The Haven was reopened as water in the last decade, and the houses along it have been appreciating ever since. 233 m² over four floors, five bedrooms, two bathrooms, with a courtyard garden behind. Built in 1915 and largely unaltered: the first-floor reception rooms run the width of the building and keep their mouldings and shutters, the stairwell is original, and so is the tiled hall. Label D — the front elevation is single-glazed and the sellers have made no attempt to pretend otherwise.
