This stunning historic five-bedroom Grade II listed residential townhouse which was originally “The Warwick dispensary for the sick and poor” in 1826 and from 1871 was run as a small hospital. The dispensary ceased to function in 1948 on the introduction of the National Health Service and then used for general practice right up until about 12 years ago when the current owners took over and converted it to a private residential dwelling. They have with great care and respect for its historical significance sympathetically renovated and transformed the property back to its former glory! The property retains many of the original period features including elegant timber sash windows, open fireplaces, cast iron radiators, exquisite enduring beauty of wooden panelling and elm/oak floorboards and staircase. The property must be seen to appreciate its traditional and historic heritage.
