The property exudes a unique charm with many period features apparent throughout. Built in the late 1830's, the house measures approximately 3,176 sqft and is arranged over three floors with generous proportions throughout. The house offers extremely versatile accommodation after being subdivided in the 1940's and again in the 1970's to its current arrangement to include a five bedroom main house, with the advantage of two one bedroom self-contained apartments. A perfect arrangement for a multi-generational family, or for homeowners looking for additional income. Additionally the apartments have the potential to be reincorporated to return the property to its original footprint.

The principal pillared entrance opens to a charming porchway with original stained glass windows and a tiled floor, with space for cloak hanging and boots that opens into the welcoming hallway. From the hallway the main sitting room is located to the left side of the house, and exudes the original character charm of the property with a large bay French door window, high ceilings, the original floor boards, cast iron radiators and a beautiful ornate fireplace. A southerly facing room, there is a wonderful sense of light and space. A walkthrough pantry room links to the bespoke contemporary kitchen located to the rear of the house, which is again a bright and spacious room that enjoys an outlook to a rear courtyard and features a Mandarin Stone floor and a Smeg double oven. On the ground floor there is also a downstairs WC and utility room. From the hallway an old doorway is blocked off to the existing ground floor flat, but could easily be reopened to adjoin both parts of the property.

The original staircase climbs up to a first floor split landing that feeds to the front and the rear of the house. To the front, the principal bedroom enjoys similar proportions to the sitting room, as well as the southerly aspect and views across the city from a bay window. There is good storage space with a large walk in wardrobe, with the room also benefiting from an ensuite shower room. The second bedroom is adjacent and features an original fireplace and a built in wardrobe. To the rear of the house the well-appointed family bathroom is located next to a study/office room or possible further bedroom. The second floor spans the whole width of the house and offers three further bedrooms, the largest of which offering potential for a further en-suite. All three rooms on this floor command superb views across the city and to the countryside beyond.

Separately accessed via their own individual entrances from the garden, there are two one bedroom apartments located on the ground and first floor of the right hand portion of the house. Both have been actively rented over the years by the current owners, with a current (2023) potential annual income of roughly £18,500 pa. Both properties have generously sized sitting rooms, with separate kitchens and a decent sized double bedroom. As previously mentioned, both apartments offer versatile income and accommodation options.

Gardens and Grounds - Outside, a secure gated entrance opens to a bricked driveway with parking for three vehicles. Mature garden borders lead to the pillared main entrance, with a path leading to the side and rear of the property to a unique garden that offers various sun traps and a peaceful and tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of the City. South and easterly facing, the carefully managed garden incorporates fig, pear and apple trees, with a manicured lawn and mature flora throughout. A lovely bricked terrace at the end of the garden includes a summer house and seated arbour that enjoys the sun throughout most of the day. Nestled away, the owners have created a superb hidden vegetable garden that houses two garden sheds and raised vegetable borders. As mentioned, towards the rear of the property, there is a delightful courtyard accessed from the kitchen that is perfect for a morning coffee.
