Known as the ‘Blue House’, this is the first time it has been on the market for 2 decades. Built circa 1830 towards the tail end of the reign of George IV, this property is listed under the Planning Act 1990 (List Entry Number: 1104400) “for its special architectural and historic interest, warranting every effort to preserve it.” This fine example of Georgian architecture is characterised by its pleasing symmetrical facades, high ceilings, elegant proportions and classical ornamentation.
No 23 London Road boasts original period features restored or enhanced to include Stucco detailing, Doric pilasters, ornate columns, enriched rods to sides of steps, continuous ground floor iron balcony with classic period motif balustrade, traditional slate open fireplace, tall full length sash hung windows with working panelled shutters and intricate authentic cornicing and joinery.

At the far end is a lofty wall adorned in ivy evergreen leaves affording privacy.
On the raised ground floor, the main entrance hall leads to an imposing double drawing room combining traditional and modern styling, blending gracefully with the period features of the slate open fireplace; original Parliament hung double panelled doors and twin full height sash windows enjoying a wonderful aspect of the formal gardens of the row of Georgian townhouses across the way.
