Property description
Description: The owners of this splendid four storey late Victorian town house have with care and attention to detail blended modern 21st century comforts with period charm and character. Fireplaces have been restored and some original sash windows with coloured lights, deep architraves and skirting‘s along with plaster cornicing‘s have been retained. The cellar rooms offer clear potential for those with hobbies in mind or even for more living space if required. The two reception rooms and fitted breakfast kitchen balance well with the four excellent double bedrooms, the four piece bathroom and two cloakrooms, one on the ground floor and one at first floor level. To complete the picture outside is a private well tended courtyard garden with adjoining parking for one/two cars.
