Description

A fantastic family home occupying a highly sought-after and convenient city location, this deceptively spacious bay-fronted property offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors, together with a particularly attractive south-facing garden and views across the city.

A staircase continues to the second floor where there is a further double bedroom with its own en-suite shower room, making this an ideal arrangement for older children, guests or those requiring a little more privacy.

Outside, the property benefits from a lovely south-facing rear garden, which is well stocked with a variety of established plants and shrubs. A raised patio provides an excellent space for outdoor dining and enjoying the sunshine, whilst rear access adds further convenience. The garden offers a surprisingly private and attractive outdoor space considering the property's central city setting.

Overall, this is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful period home in a highly convenient location, combining generous accommodation, attractive original features, a fantastic family kitchen and a sunny garden, whilst being ideally placed for access to the many amenities and facilities the city has to offer.
