"BEST AND FINAL OFFERS TO BE RECEIVED BY FRIDAY 25TH JANUARY 1PM A significant and impressive Grade II listed Regency townhouse fronting Pembroke Road with the benefit of a lock up double garage and off street parking for two cars to the rear. The property further benefits from two attractively presented landscaped gardens to the front and rear.

Summary of Accommodation Built circa 1830 the house is currently arranged as three self-contained flats over four floors, with the possibility, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents to return the property to what could be a glorious 6/7 bedroom family townhouse. Although the property requires renovation and general modernisation it still retains many of its original and elegant features such as attractive ceiling cornices, sash windows (some shuttered,) panelled doors with architrave surround to name but a few. The ground and first floors are currently arranged as a self contained maisonette. The original front door is reached off a part glazed entrance portico and opens into a central reception hall with attractive staircase leading to the first floor landing. A door opening beneath the staircase leads to the lower ground floor accommodation. Undoubtedly, one of the main features of the reception hall is the original timber parquet flooring that runs throughout as well as the attractive ceiling cornice. There are two well proportioned reception rooms reached off the reception hall that enjoy views over the front and rear gardens. The rear reception room previously used as a bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with WC and built in shelved and hanging wardrobes. A later side extension to the house provides for a sizable 39.0 length kitchen/diner that includes two velux roof lights giving a light and airy feeling throughout. There is a range of base and wall units to one end with a four ring gas hob and Whirlpool double oven and grill. In addition there is a useful pantry cupboard and door opening onto the rear garden. There is ample room for a dining table and chairs with a separate raised soft seating area to one end which includes built in bookshelves and door opening to the entrance hall. A separate WC /utility room to the rear of the reception hall also includes a door opening into the stairwell leading to the top floor flat.

The first floor accommodation is arranged off a central landing with two storage cupboards, one of which has a stud partition concealing what we understand to be the original staircase leading to the upper floors. A further cupboard on the landing provides for good storage. The first floor accommodation is currently arranged as two bedrooms but could provide for a magnificent reception/drawing room with full height sash windows enjoying a south westerly facing aspect and opening onto a balcony with wrought iron hand rail. A door opening to one end leads to a dressing room and ensuite bathroom. A further double bedroom/potential reception room overlooks the rear garden and has a built in shower cubicle with separate ensuite WC.

The lower ground floor accommodation is arranged as a self contained flat and has a door opening onto the rear garden and sunken patio. The original staircase reached off the reception hall remains and provides the natural link when returned to a single family dwelling. The accommodation at this level is arranged off a central hallway with WC and understairs cupboard. The kitchen has a shuttered sash window overlooking the front garden. There is a vaulted bathroom and door opening to a former scullery/coal house with internal stone steps (currently not in use) which once led to the kitchen/diner at hall floor. Additional accommodation includes two further bedrooms with shuttered sash window overlooking the front and rear gardens. Both bedrooms have good storage facilities. A useful walk in former butlers pantry still retains the original cold slate food shelving. The top floor is arranged as a self contained two bedroom apartment which is accessed off the rear garden via a carpeted stairwell.

A large reception/dining room overlooks the front garden and Pembroke Road and has a separate kitchen/breakfast room reached off an inner hallway. There is also a bathroom with roof light providing good natural daylight.

Externally, the house benefits from attractively presented front and rear gardens reached off Pembroke Road and Buckingham Vale. The front garden (approx. 13.0 x 11.0m) is predominantly laid to level lawn with well stocked flower borders surrounding. The mature trees and hedge line provide good privacy from Pembroke Road. A stone pillared entrance with wrought iron gates opens onto a flagstone pathway leading to the front door and side pathway. The rear garden (to include the garage and hardstanding totals approx. 13.5m x 12.0m) and is partly laid to level lawn with a sunken patio leading to the lower ground floor flat. A shallow flight of steps link to a pathway running down the side of the house as well as to an internal stairwell leading to the Top Floor Flat. The rear part of the garden and garaging/hardstanding is reached through a rose covered pergola. The rear garden is again well stocked and maintained.

The property benefits from a detached lock-up garage measuring 16.06 x 15.06 with full width up and over metal door opening onto neighbouring Buckingham Vale. In addition there is an area of hardstanding to the side of the garage (measuring approx. 19.02 x 16.0) allowing for two cars. A sealed wall opening with side gate opens onto Buckingham Vale.
