A recently refurbished communal hall leads to the private entrance on the ground floor. The elegant drawing room is a major feature with two full height sash windows with working shutters. A central marble fireplace with wood burner is also a rare find in a city apartment. The plasterwork on the tall corniced ceiling plus the period ‘wedding doors’ add to the stylish interior décor. Facing south, this room is bathed with light. The adjacent principal bedroom also benefits from high ceilings, a marble fire place and pleasant outlook over the rear garden.

The upper terrace has the bonus of the Bath stone wall created a high back drop; a mature tree provides a natural umbrella over a seating area.
