Situation and Description
A substantial period Grade II listed town house with adjoining cottage/annexe. Standing in a prominent position in the much sought after area of St James Square with the benefit of parking and garden. The property is believed to have been an original burgage property, possibly two properties dating back to the 16th Century, with the impressive Georgian façade of red brick and tall sash windows added in the 18th century, and the cottage annexe added in the 20th century.Formerly used as a boarding house for the Haberdashers\‘ Monmouth School the house now has planning permission and listed building consent for conversion to a substantial residential dwelling. The existing property has rooms of elegant proportions with a wealth of character including the imposing central staircase running through the main house, large sash windows and ornate ceiling and wall plasterwork. The house will become an imposing and important residence with impressive spacious entrance hall with stairs to the cellar, two large reception rooms and kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor. The upper floors will provide at least five bedrooms and two bathrooms.The cottage/annexe, with existing interior access to St James House, is easily incorporated into the main house or alternatively used as separate accommodation. There is an existing external access from the small rear courtyard into the ground floor entrance hall. The ground floor provides kitchen/dining room and sitting room, with staircase from the hall leading to the first floor with two bedrooms and shower room off a landing.
