DESCRIPTION
On the market for the first time in over 22 years, a beautifully restored Grade II listed four-storey townhouse, thoughtfully extended and sympathetically presented to combine elegant period character with carefully integrated contemporary elements. The property retains a wealth of original architectural features and period detailing, while recent improvements have introduced modern comfort and practicality. Of particular note is the contemporary kitchen and adjoining utility room with integrated appliances, Lacanche stove and quartz worktops, designed to contrast with the historic fabric of the house while providing a stylish and highly functional space.
The accommodation is arranged over four floors and offers a versatile and well-balanced layout. The principal reception spaces include an elegant sitting room and formal dining room, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A morning room and a stunning light-filled summer room, a thoughtful addition to the property that connects beautifully with the garden. Upstairs are two generous bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, together with a beautiful family bathroom. The lower ground floor offers further flexible accommodation, currently arranged as a cinema room/study, which could equally serve as a third bedroom.
Externally, the property benefits from off-street parking to the front, an enchanting inner courtyard garden, ideal for alfresco entertaining and a pretty south-facing garden with a studio and plans approved for the erection of a substantial garden room to the far end.
Enjoying an excellent position overlooking the Royal Military Canal, in the desirable conservation area, the house is superbly located for local amenities, countryside walks and transport connections, making it a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful period home in a highly desirable setting.
For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
