Description
The subjects are known locally as one of the ‘four sisters ‘and form part of an impressive Victorian terrace. ‘Catherine’ is one of four highly individual townhouses that were commissioned by local builder Andrew McLachlan who named and built the houses for each of his four daughters.

The house itself extends to around 2500 sq ft across three levels and presents an attractive symmetrical facade of blonde sandstone under a pitched slate roof with deep overhangs and four pane sash and case window formations.
The present owners have maintained the house to an impeccable standard which lends a contemporary feel and modern specification without compromising the stunning period features of the original design. The result is a quite superb property which has a flexible layout and enough space for the most boisterous of families.

In more detail, the ground floor comprises entrance vestibule, grand reception hall with feature staircase, cloaks/WC, formal bay window lounge, superb fully fitted dining kitchen with access to delightful family/tv room and useful utility.
