Designer's Town House quiet street, in city centre 2 on street parking permits
No. 81 Tower Street ~ Designer's Townhouse has light rooms with high ceilings and original features. The interior is an oasis of calm, sympathetically restored with a quiet palette of colours and some quirky touches. The house is nestled down a quiet side street within the city centre.
Superbly refurbished period town house situated in the heart of the city within easy walking distance on the mainline railway.
Highly attractive period house with well proportioned accommodation behind a pretty Victorian façade set back from the street with a pretty front garden.

The property has been lovingly restored and is presented in excellent order throughout to a high quality finish.
There are 3 bedrooms with a further double sofa bed in the living room.
The property has been modernised whilst retaining many features resplendent of the period, including delightful ceiling mouldings, fireplaces, original sash windows and the traditional panelled doors. Additional features have been added in keeping with the period.
The shaker style kitchen is fitted with a fridge freezer, washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave and cooker.
A contemporary bathroom with white suite, separate bath and shower and limestone tiling.
Two sets of French doors open on to decking at the rear providing a seating area under a pergola with a rich backdrop of mature planting to the enclosed garden to provide a colourful low maintenance outside space.

OUR NEW CLEANING PROCEDURES FOR COVID-19
Our cleaning staff are the first people to access the property after a guest has stayed, so we first need to make sure that they are safe from infection.
We keep up to date with information by recognised health organisations The World Health Organisation and the NHS so we can keep ourselves updated with how the disease is spread and effectively protect our cleaners and our guests at all times.
Our cleaning staff wear disposable gloves throughout a whole property clean as well as taking all the steps below to help slow down and prevent the spread of COVID-19 within our properties.
1. Our priority is safety, not efficiency.
2. Using disinfectant, our cleaners wipe down high touch points such as light switches, lamps, cupboard handles, door handles, window latches, banisters, remote controls, and thermostats as it is extremely likely that a previous guest touched these points during their stay.
3. We put all cutlery, crockery and cooking implements through the dishwasher again whether it has been used or not. This limits cross infection from touching items even if they weren’t used.
4. We continue to disinfect high-contamination sites such as the toilet, basin, shower and bath, and rubbish bin and any toilet brushes.
5. We make sure all cleaning staff wipe down all appliances, electronics, and amenities that are provided such as t
