Description
This wonderful period semi detached house has been in the same occupation since 1973 and has only been marketed twice in the last seventy years!
Whilst the house is very liveable in its current condition and configuration, it also represents a superb opportunity for a buyer to stamp their own mark on what is an exceptional unmodernised gem, creating a superb family house.
The property has enormous character and charm throughout and retains many original features, including a very pretty canopy to the rear, remarkably well preserved tessellated floor tiles to the hallway and some beautiful ceiling mouldings.
The hall is wide and welcoming and leads to the left into a large reception room which has a bay window to the front.
To the middle of the property is a good sized kitchen/breakfast room and to the rear is a large drawing room which has excellent views over the garden and also level access thereto.
A downstairs cloakroom rounds off the ground floor accommodation and below this, there is also a cellar.
Upstairs, the large principal bedroom is to the front of the property and is well served by an en suite shower room and fitted wardrobes.
There are two further double bedrooms at first floor level and these share a good sized family bathroom which is also utilised by the bedrooms on the second floor.
The garden is just glorious, still retaining apple trees from the orchard that used to be sited here. There is useful side access to the garden, which is mature, south facing and remarkably private.
