Description

Built around 1924, this striking detached house provides a nicely presented family home of character, and complemented by attractive west facing gardens. The practical, lateral layout will appeal to families, since it is arranged mainly over the ground and first floors, with a useful second floor in addition. There are six bedrooms on the upper floors, together with two bathrooms. The centrepiece is undoubtedly the large, welcoming living room, which opens to the gardens, and is ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. There is also a kitchen/breakfast room overlooking the front, and a downstairs cloakroom. The mature, walled, west facing rear gardens are particularly appealing. They are laid to lawn and well stocked with mature trees, plants and shrubs. The detached outbuilding is a useful annexe, with a living room, bedroom, kitchen and shower room. It is ideal for guest/ancillary or teenage accommodation, and it could appeal to those wanting to work from home or for generating an additional income.
The gated drive provides good off street parking, and the front garden I stocked with trees plants and shrubs.
