an elegant grade ii listed georgian townhouse, sympathetically restored with an abundance of original character

The Property

The Croft is a handsome Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse, occupying an elevated position above Bowbridge Lane. This elegant mid-terraced home has been sympathetically restored by the current owners, beautifully combining its wealth of original character with tasteful modern styling. Entered via the front door into a welcoming hall with flagstone flooring, a staircase rises to the upper floors. The impressive drawing/dining room is undoubtedly the heart of the home, boasting tall sash windows with shutters and a window seat, flooding the room with natural light. A striking Cotswold stone fireplace with open fire, painted floorboards and high ceilings create a wonderful sense of grandeur. An opening leads through to the kitchen, giving a more contemporary open-plan feel. The kitchen features a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, an exposed Cotswold stone wall, matching painted floorboards, timber panelling, wooden worktops, fitted base units, an integrated oven with gas hob, a oneand-a-half bowl sink and a cupboard housing the boiler. A door opens directly onto the rear courtyard. In the floor, there is a trap door which lifts upwards to provide access to the cellar. The first-floor landing is filled with natural light from a large sash window. Also on this floor is a generous double bedroom overlooking the front, complete with painted floorboards and a cast iron fireplace with decorative tiled inserts and ornate surround, together with a small bathroom with a claw foot bath. A further staircase rises to the second floor, where there is a light landing, a shower room with plumbing for a washing machine, and a second double bedroom with access to the loft. Property Information: The title will require splitting from 99 Bowbridge Lane. There is a slight flying freehold on the staircase. Heating: Gas central heating and an open fireplace. Ofcom: Broadband – Ultrafast available. Mobile coverage: Good outside. Inside: Variable

Outside

From the pavement, a path and steps, both belonging to No. 99 Bowbridge Lane, lead up to the property. At the top of the steps, turn left through a pedestrian gate to the front paved terrace, enclosed by an original Cotswold stone boundary wall, mature hedging and flower borders, with space for a small table and chairs. To the rear, an enclosed paved courtyard has been enhanced with newly installed timber fencing, creating an outdoor space ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining
