Description

Horgan Twinn are delighted to offer for sale 86 Portway. This is a substantial Victorian family townhouse, which was designed by W.J.Stent who also designed the Athenaeum Theatre in Warminster. The town itself is less than a five minute level walk from the house. The property has been lovingly restored and extended into a comfortable family home keeping many of the original features. In our opinion there is generous accommodation over three floors comprising of Entrance Hall, reception room one with stone mullion window to front and feature stone fireplace, dining room, downstairs shower room, kitchen, study and L shaped sitting room to the rear, with wood burner. On the first floor there is a family bathroom with fitted roll top bath, Master bedroom with walk in wardrobe area, and one further bedroom. On the second floor there are two further attic rooms.

Outside, to the front of the property is a lawned garden with two pathways leading to the front and side of the property, which has a separate entrance into the house. There is also a large bush to the front and mature tree. There is a gated side access leading to a wonderful terrace patio with feature pond and mature shrubs and trees, which follows into a further half of the garden. At the very end of the garden is a timber carport/outbuilding with one single and one double bay with power and a lean to storage. This has parking for 2 cars, all of which can be accessed via a gated entrance to the side of the property onto Bartholomew Lane.

We would consider a viewing essential to appreciate the property fully.
