Delightful main door three storey Georgian townhouse in a highly sought after location

Description

8 Danube Street is a fine example of a Georgian terraced townhouse offering charming and flexible accommodation over ground, first and second floors. Many of the original period features have been retained while the house has been sensitively upgraded for modern day requirements. At ground floor level a welcoming entrance hall leads to the sitting / dining room with black marble mantelpiece and two windows to Danube Street. Next door lies the beautifully appointed and high specification recently fitted breakfasting kitchen. The integrated appliances include induction hob, two ovens, microwave, dishwasher and a fridge/freezer. A utility room leads to the rear door opening directly to the garden.

An elegant stone stair crowned by a delightful cupola rises to the first floor off which lies the impressive drawing room with white marble mantelpiece, two full height windows and a balcony overlooking Danube Street. There is a spacious principal bedroom, a well appointed family bath and shower room and a further fourth bedroom also on this floor. The stair continues to the second floor where there are two charming bedrooms, a further family shower room and a study, which could also be utilised as a fifth bedroom.

To the rear there is a charming terraced west facing walled garden, with mature planting providing plenty of colour for much of the year.

The property benefitted from a New Town Conservation Society grant in the mid-1990s when the roof was replaced, the chimneys re-built and the front stone balustrades replaced.
