Entering the house via the front door there is a galleried entrance hall with staircase to the lower level. 

To the front of the house is a beautiful drawing room with twin sash windows, period shutters and fine original cornicing.  Centre to the room is a period marble fireplace to one side of which are built-in shelves with cupboards beneath. The room is filled with light and has stunning views of the Royal Crescent. 

The kitchen/dining room to the rear enjoys views out to the park and allotments behind. It is beautifully fitted with bespoke Plain English joinery, marble worktops and a tongue and groove splashback with shelving above.
