We have great pleasure in offering to the market this handsome and particularly spacious period semi detached home.
The property offers a considerable level of versatile accommodation over three floors, approaching 2700 sq ft and although requiring a certain level of cosmetic updating offers great potential and it has retained much of its original character with high corniced ceilings, deep skirting, period doors and many original sash windows.
The accommodation comprises three main reception rooms plus several useful ancillary rooms such as coal house, pantry and workshop, as well as large L shaped conservatory at the rear and central kitchen leading into a breakfast room.
In total there are five double bedrooms over two floors, two bathrooms and two separate cloakrooms servicing the first and second floor accommodation.
A further spacious room is located above the relatively modern double garage and this would make an excellent studio or home office, again adding to the flexibility of this fascinating home.
The property occupies a stunning established and generous plot, set back from the road behind an established frontage with a pair of mature lime trees and considerable blockset driveway which runs to the front, side and rear and leads to a double garage.
The rear garden is a delightful feature of the property, generous by modern standards with a just off westerly aspect, well stocked with mature shrubs.
Overall this is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful and much loved home, which the current vendor is reluctantly moving from after over 40 years.
Viewing certainly comes highly recommended to appreciate both its location and wealth of accommodation and potential.
The accommodation in brief comprises initial entrance hall, ground floor cloakroom, sitting room, formal dining room, breakfast room/snug, kitchen, walk-in pantry, rear side entrance hall, coal house, inner hallway leading to workshop/potting shed, conservatory with access into a studio in the eaves above the garage.
To the first floor there are three double bedrooms, bathroom and separate wc and to the second floor two further double bedrooms, bathroom and separate wc.
