The house lies on the south side of this popular road and offers excellent accommodation with a south-facing walled garden. It was built in the 1880's and offers well-proportioned rooms with sash windows affording very good natural light. The raised ground floor has an open plan sitting room with a woodburning stove, parquet floor and a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. Steps lead down to the lower ground floor kitchen/breakfast room, which has a range of units with a central island and high-quality Siemens appliances. There is a larder, utility cupboard and WC. The rear is fully glazed with doors to the garden.
The first floor has the main bedroom with a dressing room and ensuite bath/shower room. The dressing room could be converted back to a bedroom. The second floor has two bedrooms and a bath/shower room, and there is a further bedroom with ensuite WC on the top floor. There are lovely views from this room over the 'garden square' and towards the city centre.
The garden is approached from either the side of the house or the kitchen. There is a paved dining area with steps up to the lawn, which is flanked by well-stocked herbaceous borders. There is a paved dining area and, to the rear, vegetable beds, a greenhouse and a garden shed. There is off street parking at the front for two cars.
