Spanning eight spacious bedrooms and currently arranged as six self-contained flats, this substantial residence is ideal for discerning buyers seeking both strong income potential and versatile lifestyle options.

Beautifully set behind a private front garden, and offering both driveway and garage parking, the property embodies the grandeur of an earlier era – from elegant period features to the welcoming ambience of a true “gentleman’s residence”. Its flexible layout is perfect for those looking to continue operating profitable holiday or student lettings, with a current income of approximately £80,000 per annum that is anticipated to rise towards £100,000 in the near future.

For those keen to enhance or repurpose, the house is perfectly suited for further conversion schemes—perhaps redeveloping into a series of luxurious self-contained flats for resale (subject to necessary permissions and consents), or continuing as a popular AirBnB, student residence or boutique Bed & Breakfast. The expansive private garden presents additional scope for outdoor enjoyment, while the wealth of original architectural detail offers the chance to restore its former glory as a grand family home.

The location is equally enviable, with the verdant landscapes of Meyrick Park just moments away—ideal for leisurely weekends or energising walks.
