Description

This maisonette garden apartment is truly one-of-a-kind. From the moment you walk in the front door you a greeted by an abundance of period features. The drawing room has original floorboards which reflect the south-facing light flooding in from the large sash windows. There is terrace on this level accessed from the drawing-room that provides the perfect space for morning coffee's in the sunshine. Conveniently the kitchen is tucked away on this floor negating the need for constantly walking up and downstairs. The accommodation is arranged over two floors with the addition of a mezzanine floor, for an occasional 3rd bedroom or child's den. The drawing room is the full width of the townhouse with a period fireplace and dresser. This leads through to the recently replaced kitchen, cleverly designed with attractive stone worksurfaces. Downstairs is the shower room, main bedroom, and occasional 2nd bedroom or dressing room. Both rooms have their own access to the garden, the main bedroom leads through to a conservatory then onto the garden. This layout works really well and has been used as a craft room, sewing room not to mention bright and light day sitting room. The garden is in an elevated position as it sits above Walcot Street overlooking the city yet completely private. It is full of colour with mature shrubs and borders enclosed by period stone walls and box hedging.
