Property description

A Victorian five bedroom detached house with mature wraparound gardens set in a plot of approximately 2 acres in a secluded location with extensive driveway parking, a double garage, and an outbuilding.

The period property retains character features, for example the original staircase and fireplaces, and has over 3,588 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. This includes an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor, a cloakroom and access to the study and sitting room. An inner reception hall with a feature fireplace and cloak cupboard leads to the kitchen/breakfast room, the utility room, and the dining room. A rear lobby accesses the games room, an office and a ground floor bedroom which has an en suite shower room. On the first floor, the galleried landing has two storage cupboards and leads to the principal bedroom with an en suite shower room, and three further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a study area on the landing. Decorative wrought iron gates open to the main drive which leads to a parking area in front of the house and continues round the side of the house to further parking and the integral double garage.

The farmhouse style kitchen has a window overlooking the side garden, quarry tiled flooring and is fitted with a range of wooden fronted wall and base units including drawers and shelving with tiled splashbacks and worksurfaces incorporating a one-and-a-half bowl sink with a drainer and a mixer tap.
