Description
1 Widcombe Crescent is an exquisite Grade I Listed end of crescent house of considerable architectural merit. A fine example of an early Georgian townhouse, the property was built by Charles Harcourt Masters circa 1799. The property has many architectural details typical of the period including high ceilings, ornate cornicing, architraves and open fireplaces with original surrounds. Currently commercial premises with a pending residential change of use application in progress (PP-13645170), the property has undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment over the years.
The room proportions are superb: of particular note is the spectacular drawing room and withdrawing room, off which to the rear is a stunning balcony that runs the full width of the house. From the rear of the property there are superb views over the city and surrounding countryside.
The garden is arranged on two levels, the first being a terrace ideal for sitting out and entertaining and the second level mainly laid to lawn with easy to maintain shrubs and borders. The house is ideally suited for modern day family living and entertaining on a grand scale.
