Whilst paying homage to original heritage features including high ceilings, ornate fireplaces and floorboards, this delightful terrace will surprise with a smart, modern addition to the back of the house complete with a range of modern creature comforts. Following an extensive renovation, it now presents 3 large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a large central entertaining courtyard adjacent to an open plan living space.

The popular commercial and dining strips of Victoria Avenue and Bridport streets are only moments away as are the many historic old pubs that dot this leafy suburb.
