THE PROPERTY
A truly exciting opportunity to acquire a prominent townhouse with Victorian origins in a much coveted location. For many years 68 St Mary’s Street was home to a well-established dental practice. Following the practice’s relocation, the newly completed project represents a comprehensive re-configuration and refurbishment to return the property to a private residence - blending modern and traditional finishes and creating a light and airy home, ideal for family living and entertaining alike. Built of brick plinth with render under a pegtile roof with a more recent two storey Mansard roofed extension to the rear, the property has a mix of timber and UPVC windows with traditional single and double glazing.

A heavy timber door with glazed fanlight above, opens to a spacious entrance hall with stairs to the first floor and cloakroom/wc. The hall is flanked at the front with a large sitting room and study both with attractive plantation shutters. To the rear of the hall there is a walk through bootroom with bespoke cloister style seats and a well-fitted utility room. The superb open plan kitchen/dining room has bi-fold doors to the courtyard, extensive fitted wall and floor units, large island, walk-in breakfast cupboard, quartz worktops, double Belfast sink, Leisure Cookmaster electric range, Lamona fridge, freezer and dishwasher. The dining area has a pair of skylights and opens through to the family room with a single large skylight.

The first floor boasts a large galleried landing with airing and linen cupboards. There is a spacious principal bedroom and en-suite with striking views of the Cathedral tower and spire of St Mary’s church. There are four further double bedrooms (one en suite) and a spacious family bathroom. Accessed from the landing is a roof terrace with impressive rooftop views.
