DESCRIPTION
The property for sale is a delightful second floor apartment of great character, which forms
part of a classical Georgian stone building, believed to have been completed around the early
1820’s. Listed category A, as being of historic and architectural interest, the building is
arranged over four floors, and sits beneath a pitched and slated roof.
The bright beautifully presented interior has been modernised to a high quality standard to
provide a most comfortable and appealing central residence, ideal for modern day living and
entertaining. The main accommodation is entered from the elegant reception hall, and
includes the lovely bow-ended sitting room with an original fireplace surround and dining
area, three double bedrooms, a well fitted and equipped kitchen/breakfast room, and a
superb fully tiled contemporary bathroom, with a three piece white suite plus a wide base,
curved shower. In addition, there is a luxury shower room, recently created by the present
owners.
The property displays an abundance of original period features, which are now complimented
by tasteful decoration, and extensive areas of sanded and sealed timber flooring. The corner
location incorporates windows with several different aspects, including roof tops views on the
east side, towards the dramatic copper dome of West Register House in Charlotte Square,
and south to the Castle. The apartment benefits from gas fired central heating, a security
entry phone system, and an ample supply of power points. Residents within the building have
access to a raised area of garden to the rear of the building.
The sale will include fitted carpets, curtains, light fittings, and kitchen appliances.
