Description

Lying on a corner position and with a handsome façade, this Grade II listed house is a particularly striking landmark property. Built around 1842 and later extended, it has nicely proportioned, flexible accommodation arranged over two floors, plus a useful cellar, with the feeling of light and space enhanced by high ceilings and large windows. It has provided a comfortable family house, and now offers the opportunity to improve or reconfigure further. The double aspect principal reception room has doors opening to the garden and, with door opening to the garden room, it is ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. There is also a large study, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, useful downstairs shower room and storeroom.

On the first floor are four good bedrooms, an en suite shower room, bathroom, and separate cloakroom.
Gates at the front open to an extensive gravelled parking area leading to the front garden, which has mature beds stocked with trees, plants and shrubs.

The west facing walled rear garden is an attractive feature. A paved terrace, ideal for al fresco dining, leads to the garden which is laid to lawn with tree, flower and shrub borders. Large useful storeroom attached to the side of the property.
