**Summary**
This is truly a once in a generation opportunity to secure a historic home in
one of the most prestigious residential locations in the city. Individually
designed by renowned architect Clement George and built to an exceptional
standard in 1928, there have only been two previous owners. Spanning three
floors, the interior design of the property has been finished to a high
specification and style. A common theme throughout is the beautiful Bruce Oak
woodwork. Acclaimed local artisan cabinet makers Scullion Bruce and Co
handcrafted the main bathroom and kitchen which is finished in maple and the
study in walnut.

grand reception hallway which provides superb circulation and entertaining
space. Off the hallway is a spacious cloakroom with WC and wash basin. The
beautiful drawing room with dual aspect bay windows is the first of three
reception rooms flooded with natural light, each of which looks out to the
private garden. French doors in the cosy sitting room open onto a patio and
the elegant dining room has a further bay window with another vista of the
extensive, immaculate garden. Custom - built, the dining kitchen has a
comprehensive range of curved floor and wall cabinets that are complemented by
deep bevelled granite worksurfaces. A window seat overlooks the rear garden
