Combining outstanding period proportions with remarkable flexibility, the property is currently configured as a single residential dwelling and benefits from approved planning permission to create two self-contained apartments, presenting an exciting opportunity for developers, investors, multi-generational living, or purchasers seeking a truly unique city residence.
Accessed via its own private main door, the accommodation is arranged over two expansive levels and offers an impressive array of reception and bedroom accommodation.
