Location
Substantial Victorian Town House with parking and annexe.
This handsome and immaculately maintained three-storey town house is believed to date from 1880 and is constructed predominantly of red brick under a slate tiled roof. The classic Victorian architecture is echoed internally and the current owner has taken great care gradually restoring the property, ensuring that its original period features have been retained. The property includes original Victorian floorboards and doors, sash windows, picture rails, cornicing and original fireplaces.
The entrance hall retains the original ornate Victorian floor tiles. It offers access to the principal rooms, including a generous light-filled, dual-aspect drawing room with a deep bay window and a marble fireplace. The adjacent dual-aspect dining room has French doors onto a sheltered courtyard garden. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room has a range of shaker style units, a double sink, integrated appliances such as dishwasher, induction hob, double oven, fridge and freezer, and an original full-height Victorian dresser. There are French doors onto the terrace. The basement has been converted into a home office/snug.
The light-filled dual-aspect principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms on the first floor, both with their own shower rooms. On the second floor is a generous dual-aspect bedroom, with stunning views across the roof-tops of the city to the Cathedral. There are two further bedrooms on this floor and a family bathroom.
The ground floor annexe has a double bedroom, with French doors onto the terrace and an en suite shower room.
Outside
The property has parking for three cars behind wooden bi-fold gates from the road. There are also residents and visitors parking permits available for additional vehicles.
The garden is low maintenance, with pretty paved terraces and a screened-off area to one side of the gravel drive housing two sheds.

I love this property, it has been beautifully maintained throughout with great care taken to retain and restore some of its character and has one of the best views I've seen over the City from the principal bedroom in a long time.
