5 bedroom house

Having been in the ownership of the same family since the early 1980s this classic townhouse of character is situated in a sought after position overlooking St Cross. Arranged over four floors the house extends to approximately 3,821 sq ft with the welcoming entrance hall leading into an elegantly proportioned drawing room with fireplace and walk in bay window. The sitting/dining room also benefits from a fireplace and walk in bay window whilst the traditionally fitted kitchen overlooks the rear garden and benefits from an adjacent pantry. There is also a w.c. at the end of the hallway.
There are four bedrooms and a family bathroom located on the first floor with the main bedroom being of a generous size with an en suite w.c.. Bedrooms two, three and four are of comparable sizes whilst bedroom five occupies the entire second floor and, as with the other two bedrooms at the front of the building, enjoys an exceptional outlook.
A staircase from the hallway on the ground floor leads to the lower ground floor with three store rooms and a self-contained flat which benefits from access to the outside independent from the house. The accommodation comprises sitting room which is open plan to the kitchen/breakfast room with bedroom and bathroom.
Outside

The garden is arranged in two parts with steps leading up to the enclosed front garden which is laid to lawn and features a summer house and seating area positioned to make the most of the southerly aspect and views. Side access then leads to the rear garden which is one of the highlights of the property being well laid out with an area of lawn, terrace and pergola for outdoor entertaining and vegetable garden with greenhouse. There is a further summer house.
Access from St James’ Lane is shared with the neighbouring properties before branching off into a wide gated parking area for No. 8 with spaces for several cars.
