Occupying a prime position within the heart of Portobello, this exceptional Grade B listed semi-detached Georgian townhouse is a truly outstanding family home, combining elegant period architecture with extensive and flexible accommodation extending to approximately 2,321 sq ft including a separate self-contained annex. Boasting five bedrooms within the principal residence, a detached two-bedroom annex, substantial private gardens and gated off-street parking, this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the area's most impressive family homes.<br/><br/>The property immediately captivates on arrival with its handsome Georgian façade, substantial front garden and secure gated driveway providing valuable off-street parking. Stepping inside, the welcoming entrance hallway sets the tone for the accommodation beyond, showcasing beautiful original encaustic tiled flooring that has been lovingly preserved and provides a stunning first impression.<br/><br/>To the front of the house, the magnificent principal reception room enjoys excellent proportions and an abundance of natural light. Rich in period character, the room features original timber floorboards, ornate cornice detailing and an attractive wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting focal point. The spacious dining kitchen provides an ideal setting for everyday family life and entertaining alike, while the ground floor further offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, a WC and excellent storage.<br/><br/>The first floor continues to impress, offering three generously sized bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The second double bedroom located to the rear of the house provides flexible accommodation, ideally suited to family living or guest accommodation. Bedroom three is a particularly appealing and versatile room, enjoying the same attractive outlook across Brighton Park as the principal bedroom. The lovely green views create a bright and peaceful setting, making it an ideal guest bedroom, home office or study.<br/><br/>One of the property's most unique and valuable features is the detached two-bedroom annex situated to the rear of the main house.
