This modernised late Georgian Grade II listed house was built 1836-37 as part of a listed terrace of houses. It offers beautifully proportioned and designed living space across the bottom two floors with access from both floors to a 77sqm / 830sqft south-facing landscaped garden leading to an exterior dining area and a 10sqm / 110sqft office at the rear. The upper two floors have two spacious double bedrooms with generous storage space and a bathroom.
The house was meticulously restored in 2009 by bere:architects whose ethos is focused on low-energy Passive House design. Achieving a 75 score/EPC C rating for a Grade II listed period house is extremely rare and requires unique expertise and significant resources. In 2013 a Garden Office was added and in 2024 the kitchen was redone with a new marble island at its centre. It has double-glazing throughout, a solar cell heated hot water system, a beautiful green roof and insulation throughout. An additional bathroom, planning permission was given in 2009 but not built, could be added to the second floor subject to planning permission.
