Description - 52 Bannawell Street is a substantial period townhouse forming the middle of an attractive 3-house mid 19th-century terrace. The property offers spacious and highly versatile accommodation arranged over several levels, with generous room proportions, high ceilings and considerable character. Now in need of refurbishment throughout, the house provides an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to restore and modernise the property to their own specification while retaining and enhancing its period features.

Accommodation - The front door opens into a long entrance hall, with a particularly generous sitting room positioned to the front of the property. The next room along, currently used as a bedroom, is a versatile space with high ceilings and could equally lend itself to use as a reception room, home office or further living accommodation. From the hallway, stairs rise and turn towards the upper floors, with a shower room positioned off the half landing. A separate staircase descends two steps from the entrance level to a well-presented bathroom, before continuing down to the lower ground floor. The lower ground floor provides a generous sitting room, offering a good amount of living space, together with the kitchen and separate pantry. Off the kitchen, which has original slate flooring, is a garden room leading to a useful utility area, housing the boiler and providing space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and generous storage space. A door from this level provides direct access to the rear garden. The upper floors provide the remaining bedroom accommodation, with the split-level arrangement contributing to the character and flexibility of the house, the upper floor beyond the shower room provides a further two bedrooms. From the landing, a timber staircase leads to a substantial loft area, which benefits from Velux windows and offers considerable potential for further use or conversion, subject to obtaining any necessary consents.

Outside - To the rear is an enclosed garden, arranged over several levels. Immediately adjoining the house is a courtyard area, with outside original 19th century WC, with steps rising to a lawned section of garden and further steps to a terrace above the garden room. Beyond the lawn is a pleasant veranda/seating area, which enjoys the evening sun and provides an attractive space for outdoor seating and entertaining. Doors from the veranda lead to the spacious garage and convenient carport area, accessed from Lakeside at the rear, providing off-road parking for two cars. The different levels and areas of the garden offer considerable scope for further landscaping and improvement.
