5 bedroom terraced house for sale

An elegant Grade II Listed, authentic Georgian House with Parking enjoying beautifully proportioned Rooms throughout with accommodation extending to approximately 2800 square feet arranged over Four Floors including Cellars, with superb potential to convert into additional living space subject to any necessary consents.
Most unusually for this style of property on The Downs is that it enjoys the rare and valuable feature of Off Street Parking for three cars positioned to the rear of the property with a delightful Garden beyond.
The property is positioned within The Downs Conservation Area in an historic row of beautiful Georgian properties and this particular property is one of the largest of its type.
The location could hardly be more convenient with the facilities of the Town Centre literally on the doorstep with the Metrolink being within a five minutes walk.
The property has been beautifully maintained by the current owners who have been careful to retain many of the original features to include; 9'9'' high intricate corniced ceilings, low sill, multi paned Georgian sash windows, impressive original or reproduction fireplaces and a spindle balustrade staircase with turned banister rising through the floors.
The property offers excellent family living space with effectively Three Reception Rooms to the Ground Floor in addition to the Kitchen and Five Bedrooms over Two Upper Floors served by Three Bath/Shower Rooms including a wonderful 300 square foot Principal Bedroom with En Suite.
It is exceptionally rare for a property of this type to be offered for sale with Parking and as such we are expecting the property to attract a great deal of interest.
An internal inspection will reveal a wonderful home with true charm and character.
