Description

This wonderful Grade II listed Regency townhouse presents a rare and exciting opportunity for those with a passion for historic properties and a vision for restoration. While the property does require a full renovation, including some structural remedial works, the potential it offers is unparalleled. The charm and character of its period features – from the elegant sash windows to the original fireplaces and high ceilings – are waiting to be brought back to life.

This is a true blank canvas, offering the perfect chance to create a bespoke, timeless interior that reflects your personal taste, while maintaining the integrity and beauty of its Regency roots. Whether you envision a contemporary take on classic design, or wish to embrace the grandeur of the period in its entirety, this home provides the space and scope to craft something truly unique.

There is also the opportunity (subject to the usual consents) to reimagine the layout and flow of the home, with the spacious accommodation spread over two floors and a good-sized cellar. The welcoming entrance hall, with its airy feel, is the ideal starting point for designing an interior that combines modern comfort with historic charm. While the renovation journey may be significant, the end result promises to be a spectacular home full of character, history, and your personal touch. This is not just a property – it's a project, and for the right person, a truly wonderful opportunity to create something special from the ground up.
