Description

A fabulous period townhouse with bright and spacious accommodation with a lovely flow, offering much character and charm, high ceilings and the opportunity to improve further.

Situated in a quiet, secluded enclave in the heart of the city centre and ready to buy now with no onward chain.

On the ground floor a substantial part glazed door opens to the welcoming reception hallway, featuring exposed wood flooring and delightful period staircase rising to the first floor. There is a handy under stair storage cupboard.

A panelled wood door opens to the spacious sitting room. A lovely reception room features an amazing curved bay with tall sash windows letting in plenty of natural light. There are high skirting boards, a ceiling rose, exposed wood flooring and a gas fire.

The dining room is a further spacious reception room with a sash window to the front and a gas fire with fitted cupboards either side of the chimney breast and the room features a part wood panelled wall.

The charming kitchen is dated, but offers plenty of potential to improve and currently comprises a one and a half bowl sink unit with a mixer tap, work surfaces with base units and drawers, wall mounted storage shelving and appliance space. Two large windows look out to the rear courtyard filling the room with light and a part glazed door opens outside.

The elegant period staircase with exposed balustrades turns to the first floor half landing, with a cloakroom comprising a wash hand basin, low level WC, wood panelled walls and an obscure glazed window.

The stairs continue to the main landing area with a sash window to the rear and wood panelled walls opening to all rooms.

Bedroom one is a lovely double room with a tall sash window. The room has a fireplace surround and mantle piece. The second bedroom, currently used as a sitting room, is a further double bedroom, with exposed floorboard and the bay sash windows that flood the room with light.

The bathroom is on the first floor, fitted with a pedestal wash hand basin, low level WC, bidet and a cast iron bath. There is a separate shower enclosure with an electric shower unit and glazed screen and a chrome ladder style heated towel rail. Modern wall mounted boiler and a sash window to the rear.

The attractive staircase continues to the second floor landing with a window to the rear and panelled wood doors opening to two further bedrooms.

Bedroom three is a double room featuring a period cast iron fireplace and sash window and the fourth room is a really lovely size with a fireplace and sash window.

The house is approached by a gate opening to a pretty paved courtyard, a very pleasant place to sit with pretty planted areas and enjoying a southerly aspect.
