Nelson Alexander director Arch Staver said the charmer was recently renovated by architect Andrew Simpson, who had managed to “blend in old with new contemporary design”.
Among the design highlights were a striking geometric extension at the rear and “cloud pod” above the kitchen.
The kitchen is fitted with Miele and Ilve appliances, while the dining area opens out to a landscaped alfresco courtyard.
One of the three bedrooms also enjoys access to the balcony. Two bathrooms complete the floorplan.
