THE PROPERTY

A superb opportunity to buy a period detached house on asubstantial plot of over half an acre with fabulous ground floor entertainingspace in this highly regarded residential area.  The Grade II listedproperty is set back from the road behind mature trees and twin sets of doublegates providing an ‘in and out’ drive.  The substantial property ofapproximately 4000 sq ft offers superb ground floor space that could be used ina variety of ways.  There is also the potential for a self-contained annexwith two bedrooms.  There are 4 bedrooms including a master suite plus abox room in the main part of the house.  The large plot of over half anacre allows for great gardens, off street parking and garaging.

While there is much period charm to the house including thesweeping staircase and high ceilings it is surprisingly energy efficient with a‘C’ EPC rating.  Off street parking is also plentiful on the driveway behind a remote operated high gate that gives access to a double garage and asingle one plus a further, more secure car hardstanding area.  This lovelyproperty has been a much loved family home for many years and is now ready forthe next chapter in its long life.

The property has certainly been a wellmaintained and practical home in its current configuration, but we feel that itoffers the opportunity to be reconfigured to suit a variety of purchasers' preferences.  There may even be the potential to convert it to commercialuse (subject to any necessary permissions).  The substantial billiard roomwith stunning fireplace could make a very grand reception room. Current trends for a living kitchen space could be met by moving it to wherethe current sitting room is located with its adjacent dining room andconservatory.  The sizable rear garden has been landscaped to create anumber of different areas and there is a substantial ornamental pond withcharming bridge over.  There are also two former stables in addition tothe extensive garaging space.
