Inside: With original sash windows, picture rails and ceiling roses, this stunning period property has modern features too, to create a spacious and stylish family home. The house, which is arranged over four floors, has been sympathetically restored to its former glory and modernised with a new kitchen – complete with island – bathrooms and solar slates.

Outside: The house is set behind listed original cast iron railings, with matching gates, leading onto a courtyard-style garden and private parking for two to three cars giving access to an attached garage. Enclosed by high walls for privacy, the rear garden is perfect for city living with plenty of space for al fresco dining and entertaining. A parcel of lawn is surrounded by raised beds, paved terraces, a pergola and rockery.
