Why you’ll like it:
This peaceful one-way street is a real hidden gem, lined with charming period homes. From the moment you enter Robert Street, it’s clear that the layout has been carefully considered to suit modern living while retaining character.
Downstairs, the lower ground floor is bright and spacious thanks to front and rear light wells, making the large kitchen/diner and adjoining lounge/double bedroom feel inviting and airy.

The kitchen spans the full width of the house and offers excellent storage, ample worktop space, and room for a full-size dining table. A separate entrance and useful utility/cloak area add to the practicality – ideal for those who like to entertain or need flexible space.

On the raised ground floor, a second double bedroom is currently arranged as a home office or guest room, while the full family bathroom offers a bath with overhead shower. There’s also a handy additional room for storage, dressing, or even a snug reading nook.

The first floor is particularly impressive, with two further generous bedrooms. The front bedroom, stretching the full width of the house, is filled with light and retains period proportions, while the rear bedroom enjoys quiet, elevated views across the city’s rooftops.

Every room in the house has generous ceiling height, with large sash windows bringing in plenty of natural light. With potential to enhance further (subject to the usual consents), this home also benefits from scope to extend into the garden – as several neighbours have done.
