An elegantly proportioned Georgian upper townhouse arranged over three floors and presented in immaculate condition.

Description

15 Melville Street is an outstanding, elegantly proportioned Georgian double upper flat, dating from 1820, arranged over two generous floors and presented in immaculate condition. Fully refurbished by Sundial Properties just over a decade ago, the home has been finished to an exemplary standard, marrying modern comfort and convenience with beautifully preserved period character. Original features, including working shutters, astragal windows, and intricate plaster cornicing, are complemented by high-quality contemporary fittings throughout. With both north- and south-facing aspects, the property enjoys exceptional natural light at all times of day, enhanced by the striking cupola which crowns the original stone staircase, creating a dramatic focal point.

A private front door at street level opens into a welcoming vestibule and entrance hall, leading to the first floor. Here, the accommodation flows beautifully, beginning with a magnificent sitting room. This impressive space, with its graceful curved walls, elegant fireplace, and tall sash windows, provides a perfect setting for entertaining or relaxing in style. The spacious, well-appointed kitchen, accessible from both the hall and the sitting room, offers extensive wall and base cabinetry, a substantial central island, and a breakfast bar, making it a true hub for family living. A separate dining room or TV snug can be accessed from the kitchen and a stylish WC completes this level.

The second floor is flooded with daylight from the central cupola, creating a bright and airy atmosphere throughout. It comprises four generously sized double bedrooms, two of which, including the principal suite, enjoy modern en suite shower rooms. The remaining bedrooms are served by a further well-appointed family bathroom. Each room retains its period charm while offering the comfort expected in a modern home.

Set in a prestigious location within easy reach of the city’s finest shops, restaurants, cultural venues, and transport links, 15 Melville Street offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a home of rare quality and character.
