Built circa 1860, 27 Belgrave Square East is a substantial family home which has been a very much-loved home over the last 43 years. A protected structure, it is an excellent example of a Victorian terraced residence. All of its main original period features remain intact in rooms of elegant proportions, and are complemented by beautiful presentation and nice attention to detail throughout. The ceiling cornice work is truly spectacular.

The property is accessed via a flight of granite steps. Upon entering you are immediately struck by the high ceilings making it a very bright house with intricate plasterwork on the centre rose, archway and ceiling cornicing. There are three reception rooms on this level, a large dual aspect living/kitchen to the left-hand side overlooking the gardens both front and rear and a TV/Family Room and a Study/home office which is accessed via the TV room, on the right-hand side.

The granite walled rear garden has a south easterly aspect. It is very private, not overlooked and perfect for a morning coffee. It is a haven of peace and quiet and full of colour and fragrance all year. There is a private pedestrian access which goes behind the property and gives access to the main road, ideal for bikes and bins etc.
