About this property
4 Walker Street has recently undergone conversion from office to residential use and as part of this has been extensively refurbished and modernised to create an immaculately presented townhouse finished to an extremely high specification. The accommodation benefits from both east and west facing aspects allowing for an abundance of natural light throughout the day, further enhanced by the generous cupola crowning the impressive original stone stair. The property has been sensitively upgraded, perfectly catering for modern living, and yet sympathetically blending contemporary fixtures and fittings with the many fine period features including the stone stair with wrought iron balustrades and mahogany banister, delightful plasterwork and astragal windows.
The front door opens to a welcoming entrance hall with herringbone oak flooring, which continues into the sitting/dining room to the front of the house. Here there is a beautiful bow ended wall as well as a charming mantelpiece. The kitchen faces west and has been beautifully appointed. It is by Riddle and Coghill and is topped with Silestone surfaces with a generous island providing ample space for informal dining. A useful and fully fitted utility room lies off this, while there is a cloakroom with WC as well as two storage cupboards also on this floor.
The stair rises to the upper floor where there is the elegant drawing room with three windows bringing plenty of light. There is a wonderful mantelpiece also, while the original double doors are still in tact opening to what is now the principal bedroom suite. It is a particularly generous room, again with full height window and working shutters, as well as a luxurious en suite bath and shower room off. The stair rises to the upper floor where there are three further double bedrooms, of which one has an en suite shower room. In addition there is a superb family bathroom.
