A rare and valuable addition for such a central city property. FUTURE POTENTIAL – ROOM TO GROW The property also benefits from lapsed planning permission for a first-floor extension to create a third bedroom (planning reference 21/01447/FUL), offering exciting scope for buyers looking to enhance and future-proof the home, subject to re-approval. Agent’s Note: There is a shared pedestrian right of access to the rear of the property in favour of No. 7 Bernard Street. IN SUMMARY This is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful city cottage in an enviable central location, with the added bonus of outbuilding space and future extension potential.
