Elsewhere on the ground floor is a spacious and very bright rear facing craft room.

A large & light front-facing dining room gives access to a beautiful fully equipped kitchen with central isle with all white goods included. The wonderful rear decked dining area, which is South facing, and has stunning views over the rear garden and City, is perfect for those sunny mornings when you want to just enjoy a coffee while watching the bustling city go about its business, from afar. It’s particularly beautiful at dusk when all the city lights are twinkling.

In keeping with the period build of this home, a stunning traditional stairway with timber balustrade and beautifully restored stain glass leaded arch shaped depicted window, gives access to the roomy upper floor level.

Each room in this property is large - there’s no compromise on size here. The beautiful master bedroom suite allows access to an en-suite shower room and walk in dressing room with extensive storage. Family bathroom which hosts a walk in double shower and bath.

Three further double bedrooms offer the comfort that you’d expect from such a high-end home, with the third bedroom showing a beautiful ornate fireplace. Storage is plentiful in each room.

From the upstairs landing there is a stairwell that gives access to this incredibly unique all-encompassing Cinema room/Billiards room with stunning views over the city and South. The upper window formation around all four elevations allows for a unique and beautiful light formation to pour into the room. Full cinematic equipment is built in, allowing the billiard room to become a superb cinema room.
