A look into the 1871 census shows shipbuilders, major employers and local dignitaries all living side by side within this impressive terrace. Grade 2 listed in 1996, this will help to preserve the visual appeal and period style of the terrace and we would expect this to also enhance and protect values moving forward. The property itself is set over lower ground, above ground, first and second floors with the lower ground accessed directly from the front or via a staircase inside the house and comprising its own entrance hall with a formal lounge leading off with impressive fireplace and a separate large dining kitchen with an Aga oven at its centre and walk-in pantry and utility.On the ground floor there is a formal entrance hall with period staircase, 2 grand reception rooms with 11FT high plaster ceilings, beautiful fireplaces and large windows. There's also a wc to the rear lobby which provides access to the rear garden and garage. On the first floor there is a bathroom on the half landing and 3 bedrooms. On the second floor there are 3 more bedrooms. All rooms are very well proportioned.Externally to the front there's a private garden with shrubs, trees and lawn and similar to the rear with patio, lawn, various shrubs and access to a double garage with remote door access from the rear. There's also parking to the private road at the front. The property will appeal to buyers who appreciate the opportunity to live in a large, spacious, historically important home full of character and period charm, for a relatively modest price compared to newer-built homes around the city.Viewing arrangements can be made by contacting our local office.
