16 Montpelier Terrace is a fine example of an elegant Georgian Gentleman's Residence situated close to the town centre in an attractive Grade 2 Listed Terrace of individually designed houses with an open field in front. The property enjoys super views over the town towards Capstone and Hillsborough, the harbour the Bristol Channel and distant Welsh Coast.

The house has accommodation arranged over 5 floors and is particularly versatile and perfect for the larger family or for dual family occupation. Furthermore, the lower ground floor could be converted, subject to any necessary consent, in to a self-contained flat or annexe which could accommodate a dependent relative or extended family or could be used to derive a useful supplementary income as a permanent or holiday letting unit. At the rear, there is an enclosed area of garden with a sunny southerly aspect. The sale also includes the area of ground as denoted in title number DN385290 amounts to 0.02 acres and currently comprises a tarmacked parking space and an area of grass/scrub. This area would easily provide additional parking spaces if required, subject to any necessary consent.

The original features include sash windows, and there are ornate coved ceilings, a staircase with a spindle balustrade, various fireplaces in the main living rooms together with full height windows which perfectly frame the delightful views over the town towards the sea and coastline.

Montpelier Terrace is one of the premier terraces within the town and a fine example of the towns Georgian/Victorian heritage. Very unusually there is an open field immediately in front of the terrace which is owned by various residents of the road and which provides an attractive green space. The high street is just a few hundred metres away and the sea front which has a picturesque harbour and working quay is just 1/4 mile away. The towns schools for all ages are all close by.

The lower ground floor has independent access from both the front and the rear and the stairs interconnect with the main entrance hall on the ground floor. A central corridor leads to a series of three rooms. The vendors plan was to install a new shower room and utility room, but was unable to complete it, so the whole floor has huge scope to put your own stamp down.

There is the immediate feeling of space upon entering the property in to the large and grand entrance hall. There is a 17' x 15' sitting room at the front with a large bay window with working shutters and enjoying pleasant views across the open field and over the town towards the Bristol Channel and distant Welsh Coast. An archway leads through into a further 16ft x 15ft reception room at the rear. The kitchen has recently been fitted and is located at the rear of the property.

Moving up through the property from the ground floor, the half landing has a large modern four piece suite bathroom. The main landing has two further rooms leading off. There is a most impressive 23' x 16' front room which is a superb and elegant room enjoying the excellent views across the town towards Capstone, the Bristol Channel and distant Welsh Coast. This room would make a fabulous master bedroom or, as is the case on some of the other houses on the terrace, a grand drawing room.

The second floor has two spacious double bedrooms and a further chic and stylish bathroom. The third floor has three double bedrooms and a modern shower room. The two bedrooms located at the front of the property on the third floor enjoy superb coastal views.

There is unrestricted parking available within Montpelier Road. Leading along the front of the terrace is an attractive raised paved walk-way with wrought iron railings. At the rear, leading from the kitchen, there is courtyard area which steps down to the lower ground floor level as well as steps up to the main part of the garden. The lower ground floor level comprises coverage storage areas. The main part of the garden is enclosed by attractive stone walls and has a sunny southerly aspect.

The extent of the renovation works completed and carried out by the current vendors include a complete re-plumb, with a hot water system that's never been used; per-floor zoned heating, and new radiators in every room, including cast iron radiators on the ground and first floors. A complete re-wire, new mains consumer, LED lights throughout, standing lamp sockets in all large rooms and cat cables running from nearly every room to the closet under the 4th floor stairs. A complete re-plaster and redecoration throughout, barring the basement. Complete new-laid roof, insulation (now warm-deck) and all six dormers being re-sealed and slated. All floors repaired and over boarded to create stability, ready for carpet or LVT. Three brand new high-spec bathrooms, two with baths (parts for another shower room and WC in the basement) A brand-new kitchen, including brand appliances that have never been used; fridge, oven, dishwasher. Basement completely reclaimed – this was unusable when originally purchased, all floors re-levelled, door frames created, metal studded away from the wall and MRP throughout. All materials and furniture in the property included in the sale, which includes the replacement doors/ windows that couldn't be repaired and a lot of new high-quality MADE furniture.

AGENTS NOTE: We have been advised by the vendors that nearly all problems have been remedied, with significant opportunity to really get involved and get it over the line without the major stress normally required to completely renovate. Works have all completed with local contractors, who will be more than happy to resume the work to get the property over the line.
