This remarkable dwelling beautifully preserves its period features whilst providing elegant living accommodation.

This flows effortlessly into a dining room through an atrium, a double height space that brings dramatic light into the centre of the open plan ground floor. Off the kitchen area is a rear porch with a storage area and access to the bathroom which features a unique custom made copper shower and a standalone bathtub.
