Nestled within the prestigious and leafy Lansdown Road Conservation Area, this impressive detached Victorian residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of considerable character and versatility. Set on a beautifully established south-facing plot, the property combines timeless period charm with substantial accommodation—ideal for a large family or those seeking scope for further development.

The residence currently offers an expansive layout, featuring 11 well-proportioned bedrooms, 4 elegant reception rooms, 2 family bathrooms, and a useful cellar. High ceilings, sash windows, and ornate period detailing throughout pay tribute to the building’s original grandeur.
