There is a combination of hard plastering and lining board surfaces, original staircase, a cellar, open fire places, gas heating and cooking plus refrigerated cooling. Set on a 654m2 in 2 titles (427m2 and 226m2), the leafy garden has rear street access from Prendergast Street, there is off street parking, a multi-purpose store shed plus slate and brick pathways. Don't' delay, walk in your own shoes and make a time to inspect this special property!
"Ye tuneful cobblers! Still your notes prolong. Compose at once a slipper and a song. So shall the fair your handiwork peruse. Your sonnets sure shall please"….Byron.
