6 Selwyn Gardens is a magnificent, detached family house constructed with striking red brick elevations under tiled roofs, set within gardens and grounds of just under half an acre. A building of local interest, the property retains many of its charming original period features and offers substantial and well-proportioned accommodation with high ceilings, extending to 3,681 sq ft (342 sq m). The house is flooded with natural light from large windows, which is particularly evident in the ground floor reception rooms.

Although well-presented throughout, the property would benefit from some refurbishment and modernisation to bring it back to its former splendour. In short, it offers a rare opportunity for prospective purchasers to acquire a special city home, with planning permission in place, (reference 23/03336/HFUL, see floorplan on page 7 within this brochure), in a highly desirable residential area, with scope to carry out works to their own requirements, subject to the necessary consents being obtained.
