DESCRIPTION Pennsylvania crescent is conveniently situated within a quiet and leafy residential area less than half a mile of the city centre and consists of just five elegant detached Grade II * houses which date from the early 19th century. In recent years this classic south facing Regency house has undergone a comprehensive and most sympathetic restoration programme whereby modern day creature comforts combine perfectly with the numerous hallmarks associated of its time. Rendered walls under a slate roof, this stunning property offers, well-proportioned and beautifully presented accommodation. The principal accommodation is arranged over three floors whilst an extensive storage area on the lower ground floor, with binned cellar, could so easily lend itself to an independent self-contained apartment. (Subject to the necessary planning consent). From the reception hall a beautifully crafted staircase leads to the first and second floors whilst doors lead into an elegant coved ceiling drawing room with shuttered French doors onto an attractive canopied veranda with iron trellis supports. The bow ended sitting room is a most attractive room with many lovely features. Each of the rooms have fireplaces with impressive marble surrounds. The bespoke kitchen, by Tom Howley, is beautifully made and extremely well appointed, furnished with a range of base units under granite work surfaces with matching wall units over. Built in appliances include a 3 oven gas Aga, induction hob, fridge and dish-washer. The kitchen opens into a stunning breakfast room where views over the enclosed walled garden can be enjoyed. Matching bespoke units provide additional storage and each of the rooms benefit from under floor heating. Ancillary rooms include a cloakroom and a most useful utility/boot room.
