About the house
There is a profound sense of restoration at 3 Banks Terrace. Set within an, entirely private, elegant square, not unlike those of London’s Belgravia or Edinburgh’s Queen Street Gardens. It is a house beautifully returned to itself, offering a rare sanctuary where one might do exactly the same.
Driven by heritage
Rescued from a 1970s apartment conversion, the house has been thoughtfully pared back to its architectural bones. Undergoing a sensitive reimagining of its flow and purpose. Beneath the elegant aesthetics lies a rigorously updated infrastructure - including a full rewire, part of which is 3-phase electrical supply so it is EV-charger ready. An entirely new plumbing and zoned heating system, controlled via the plant room encompassing overspecced radiators, instant hot water and underfloor heating in the snug and en suite. The house also boasts comprehensively restored and draft-proofed sash windows - proving that period proportions need not preclude contemporary warmth, comfort and ease.
The spatial arrangement is exceptionally well-conceived. An open-plan kitchen and living area spans the raised ground floor—a rarity in Georgian townhouses, drawing in natural light and leafy views from the front and rear gardens. It is a home of quiet, considered convenience, where a socially oriented kitchen island and a highly versatile floorplan invite the new custodian to live exactly as they choose. The result is a home that breathes easily, rooted firmly in its past but entirely attuned to make modern life, and that of the next owners, a breeze.
