Description

3 Brock Street is a Grade II* listed building within a terrace of seventeen houses connecting the Circus to the Royal Crescent. It was built by John Wood the Younger between 1763 – 1767 and is constructed of Bath stone with Venetian windows and backs onto Royal Victoria Park.

The property has been comprehensively refurbished over recent years with great care and attention to detail.
