for a modest annual subscription.
