Ganly Walters is quoting £800,000-plus for 5 Percy Place, a pretty mid-terrace two-storey over garden level Georgian house overlooking the Grand Canal near Mount Street Bridge. It goes to auction on March 1st. The house has been used as offices by estate agents McCabe Crisp and Partners for several years and is now vacant because the agency has merged with Ganly Walters. With around 1,800 sq. ft of floor space and a small back garden, it is ideal for conversion to a city centre home.

The building is in good condition and has many of its original features intact, such as the stained-glass panels in the front door, and over the front bay window. There are three rooms at hall level. Two of these - the original drawing-room and dining-room - interconnect through high double doors and both have original fireplaces. The front room, overlooking the canal, is particularly bright thanks to the bay window.

There are six more rooms - three on the first floor and three at garden level. There is a small back garden which can be accessed both from the garden and hall levels.
