A Magnificent Grade II Listed Period Residence. An exceptional opportunity to acquire a truly impressive and substantial double-fronted, semi-detached Grade II-listed period residence, occupying a prominent position within Spring Bank Place. Rich in history, character and architectural detail, this magnificent home combines Victorian grandeur, generous proportions and considerable versatility.
Dating from circa 1850–55, the property forms one half of the Grade II-listed pair comprising Nos. 2 and 4 Spring Bank Place. The pair is distinguished by its Jacobean detailing, steep gables, sandstone elevations with ashlar dressings and Welsh slate roofs.
Internally, the accommodation extends to approximately 4,450 sq ft and is arranged over four floors, providing an abundance of living and entertaining space. The scale and proportions are particularly impressive, while the wealth of period character provides an attractive backdrop for modern family living.

Upon entering, the grandeur of the property is immediately apparent. Generously proportioned reception accommodation provides a range of options for formal entertaining, family gatherings and everyday living. Period detailing and the character associated with a property of this age create a sense of individuality rarely found in modern homes.
The lower-ground floor benefits from separate rear access, a second kitchen, sitting room and WC, offering excellent potential for ancillary, guest or multigenerational accommodation, subject to any necessary consents. The first and second floors provide five spacious bedrooms, together with a house bathroom and additional WCs.
