Description

This is a fine example of a Georgian terraced townhouse offering charming and flexible family accommodation on four floors. Many of the original period features have been retained while the house has been significantly upgraded throughout over the last year making it ideal for modern day requirements.

At ground floor level a welcoming stone flagged entrance hall leads to the sitting room with marble mantelpiece and two windows to Danube Street. Next door lies the beautifully appointed dining kitchen, with electric Aga. A corridor with a WC leads to the rear door opening directly to the garden.

An elegant stone stair crowned by a delightful recently replaced cupola rises to the first floor landing off which lies the elegant drawing room with marble mantelpiece. It has three full height windows and a balcony overlooking Danube Street. The spacious principle bedroom is also located on this level and benefits from a walk-in wardrobe as well as a delightful view over the rear garden. There is also a luxurious family bathroom overlooking the garden. A further stair rises to the second floor where there are three charming double bedrooms and a further family bathroom.

The stone stairs leads to the lower level, with a useful utility room at the mid-level. At lower ground floor level there is an additional comfortable double bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and a shower room adjacent. Here there is direct access from the front basement area to this level, meaning it could be used as self-contained guest accommodation. There is a stone flagged courtyard to the front with three dry-lined under pavement cellars providing valuable additional storage space, while two of them are used for a home gym.

To the rear there is a charming terraced west facing walled garden, with delightful mature planting providing an abundance of colour for much of the year. There are three terraces providing a wonderful place to sit out and enjoy the sunlight at various stages of the day.
