A Rare Find: Charming Former Gardener's Cottage with Victorian Roots.

Tucked away behind electric gates and set back in a private, secluded position off West Bank Mews, this exceptional detached home began life as a gardener's cottage, with origins dating back to mid 1800s. Full of character and history, it has since been thoughtfully finished to a high standard throughout, blending period charm with contemporary comforts.
