DESCRIPTION 

Luscombe Maye is delighted to bring to market this charming four-bedroom Grade II listed townhouse dating from the early to mid 19th Century, combining elegant period architecture with versatile living accommodation. Arranged over three floors, the property offers a wonderful balance of generous reception space, character features and contemporary family living, with a particularly appealing sense of space and proportion throughout.

On entering the property, the welcoming hallway leads through to the dining/games room, a generous and versatile reception space ideal for entertaining, family gatherings or more informal everyday living. From here, the accommodation continues through to a spacious hallway leading upstairs and then on to the snug with a woodburner, providing a more intimate and comfortable space in which to relax. A ground floor cloakroom provides useful additional convenience, while the lovely original-style tiles at the base of the staircase add further character.

Beyond this is the impressive kitchen/dining room. The room offers ample space for both everyday dining and entertaining, together with a range of fitted units and useful preparation space and the room benefits from granite work tops and solid oak doors. A practical utility area and store provide valuable additional storage and household space. The courtyard can be accessed directly from the utility room, as well as from the passage leading from the front door.

The first floor provides the principal bedroom alongside an impressive drawing room. The principal bedroom benefits from a spacious bathroom with Jack and Jill access, featuring a beautiful roll-top cast iron bath with a shower over. The drawing room is particularly striking, offering excellent proportions, high ceilings and an abundance of natural light, while retaining the character and atmosphere expected of a property of this age and stature.

The second floor provides three further bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for family, guests or home working as required. A separate shower room serves this floor, comprising a shower, wash hand basin and WC.

Throughout the house, the accommodation retains a strong sense of period character, complemented by high ceilings, large sash windows, feature fireplaces and attractive original detailing. The reception rooms are particularly appealing, with well-proportioned interiors, plenty of natural light and a pleasing balance between historic character and comfortable modern living.

Externally, the property forms part of an attractive terrace of historic townhouses, with a handsome period façade. The property benefits from a courtyard accessed from both the utility room and the passageway leading from the front entrance, together with a further private walled garden offering views over the surrounding area. The garden is enhanced by a magnificent established wisteria, adding a particularly charming feature to the outside space.

Parking is available nearby, with the possibility of obtaining a resident’s parking permit for Kingsbridge Lane, subject to the relevant local authority arrangements.

Overall, this is a characterful and versatile Grade II listed townhouse, offering generous accommodation, attractive period features and delightful outside space, all within a convenient and historic town setting.
