The Property

As you approach the property, the front elevation makes a fantastic first impression: A commanding three-story height adorned with elegant sash windows, and boasting a gorgeous paint colour that hints this is not your average property inside.

There are two front entrances, but we’ll begin our property tour at the one leading into the living room.

A warm glow emanates from the inset living flame gas fire, casting a soft, flickering light that dances across the walls.

In the internal hallway, a majestic staircase ascends, adorned with ornate handrails and intricate balustrades, immediately drawing the eye as the focal point of the space. Suspended gracefully amidst the twists and turns of the staircase, a striking feature pendant light hangs, casting its glow upon every intricate detail. The juxtaposition of this contemporary and sleek light fixture against the architectural grandeur of the historic staircase creates a captivating visual harmony.

The kitchen stands out as my favourite room, boasting finishes that are sure to impress even the most discerning of buyers. From the exquisite cabinetry adorned with brass handles to the luxurious composite stone marble worktops, every detail has been carefully considered.

The dining room offers a door leading out to Chapel Street, enhancing accessibility and connection to the outdoors.
