AN ORIGINAL BANK-VAULT DOOR SLIDES TO REVEAL A SUNNY BEDROOM, ACCESSING AN ENSUITE BATHROOM AND A TWO-COMPARTMENT STORAGE ROOM.
AT THE HEAD OF THE SUPERBLY-CRAFTED STAIRCASE IS A SECOND MASSIVE LIVING AREA, WITH DARK POLISHED TIMBER FLOOR AND A BREATHTAKING BEAMED AND GABLED CEILING CLAD IN DISTRESSED TIMBER AND INSET WITH SKYLIGHTS. A SECOND DINING AREA, WITH FIN-PATTERNED PRESSED METAL WALLS RUNS OFF TO THE KEELEY LANE SIDE OF THE BUILDING. AT THE REAR IS A STUNNING BATHROOM, FLOORED IN STONE, WITH A FREE-STANDING BATH FRAMED IN POLISHED TIMBER, SEPARATE SHOWER ROOM, AND DOUBLE ITALIAN BASINS; POLISHED TIMBER DOORS CONCEAL A FULL-SIZE LAUNDRY. TO THE FRONT, ANGLED OFF TO THE RIGHT AND OVERLOOKING THE STREET IS A HANDSOME BEDROOM/STUDY WITH DRESSING ROOM AND AN EGYPTIAN-DECO METAL CEILING; A FURTHER DOUBLE BEDROOM, WITH BUILT-IN WARDROBES, IS SET OPPOSITE.
ONE OF THIS RESIDENCE'S MANY SURPRISES IS A LARGE PARENTS' RETREAT, ENTERED THROUGH SPLENDID SCROLL-WORK DOORS; ON THE SCALE OF AN APARTMENT, IT COMPRISES A FINE LIVING AREA OPENING TO A BATHROOM, WITH A MEZZANINE LEVEL-BEDROOM LOOKING DOWN OVER THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE HOUSE. PLANNING PERMISSION FOR A ROOF GARDEN OVERLOOKING HOLTOM STREET HAS BEEN GRANTED.
IN TERMS OF ITS HERITAGE, LOCATION, AND SCALE - HUGE WELL-SEPARATED LIVING AREAS, THEATRE ROOM, 5/6 BEDROOMS, AND 3 BATHROOMS - THIS PROPERTY IS UNIQUE.
