Stucco-fronted five-bedroom townhouse with recently refurbished interiors on a historic and sought-after street

Entering the house on the raised ground floor, the front hall leads through into an impressive double reception room. A south-facing front window fills this space with light, while high ceilings and wooden floors add to the sense of space and calm.

The first floor is entirely occupied by the principal bedroom suite. It includes a bedroom, a bathroom with a shower and a bath, a corridor wardrobe and a pair of south-facing windows. Meanwhile, the second and third floors each contain two bedrooms and a shared bathroom.

The property was recently refurbished and decorated in a contemporary style, resulting in bright and spacious interiors.

The property has a paved rear garden with enough space for outdoor entertaining. Furthermore, its back door opens onto a shared communal garden. Finally, the front drive provides off-street parking.
