A distinctive red-brick period property offering a conversion of a handsome townhouse with retained characterful features. The interior design has seen the creation of stylish accommodation, currently presenting as an independent ground floor apartment and a first and second floor dwelling which offer the potential for further division into two selfcontained apartments. The ground floor apartment has two access points, one of which opens to a reception hall with striking Minton tiled flooring, whilst the other portal is directly into a sleek kitchen, with breakfast bar and double doors opening into a sitting room centred around a feature fireplace with marble surround. The principal bedroom has a fireplace focal point, and the apartment offers one further bedroom and a smart shower room.

A separate entrance gives access to the first and second floor apartments with a staircase rising to the first level accommodation which comprises a three bedroom abode, with modern kitchen and elegant drawing room featuring a decorative fireplace. An external door on the half-landing of the stairwell opens to a small outdoor terrace with wrought-iron railings. The stairway continues up to the top of the house where you have the second floor apartment where there is a further bedroom, a contemporary kitchen and sitting room, along with a well-appointed shower room.
