Description

Number 26 New King Street is a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse in a street of similar terraced properties, including one which is now the Herschel Museum of Astronomy. It's an attractive building, with a classic, columned portico framing the front door and large panelled windows to each floor.
Inside, an elegant hallway has period architectural details including an archway and curved dado rail. There are two good sized living rooms on this floor (currently arranged as one room); both rooms have fireplaces (one working) and several built-in cupboards.
The lower ground floor has good-height ceilings and is light, thanks to its dual aspect windows. The dining room faces south, has a window and doors to the garden, while the kitchen has two large windows and a glass-panelled door onto the front courtyard.
The kitchen is packed with historical features: Flagstone floor, original stove (next to the newer gas aga) and floor-to-ceiling dresser. There's an island unit with breakfast bar at the centre of the room, a double ceramic sink at the courtyard window, with worktops and storage units either side, and a door to a utility area and storage in the pristine, tanked vault. At the rear of this floor, there's a shower room and WC.
On the first floor, two generous bedrooms have interconnecting doors. The larger room is currently set up as another living space; it has a fireplace with alcoves either side, perfect for storage.
The second floor is another light and bright space - the large windows on the hallway half landings and in all the rooms give this family home a relaxing feel. There's a bedroom and luxe bathroom here with a roll top bath, separate shower and two washbasins and mirrors, side by side. The third floor has a spacious landing and two further bedrooms.
A small, front courtyard is paved and perfect for easy access from the kitchen to the laundry area or an outside seating area. The south-facing, walled, rear garden is accessed through the dining room. A paved dining terrace is close to the house, a path flows across the lawn to a raised border at the rear where there's a gate out to a council-owned carpark (for which there is a waiting list, or alternatively, there is zoned parking on New King Street).
