An elegant five-bedroom end of terrace home, enviably located on St Paul’s Square overlooking the central gardens. Beautifully proportioned rooms, fine period detailing and flexible layout

Description

An elegant end-of-terrace home overlooking one of the city’s most prestigious garden squares.

Perfectly positioned on the highly sought-after St Paul’s Square, this handsome five-bedroom period property combines elegant architectural detail with versatile accommodation and a wonderful outlook across the central gardens, all within easy reach of the city centre.

Set back from the square, the house is approached via a central path flanked by neat lawns, leading to an inviting entrance and welcoming hallway with a tiled floor.

The ground floor provides a series of beautifully proportioned reception rooms, rich in period detail. The sitting room, with its deep bay window, ornate cornicing, and feature fireplace, enjoys views across the square. The formal dining room echoes this elegance, creating the perfect setting for entertaining. The spacious kitchen is both practical and characterful, complete with a range cooker, fitted cabinetry, and an adjoining utility room. A guest cloakroom with generous storage completes this floor.

The first floor is accessed via an elegant spindle staircase, framed by a striking leaded arched window. The principal bedroom is a particular highlight, with triple sash windows overlooking the square and the benefit of a private en suite shower room. Two further rooms on this floor are currently arranged as reception spaces, demonstrating the flexibility of the layout.

On the second floor, three further bedrooms are bright and well-proportioned, complemented by a family bathroom and a versatile dressing room/store.

Externally, the property enjoys a rare and valuable asset for a city square home: a large detached garage, accessed via the private courtyard garden. The garden itself has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a tranquil retreat, with raised beds, a garden pond, and a paved terrace offering ample space for seating and outdoor dining.
