A fine example of an early Victorian property, sympathetically converted in 2008 into private luxury apartments. Arranged over two floors, this two/three bedroom first floor apartment has recently undergone refurbishment. Many of the rooms are freshly decorated, some with new carpets.

The building is entered via a security video phone system leading to a communal reception. The staircase winds to the first floor providing access to two of the first floor apartments. 8 Clarence House has a welcoming hallway, which is flooded with natural light and the high ceilings, plaster mouldings and sash windows help capture this period home wonderfully. The sheer scale of the apartment soon becomes apparent as you move from room to room. Of particular note is the kitchen and utility room, both finished to a high standard and large enough to accommodate a dining table. All rooms are of good proportions, with the first floor enjoying two bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities. The third bedroom, located on the lower floor could be used as a home office/study

A carriage driveway provides access to the communal parking areas, with an allocated parking space and visitor spaces available. A seating area is adjacent to the historic wall, with further seating to the rear of the building.
