About this property

  • Columbus House is an impressive, detached period residence set within approximately 2.5 acres of beautifully maintained communal grounds. Originally constructed in 1876 for a Royal Navy Commander and later home to Patrick Vans Agnew, the property was sympathetically extended by Future Heritage in 1999, successfully preserving the elegance, grandeur and architectural character of this distinguished historic building.

    The apartment is accessed at first-floor level, opening into a welcoming reception hall with stairs rising to the second-floor landing with study area and access to the private roof terrace. The well-balanced accommodation comprises a generous dual aspect 24-foot sitting room with an impressive bay window framing the surrounding views, a well-appointed kitchen, and two substantial double bedrooms, both benefiting from en-suite bath or shower facilities.

    The mature communal gardens are a particular feature, originally landscaped by a former owner of the house and now providing an attractive mix of established trees, flowering shrubs and areas of wildflower planting. The property further benefits from dedicated off-street parking.
