Stafford House is a most elegant 4 bedroom townhouse offering beautifully proportioned accommodation, with period features retained or faithfully replicated where possible, including many original doors, fire surround and plaster cornicing.

The property is also wired for Virgin Media systems, which includes access to the fastest UK fibre Broadband network (100Mb).
