Selling agents Humberts said: “This classic Georgian house has been in the same family for many years and offers an opportunity to modernise to a buyer’s own specification.”

On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads into a sitting room, study (which could also be used as a dining room), kitchen, scullery and bathroom. The reception rooms are well-proportioned with classic high ceilings with cornicing and there are further period features found throughout the house, including flagstone floors, an open fireplace with marble mantlepiece, sash windows and an original fire range.

A lower-ground-floor basement has been converted into a recording studio, which features a mixing room, studio and recording booth, although all of this is in need of modernisation.

It includes an inspection pit and WC and a workshop to the first floor. Humberts note that this building could be converted into an office, studio or annexe, subject to any relevant planning permissions.
