Square and Crescent have once again demonstrated their expertise in delivering residential accommodation of the highest quality, carefully reimagining this lower ground floor apartment to create a refined contemporary home while preserving many of the building's original period features.

Positioned within an elegant Victorian townhouse, this exceptional three-bedroom residence extends to approximately 1,291 sq ft, offering beautifully balanced accommodation complete with a private south-facing terrace and landscaped rear garden.
