Overview

21 Napier Road is a magnificent period property with more than 6,000 square feet of impressive accommodation and various handsome character details. The property is set on a generous corner plot allowing for tall bay sash windows on two aspects and displays imposing stone and brick elevations. Inside there are four floors of accommodation, featuring nine bedrooms and several generously-proportioned reception rooms. Some of the floors have been divided into separate dwellings but offer the flexibility to reorganise the living space according to the buyer’s requirements.

Entering the property, the welcoming vestibule has original tiled flooring and leads to the main reception hall, with its grand wooden staircase leading to the upper levels. The ground floor has a comfortable sitting room with polished wooden flooring, a large bay window and ornate cornicing, as well as a large, open kitchen and breakfast room, while the main reception room is the stunning 38ft great hall. This ballroom-style reception hall has recently been used as a chapel and features a full-height bay window to one aspect, with further tall sash windows adding to the sensation of space and light.

The lower level provides four comfortable double bedrooms and a sitting room, which also features an impressive bay window overlooking the garden. A kitchen and a bathroom with an over-bath shower provide the lower level with the potential for use as a self-contained apartment.

Upstairs, the first floor has a grand, 25ft drawing room, three bedrooms and two kitchens, as well as a family bathroom, while a further bathroom, kitchen and two generous double bedrooms, as well as storage space. While the house already offers extensive accommodation with a high degree of flexibility, subject to the necessary permissions there may also be the opportunity to extend the property to the south, providing further potential to create a collection of high-end apartments.
