This fine detached family house was constructed in the early part of the 20th century to a traditional and attractive gable fronted design with red brick elevations surmounted by a slate roof.

Approached beyond a beautiful decorative porch with quarry tiled floor and leaded light/panelled front door the accommodation incorporates rooms of generous proportions. Great care has been taken to retain much of the original character complemented by tasteful décor and quality contemporary fittings, all of which combine to create an exceptional family house enhanced by tall ceilings, intricate cornices and stunning fireplaces.

Upon entering the feeling of space is apparent and an unusual spindle balustrade staircase returns to one side with glass balustrade galleried landing above. Positioned toward the front there is an elegant sitting room with rectangular bay window and the focal point of a striking cast iron fireplace. The dual aspect living room features a charming natural wood fireplace surround and overlooks the delightful landscaped grounds. Double opening doors lead onto the naturally light dining kitchen which is fitted with a comprehensive range of Shaker style units and incorporates a breakfast bar alongside integrated appliances. There is also an adjacent utility room and importantly French windows from the dining kitchen open onto the stone paved rear terrace which is ideal for entertaining during the summer months.

The basement is utilised for storage and there is much further potential subject to obtaining the relevant approval.

At first floor level there are two superb double bedrooms served by a luxurious family bathroom and guest bedroom with well appointed en suite shower room/WC. The carefully designed principle suite is on the second floor and benefits from a dressing area, bedroom with vaulted ceiling and sumptuous shower room/WC. In addition there is ample space on the first floor landing for a study area.

Gas fired central heating and a pressurised hot water system have been installed together with PVCu double glazing throughout.

Externally the gravel driveway provides off road parking for several cars and the rear gardens are laid mainly to lawn, surrounded by a fence/hedge perimeter and a variety of mature trees.
