5 Bed Terraced House For Sale

Stunning A-listed late Georgian terraced five-bedroom, four-bathroom, four-storey townhouse in pristine condition, set in its own gardens, on one of the most desirable residential streets in the UK.


Renowned portrait artist Sir Henry Raeburn, who enlisted the help of architect James Milne, drew up the plans in the early 19th Century, naming the street after his wife Ann Edgar.

This grand (total floor area 3201sq.ft.) property has been extensively and throughout refurbished and extended in 2019, retaining and restoring many of its original Georgian features: working shutters, fine marble fireplaces, cornicing and a vestibule with flagged floor. It has bath and shower rooms and WCs finished to exemplary standards, sash and case windows and a contemporary gas fired central heating system. Offering five bedrooms and spacious living areas such as a drawing room, dining room and sunroom, it is an ideal and exceptionally comfortable home, while providing flexibility to vary the use of its rooms, if so required.
A beautiful front garden welcomes you up a short flight of steps to the front door that opens onto the vestibule that gives an immediate feeling of the scale of the house. Within the vestibule there is a cloak room and press. The vestibule leads to the hall and staircase that is naturally lit by the roof window on the second floor. A large bedroom sits to the front of the house with a fine cornice, marble fireplace and a press with its original Georgian curved door. A second bedroom with en-suite shower room overlooks the back garden and Dean Tennis and Squash Club.

The spacious lower ground floor has under floor heating and benefits from natural light throughout and offers a large and exceptionally well-designed kitchen from Sculleries of Stockbridge with bespoke, hand built and hand painted floor and wall mounted storage units, twin Belfast sinks, marble work surfaces, a full complement of integrated appliances and a copious marble topped island with built-in storage. The dining with a stylish fireplace room adjoins the kitchen which leads into the newly extended sunroom for access to the back garden. The well-stocked back garden is terraced, and its boundary is shared with the tennis courts.
There is also, on this floor, a bathroom and a utility room and built in storage and lastly a traditional under stair storage cupboard.

The magnificent drawing room retains its original position within the house on the first floor. Its three three-quarter height windows face Ann Street. The room is enhanced by its intricate cornice, panelling below the dado rail and marble fireplace. A spacious double bedroom with en-suite shower room and a WC complete the accommodation on this floor.
