Description
Occupying the lower two floors of an elegant Georgian townhouse, this beautifully presented apartment is attributed to John Wood the Younger and dates from around 1770. Accessed via the impressive main front door and communal entrance hall, a short flight of stairs leads down to the property’s private entrance on the garden level.
Inside, the accommodation is generous and well arranged, with a lovely sense of scale and light throughout. The heart of the home is the superb open plan kitchen/living/dining room, an elegant space with an open fireplace, working shutters and a wonderful westerly outlook over the private lawned garden and terrace. Adjacent is the well-designed kitchen with an island unit which has an integrated sink and boiling water tap. The kitchen is fitted with an AGA and there is space for a freestanding American fridge/freezer and there is direct access to the garden.
The master bedroom sits at the front of the property and features original shutters, fitted wardrobes and a smart en suite shower room.
On the lower ground floor are two further double bedrooms, each with outlooks to the lower courtyard and sharing the family bathroom. The third bedroom leads directly out to the lower courtyard garden. This level also includes a useful study and a storage vaults, the storage vault has planning permission to turn into a bedroom/study, with more light and improved ventilation.
A practical utility lobby is accessed from the main hall and provides an external route to the front of the building, linking through to the stone steps that rise to street level.
The private rear garden is a particular highlight. Enjoying a sunny westerly aspect, it offers a tranquil green space to enjoy. Landscaped with a neat lawn and a generous raised terrace, it is enclosed by a combination of natural screening and mostly walled boundaries, making it ideal for both families and pets. There is planning permission to build a “garden room” outside the back door into the garden.
