This gorgeous Georgian property in the heart of Long Sutton has come up for sale.
The fantastic four bedroom town house is filled with character, displaying a wealth of original features throughout.
The total accommodation in the lovingly renovated property extends to 2,164 square feet and it really is one of the most impressive, eye-catching homes in town.
Spread out over four floors, the Grade II listed townhouse combines modern style with period features, providing a stunning living space with a sense of calm and ease.
Within the property, there is a drawing room and dining room with a bespoke fitted library, which are connected by original double doors.
Each of the rooms have working fireplaces and original sash windows. The property has also retained its elegant archways throughout and boasts thick walls which keep noise levels to a minimum.
The kitchen/breakfast room, large utility / laundry room and snug are located on the lower ground floor.
The current owners are particularly fond of the kitchen/breakfast room, which catches the sun virtually all day long.
The first and second floors offer space for the four double bedrooms – all of which boast their own en suites – and the loft is fully boarded out, providing excellent storage and could be converted into further accommodation (subject to planning).
The history of the townhouse is fascinating.
It is positioned at the end of a majestic terrace of three substantial houses, previously known as Brunswick Terrace. The properties were built by The Admiralty between 1760 and 1780 as residences for senior naval officers for Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
The agent says that as Lord Admiral Nelson was born in North Norfolk in 1758, it is possible, indeed likely, that he may well have stayed in this very house – or at least visited his fellow officers who may have lived here around that era.
All three of the properties are thought to have had varied uses. For example, some time in the 1800s the houses were commandeered as a hospital, and fast-forwarding to the 20th Century, in the 1980s this particular house was divided into flats.
However, the property has now been fully restored to its former glory but with all the modern conveniences of contemporary living.
Outside, there is so much on offer.
The property has a front garden with wrought-iron railings and the attractively designed and well-manicured rear garden is south facing and walled. There is vehicular access at the rear down a drive to the side of the terrace where solid timber gates open into the garden.
A useful timber and brick shed under a slate roof provides storage for garden tools, furniture and solid fuel for the wonderful open fires.
