The property

This most impressive Grade A-listed Georgian townhouse by James Gillespie Graham (Circa 1822) exudes immense character and charm. The Home report is available via the ESPC web site. It retains many fine features including original fireplaces, working shutters, ornate cornice work and a wonderful gothic domed flagstone reception complete with a classic fanlight. Arranged over three levels, the versatile layout (234 sqm) will easily adapt to suit the ever-changing needs of modern life. An elegant sitting room on the ground floor has two tall windows, intricate cornicing and an original black marble fireplace with log-burning stove set on a slate hearth. There are also two bedrooms (one with 2 walk-in stores) at this level. Downstairs is a generously proportioned family kitchen/dining room (with Rayburn), a double bedroom, study, wet room, store and a spacious period style conservatory extension opens out to the garden. A stone cantilever staircase rises to the top floor which benefits from a large decorative cupola allowing natural light to flood in. The original drawing room is stunning having triple windows and a working open fireplace. Two further bedrooms and the family bathroom are located here. Gas-fired central heating is complemented by a log burning stove and a working open fire. The property has original 12-pane windows whilst the conservatory is double glazed. Accessible from street level, a gated staircase descends to the paved courtyard. There are classic black railings, 3 under-pavement cellars (one fully lined) and an alternative entrance door into the property.
