" 5 Alexander Buildings is an elegant Grade II listed town house of fine proportions, having been comprehensively refurbished by the current owners and offers generous, tastefully presented accommodation arranged over 5 floors with the benefit of a separate, independently accessed one bedroom studio apartment. The property retains a wealth of period detail which blend beautifully with lovely contemporary finishes.

The property is entered to the front at ground floor level via a pretty ornamental gated par-terre garden. The impressive ground floor accommodation comprises a stunning formal sitting room to the rear with a Bath stone surround fire place and wood burning stove, intricate period corning detail and a handsome floor to ceiling sash window overlooking the gardens. To the front there is a study/snug which could double as a 5th bedroom.

On the first floor there is a magnificent master bedroom with a charming aspect to the rear with a range of wall to wall fitted wardrobes, a period fire place and a well-appointed en-suite wet room. To the front there is a further generous double bedroom.

The top floor accommodation comprises 2 additional large double bedrooms, both with period fireplaces, along with a spacious well-appointed family bath and shower room.

Stairs lead down from the ground floor entrance hall to the lower ground floor where there is an impressive, well-equipped open plan bespoke Neptune kitchen with a large central island and a feature bay fronted dining area with views over the rear garden. Double doors lead from the kitchen into a playroom which overlooks the front courtyard.

There is also a separate spacious vaulted utility room and guest cloakroom, with a door that leads onto the front courtyard.

At garden level and enjoying access from both the lower ground floor hallway and garden there is a lovely one bedroom studio apartment with a well equipped kitchen and bathroom, which would make an ideal Airbnb investment opportunity or a wonderful work from home space or granny/nanny annexe.

The property benefits from a south facing paved sun terrace, and beautiful walled garden which has 2 level lawned areas with a wealth of mature shrubs and trees. To the rear with gated access from the garden there is a large free-standing parking area for up to 3 cars that has the potential, subject to the necessary planning permissions to create a garage and annexe.
