Full Description: A very special Victorian three bedroom townhouse on College Street in the heart of Kemptown (previously voted as Time Out's Top 50 World's Coolest Neighbourhoods). Located a short walk from the beach, Sea Lanes/Marine Terrace and an eclectic array of nearby cafes and independent shops.

The lower ground floor has an open, airy living and dining room with a modern open fireplace. To the rear is a new integrated modern kitchen with new AEG oven appliances, a new dishwasher, and an induction hob. It has a tall ceiling and an original exposed stone feature wall above it. There is a separate dedicated laundry to the rear, with a separate room that can be easily converted to a ground floor WC, already having plumbing in place. The kitchen leads out to a southerly-facing courtyard and garden room. The ground floor also has a separate street entrance accessed via a private courtyard.

Over the upper two floors are three spacious double bedrooms, also large enough to be used as separate living areas, complete with original timber doors/hardware and timber flooring, two of which feature fireplaces.

There is a beautiful, modern 4-piece bathroom containing a free-standing bath and Lusso Luxe matt black floor standing bath/shower mixer tap, a separate stone walk-in shower with a Lusso Luxe matt black thermostatic rain shower set with separate handheld shower, and 'floating' wall hung WC and basin with Lusso Luxe wall mounted matt black taps.

There is a substantial loft space, insulated and with loft boards providing an expansive amount of additional storage - or, subject to planning consent, the potential to be an additional loft room. In the words of the owners: "This home has been lovingly fully renovated and decorated to a very high standard by two experienced Architects, passionate about good design. The tastefully modern decorations complement and are influenced by the original character features of the Victorian home, such as the original timber doors and hardware. Black switches and power sockets have been influenced by the refurbished original black door hardware. Material finishes and the Farrow and Ball colour palate have been carefully considered to provide lush light spaces on each level, with original timber floorboards exposed upstairs and new lighter timber flooring at ground floor."

The rear of the house benefits from a southerly aspect, creating light open spaces."

We like: This is a house for grownups that don't want to grow up. Versatile, classic yet organic and most importantly, wholly liveable. Three floors of delight, all with a strong narrative and a true sense of adventure. Spacious and snug in equal measures.

Energy. Reduction of energy costs has been carefully considered with the installation of a new energy efficient Worcester Greenstar 4000 30kw A rated Combi hot water and heating boiler, controlled by a Nest learning thermostat. - The Boiler has a Worcester 10-year manufacturers guarantee until 15 April 2034. There are efficient modern lacquered column radiators throughout the house.

Insulation has been placed throughout the house, including within each floor, to reduce heating demand/costs. All cisterns are low water volume and there are water flow measures on the taps to reduce water consumption/cost

All ceiling recessed lights are LED to reduced power consumption/cost.

The integrated Kitchen units & utility room storage/units and worktops have been manufactured from sustainable recycled plastic bottles and recycled timber. An induction hob has been installed in the kitchen.

All new timber (flooring/walls) have been manufactured from sustainable sources. All windows are double glazed and draft sealed.
